Oh yum- you've got me begging for a bowl of strawberries with a dollow of extra-fatty cream from Malta ;)
I think the reduction in fruit varieties available to shoppers is so very sad- these old varieties are so full of flavour and offer so so much more than the over-bred homogenised common varieties the supermarkets stock these days.
Fabulous post.

Hello Darling, thanks so much for your reply.
From February on there will be the first strawberries on Malta again - you are invited...
In the next parts of the story, I will tell you something about the tasty varieties and why they are not available everywhere.
And I still have to squeeze out our Maltese friends which varieties are especially worth mentioning here in Malta.
Ooh I look forward to the next part- and thanks for the invite :) My dad's obsessed with old apple varieties so I'll have to point him at your other posts - he'd love to check them out! E x
This sounds very interesting and I will write part 3 very soon...
