[@ianstiehl1994]

So Rhett and Link probably won't see this, but for anyone else that has tried a small red fruit they thought was a strawberry in their yard--you're half right. What you (and Rhett send Link) probably ate was Potentilla Indica, also known as mock strawberry or Indian Strawberry. And it tastes like cardboard. Edible! But bland. Real wild strawberries are absolutely delightful. They are incredibly sweet and flavorful--like you took store bought strawberries, dipped them in sugar, and gave them a more herbacious flavor. In my neck of the woods, real wild strawberries don't usually grow near clover. It likes somewhat drier, scraggler soils. (I often find them in construction lots in suburban neighborhoods.) And ths very tips of the older leaves are often slightly Orangish red. Tis a seriously S-tier wild edible

[@Dodl1]

Yes I do know both, thank you for that comment! Real wild strawberries are fricking awesome! Detto with wild blackberries and blueberries. My gosh that makes a difference to the big varieties!

Both grew around the cliffs where I used to live, and wild blackberries, a ton of plum trees. I accidentaly planted a banana passion fruit vine that now grows all the way up a 70 foot tree. In spring/summer you could find a snack pretty much anywhere in town

My own consensus has been that larger fruits tend to taste more watery, thus diluting the flavor a little. Hence why I think the smaller ones they had today taste better!

[@Future_Phoenix]

Smaller grapes are definitely better, and I like how the tiny green ones can be sour sometimes.

My theory is that larger fruit is usually more water ripened than sun ripened, making it more bland than the smaller fruit :) We have so much wild fruit here!
