I heard many stories about strawberries in Austria. I heard that they are not good, that they don’t have any taste, that they are just big and empty inside, etc. etc.

Who is saying these things?!… And why?! Can I try them too?

The first thing to mention here is that the better strawberries are the ones that you pick yourself, not the one that you find in Billa, Merkur, Hofer, Zielpunkt, etc. etc. Second thing to mention here, is that here in Austria is something that I have not met in other places, the so called „Strawberry land”, where you go and pick up your strawberries, how many do you want and then come back and pay. Cool, right? There is also one in Vienna, but most of them are outside of the city. I know a few in Neuer Oesterreich.

Anyway, with this occasion, I had the chance to taste the strawberries the Vienna „creats”. Conclusion? Good, but you can do it better.
