These small wild strawberries look a bit unusual, but when properly ripe,
they taste wonderful.
The perfume does have a whiff of pinapple, so has the flavour.

Thanks, I never heard of them. Wonder if they are in the food markets
anywhere.

These strawberries won't make it to food markets, you need to pick a lot of
them to fill a punnet and, as is the custom with retail outlets, they
wouldn't be ripe when picked, so have no flavour.
The usual wild strawberry, is tiny + red and full of flavour, but not
available commercially.
I have just sown some more alpine strawberries, which are slightly bigger
than the wild, so hopefully will have some next year.
I grow them in raised beds, easier to pick :-)
The Pineapple strawberry is also classified as 'Alpine' as it is a tiny bit
bigger than the true wild strawberry.

You could grow them in pots on your roof :-)
