Strawberries out of season?

Grumpy old man #100?

Why buy strawberry’s out of season?
Ok, they look tempting ,
That bright red colour
Enticing to bite,
But there’s the rub
Where’s the juice, the flavour?
nothing to run down your chin, when you take a bite
So disappointing like biting into an apple no flavour so hard they crunch
And if you leave them out to soften
They go from hard to mouldy
No where in between,
Why didn’t I wait for the real thing
TIL the right time and season
When the real strawberries are great?
The smell, the taste is heavenly
soft and juicy, dribbling down your chin
I’ll just have do with sugar on my corn flakes til strawberry season comes round,
Once tasted there’s no substitute
Forced to ripen out of season
Just doesn’t work
There are reasons for seasons
They may look like the real thing but,
Taste and see that the Lord is good
so psalm 34:8 says
 
Strawberries are my favorite!
My grandparents used to grow & sell them.
They are amazing when you eat them as you pick them... nice & ripe to perfection... red plump, juicy, sweet, and warm from the sun. Nothing else like them!

Out of season.... well, that's what jelly, and jams are for :)
Some very kind person bought me some strawberries I must admit out of season fresh strawberries just don’t do it for me jams etc are a no, no for my diabetic diet roll on June 🍓🍓🍓
