Fiue hundreth points of good husbandry. London: 1573. ਀ഊBesides the native wild strawberry, there were a number of varieties available for transplanting and experimentation in kitchen gardens. By the sixteenth century botanists were describing in detail and working with a white strawberry, (F. sylvestris alba), which was common to the mountains near Baden Switzerland and an everbearing strawberry, (F. sylvestris semperflorens), which flowered and fruited in the Alps throughout the growing season. This season often lasted from late spring into November. Also the Alps were the home of the wood strawberry (F. silvestris), which yielded small fruits with an intense taste; there was also a type called a musk strawberry (F. moschata), which was native to northern Europe and Siberia. Cultivation of it began in the sixteenth century. The work with these varieties was complicated by the fact that some of these varieties do not produce runners or adapt readily to domestication. Many also could not be crossed to produce hybrids. The picture soon grew even more complicated. Soon after 1600, the Virginia strawberry (F. virginiana) of North America was imported into Europe. Descriptions of these Virginian berries growing wild include passages such as: ". . . great fields and woods abounding with Strawberies much fairer and more sweete then ours, . . . " ਀ ഊHamor, Ralph. A true discourse of the present estate of Virginia and the successe of the affaires there till the 18 of Iune. 1614. published 1615. ਀ഊThis strawberry was crossed with native European berries with some measured success. Early in eighteenth century, newly arrived Chilean strawberry plants (F. chiloensis), native to the Pacific beaches of North and South America were introduced. These Chilean imports were then crossed with the Virginia strawberry (F. virginiana) that had been growing in Europe for the past century. This all New World American hybrid proved superior in flavor and size and was then adopted all over Europe. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries numerous improved strawberry cultivars were developed that offered even better disease resistance and were better adapted to various soil types and climatic conditions. Modern strawberries (Fragaria X ananassa) are the result of this work. For those that would like to experiment with a combination of modern local berries and medieval or Elizabethan methods, here are some recipes: ਀ഊStrawberye ਀䌀砀砀椀椀樀 ⴀ 匀琀爀愀眀戀攀爀礀攀⸀ 吀愀欀攀 匀琀爀愀眀戀攀爀礀猀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 眀愀礀猀猀栀攀 栀攀洀 椀渀 琀礀洀攀 漀昀 琀栀攀爀攀 椀渀 最漀搀攀 爀攀搀 眀礀渀攀㬀 琀栀愀渀 猀琀爀愀礀渀攀 琀栀漀爀眀攀 愀 挀氀漀琀栀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 搀漀 栀攀洀 椀渀 愀 瀀漀琀琀攀 眀椀琀栀 最漀搀攀 䄀氀洀愀甀渀搀攀 洀礀氀欀攀Ⰰ 愀ⴀ氀愀礀 椀琀 眀椀琀栀 䄀洀礀渀搀漀甀渀 漀琀栀攀爀 眀椀琀栀 琀栀攀 昀氀漀眀爀攀 漀昀 刀礀猀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 洀愀欀攀 椀琀 挀栀愀爀最攀愀甀渀琀 愀渀搀 氀愀琀 椀琀 戀漀礀氀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀  搀漀 琀栀攀爀ⴀ椀渀 刀漀礀猀漀渀礀猀 漀昀 挀漀爀愀甀渀挀攀Ⰰ 匀愀昀爀漀甀渀Ⰰ 倀攀瀀椀爀Ⰰ 匀甀最爀攀 最爀攀琀攀 瀀氀攀渀琀攀Ⰰ 瀀漀甀搀攀爀 䜀礀渀最攀爀攀Ⰰ 䌀愀渀攀氀Ⰰ 䜀愀氀礀渀最愀氀攀㬀 瀀漀礀渀琀攀 椀琀 眀椀琀栀 嘀礀渀攀最爀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 愀 氀礀琀椀氀 眀栀礀琀攀 最爀攀挀攀 瀀甀琀 琀栀攀爀ⴀ琀漀㬀 挀漀氀漀甀爀攀 椀琀 眀椀琀栀 䄀氀欀攀渀愀搀攀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 搀爀漀瀀瀀攀 椀琀 愀ⴀ戀漀眀琀攀Ⰰ 瀀氀愀渀琀攀 椀琀 眀椀琀栀 琀栀攀 最爀愀礀渀礀猀 漀昀 倀漀洀攀ⴀ最愀爀渀愀搀Ⰰ 愀渀搀 琀栀愀渀 猀攀爀甀攀 椀琀 昀漀爀琀栀⸀  ഊ ਀吀眀漀 䘀椀昀琀攀攀渀琀栀ⴀ䌀攀渀琀甀爀礀 䌀漀漀欀攀爀礀ⴀ䈀漀漀欀猀⸀ 䔀搀椀琀攀搀 戀礀 吀栀漀洀愀猀 䄀甀猀琀椀渀⸀ ⠀䔀渀最氀愀渀搀Ⰰ ㄀㐀㌀　⤀ ഊ ਀吀漀 洀愀欀攀 愀 琀愀爀琀攀 漀昀 猀琀爀愀眀戀攀爀礀攀猀 ഊTo make a tarte of strawberyes.

