Which is the most summery-est of all summery fruits and berries? (Pause to think ... ) Maybe the blackberry? It has a mysterious hue and tastes like summer ...
Or, does the strawberry taste more like summer? Or peach?
Maybe only the berry and fruit that one has the most pleasant summer memories associated with taste the most summer-y ... :-)
Anyone from the part of Sweden where I grew up would probably vote for the strawberry. Why? Because there are many strawberry farmers in that area! In face, my mom and dad sent me to a strawberry farm to pich strawberries over the summer when I was only thirteen ... Why? Because that is what mom and dad did when they were that age!
But, what flavor do I vote for no ... when I have lived in the South long enough to prefer Southern flavors? Well, I like my strawberries as a shortcake and my peaches ripe, juicy or simply grilled served with ice cream ... or in a cobbler of course! Still served with vanilla ice cream ...
