    Strawberries and strawberries where ever they come from. I actually think the Cornish and USA strawberries are better than British ones. The british ones tend to go off quicker and don't have as much flavour.

    ever wonder why that is? i don't think it's because they have a better quality of sunshine ;) i've just [STRIKE]nabbed[/STRIKE] been given a load from my mums garden, free ones are best :D

    Cornwall IS part of Britain as a home nation, but NOT part of England.
    Cornwall is the remnant of the former "West Wales" region of south west Britain. Its history is highly idiosyncratic with various survivals, such as a Celtic language surviving into the early modern period (which was revived in the twentieth century) giving it a distinct identity. Cornish nationalists and others consider that Cornwall is legally entitled to greater autonomy.
    They consider that the United Kingdom is not a homogeneous nation-state, but is instead composed of several Home Nations. Cornish nationalists who assert that Cornwall is, or ought to be, separate from England, do not necessarily mean to advocate separation from the United Kingdom, but merely Cornwall's recognition as a fifth "home nation".

    Cornwall has it's own flag and own language and therefore considered by many as the 5th Nation of the United Kingdom.

    ok - I concede that Cornish nationalists consider that Cornwall should be an autonomous nation of it's own standing :) .......but the OP stated British strawberries, not English :p
