We adore strawberries! American flavors may differ from English ones, but the English love them.
Queen Victoria's favorite cake and other English delicacies use these fruits.
Fresh strawberry season changes English desserts' reputation. They love Eton Mess and Victoria Sponge, Queen Victoria's favorite cake, in the islands.
