Now Is It April 1st, Fools Day?

or am I just being paranoid about being caught out? welcome to pineberries, looking like strawberries they have the taste of pineapples, they will allegedly be on sale at Waitrose in the UK for 5 weeks, (great plug for Waitrose if it is a spoof!) a 125g punnet will cost £2.99 until April 13 and then sell for £3.99, Waitrose fruit buyer Nicki Baggott said: 'Pineberries offer our customers the chance to add a new fruit into their diet, and the berry's bright appearance can add an unusual decoration to sweet dishes, as the summer unfolds we won't be surprised to hear that our customers are inviting their friends over for pineberry pavlovas or punch, or serving them up with yogurt for a lighter alternative,' all commercially grown strawberries originate from an 18th century European cross between wild varieties from North and South America which achieved the sought-after combination of sweet taste and large, juicy berries, Diana and myself have strawberries 2 or 3 times a week whilst watching TV, but is it all fools day today, that is the question! next some one will say they are growing sweet huckleberries!
