Strasberry, anybody?

I came across some of these little beauties in the supermarket today:

They are strasberries. The name and the appearance are misleading. They are not a hybrid between strawberries and raspberries. Genetically they are strawberries. They are sharper than ordinary strawberries, but not acid. They taste fragrant, but don't really smell it. They are softer than the regular ones, so they just melt away from the stalks and dissolve in your mouth, no biting or chewing necessary.

All in all a pleasant experience that I will repeat if I ever find them again.
