Good Eatin': Wild Strawbs

Before they were a movie title, wild strawberries were some of the best eating memories from my childhood, right up there with fiddle heads and dandelions, crayfish cooked in coffee cans (crawerfish, we called 'em), roasted squirrel, quahogs steamed on heated rocks and seaweed, panfried trout, and kiver stew. Taming the Wild Strawberry, an article from Vegetarians in Paradise, an Elay veggie org, provides a history of the berry, literary references, folklore and fun facts (such as place names that include the word -- Strawberry Fields forever!), and tips on purchasing, freezing and cooking strawbs. <http://www.vegparadise.com/highestperch45.html>