Delightes for Ladies. 1609. ਀ഊOne favorite method of eating strawberries today is to simply eat the fresh berries with cream or with sugar and cream. Thomas Dawson actually warns "beware of Cow cream and of Strawberies," but other authors seem to endorse the practice. The combination is mentioned in various texts, including Thomas Hill's famous gardening treatise where his advice reads: ਀ഊThe Berries in the Sommer tyme, eaten wyth Creame and Sugar, is accompted a greate refreshing to men, but more commended, beyng eaten wyth Wine and Sugar, for on suche wise, these maruellouslye coole and moisten Chollericke stomackes or suche beyng of a Cholericke complexion. ਀ഊ Hill, Thomas and Henry Dethick. The Gardeners Labyrinth. 1577 ਀ ഊIn poetry and art the strawberry was seen as that perfect fruit that could represent the Virgin. The flowers and red fruit represented both the blood of martyrdom and the white of purity. The three-fold leaves or trefoil of leaves represented the trinity. Of course the painter Hieronymus Bosch (1453?-1516) turned that imagery upside down. In his The Garden of Earthly Delights, Bosch depicts nude people of both sexes cavorting with giant strawberries. ਀ഊ In poetry, Spencer's Fairie Queene, contains a passage that reflects upon gathering wild strawberries in the woods: ਀ഊOne day as they all three together went ਀ 吀漀 琀栀攀 最爀攀攀渀攀 眀漀漀搀Ⰰ 琀漀 最愀琀栀攀爀 猀琀爀愀眀戀攀爀椀攀猀Ⰰ ഊ There chaunst to them a dangerous accident; ਀䘀愀椀爀椀攀 儀甀攀攀渀攀Ⰰ 戀漀漀欀 瘀椀⸀ 挀愀渀琀漀 砀⸀ 猀琀愀渀稀愀 ㌀㐀 ഊ ਀䘀漀漀搀眀椀猀攀Ⰰ 匀椀爀 倀栀椀氀椀瀀瀀攀 匀椀搀渀攀礀 搀攀猀挀爀椀戀攀猀 愀 洀椀氀欀ⴀ眀栀椀琀攀 栀漀爀猀攀 愀猀 栀愀瘀椀渀最 猀挀愀琀琀攀爀攀搀 爀攀搀 洀愀爀欀猀  ∀愀猀 眀栀攀渀 愀 昀攀眀 猀琀爀愀眀戀攀爀椀攀猀 愀爀攀 猀挀愀琀琀攀爀攀搀 椀渀琀漀 愀 搀椀猀栀 漀昀 挀爀攀愀洀攀⸀∀ 嬀吀栀攀 䌀漀甀渀琀攀猀猀攀 漀昀 倀攀洀戀爀漀欀攀猀 䄀爀挀愀搀椀愀Ⰰ 眀爀椀琀琀攀渀 戀礀 匀椀爀 倀栀椀氀椀瀀瀀攀 匀椀搀渀攀椀⸀ ㄀㔀㤀　崀  䄀最愀椀渀 椀琀✀猀 洀漀爀攀 猀甀瀀瀀漀爀琀 昀漀爀 琀栀攀 攀愀琀椀渀最 漀昀 猀琀爀愀眀戀攀爀爀椀攀猀 眀椀琀栀 挀爀攀愀洀⸀ 䄀渀漀琀栀攀爀 瀀漀攀琀椀挀 瀀愀猀猀愀最攀 昀爀漀洀 琀栀攀 ㄀㔀㤀　✀猀 琀栀愀琀 猀瀀攀愀欀猀 漀昀 猀琀爀愀眀戀攀爀爀椀攀猀 愀渀搀 挀爀攀愀洀㨀 ഊ ਀伀爀 眀椀氀琀 琀栀漀甀 搀爀椀渀欀攀 愀 挀甀瀀 漀昀 渀攀眀ⴀ洀愀搀攀 圀椀渀攀 ഊFroathing at top, mixt with a dish of Creame; ਀䄀渀搀 匀琀爀愀眀ⴀ戀攀爀爀椀攀猀Ⰰ 漀爀 䈀椀氀ⴀ戀攀爀爀椀攀猀 椀渀 琀栀攀椀爀 瀀爀椀洀攀Ⰰ ഊBath'd in a melting Sugar-Candie streame: ਀ ഊBarnfield, Richard.

The source is not any of the cookery books or herbals or even dietaries. It appears in the classic Izaak Walton work on angling. ਀ഊThe text there reads: ". . . we may say of angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, 'Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did!'" The saying is attributed to Dr. Boteler and found in The Compleat Angler by Izaak ਀ഊWalton and Charles Cotton. 1655. 5th edition. 1676. ਀ഊIt can only be repeated that no better berry existed then or now. ਀ഊSelect Sources: ਀ ഊA Book of Cookrye.
