How many strawberries can you eat in 30 minutes?
No, this is not a trivia contest. In Japan, that's how strawberry picking works. You pay about $12 to enter a greenhouse and eat strawberries for 30 minutes and you're not allowed to pick any to take home. So, eat up and get your fill!
I think Sydney ate at least 30. It would've been more if she wasn't so easily distracted by the mess on her hands, the bumble bees in the corner (note her boots), her friends, etc. That and the fact that she lost several minutes in her panic to get out of the greenhouse door as soon as we entered. (Maybe she's seen Frosty the Snowman one too many times.)

Anyway, once she realized there were rows and rows of strawberries for the plucking, she began popping them one after the other--stems and all! I guess our girl really likes her green veggies. You're even given a tray with a white sugary dipping sauce (maybe sweetened condensed milk), but being the "purist" that she is, Sydney wanted none of this. Fine, more for me!
Till she took the tray full of strawberries away from me to be like her friend, Sydney.
But the strawberries were pure sweetness alone and not at all tart or acidic. They were natural and divine. We had such a great time with our playgroup friends that we'll be back. Good thing they have many greenhouses full of strawberries.
