Honestly, that sounds like it would be tasty. I love strawberries, and I love geometric gelatinous shapes.

    This person has made a cubed Fruit Roll-Up. A Fruit Cube-Up if you will.

    So when I make strawberry cake or strawberry cheesecake I take like a pound of strawberries and cook it down into a thick paste that then is folded into the batter.

    I can't tell if OP made cubes out of that paste, which is already bitingly sour from the natural acids in strawberries being so concentrated, or just made jello with strawberry mush and lime juice.

    They don't gelatine themselves though.

    On a somewhat related note, don't make strawberry milkshake with real strawberries.

    Holy fuck sour and milk did not make for a good combination. I'll stick with banana.

    Yup, too much acid will curdle your milk. That's why you never hear about orange milkshakes.

    This is going to come off as a way more devastating insult than I mean for it to be (especially since that actually looks kinda good), but you should know you eat like a Starfield NPC

    I think you kinda reinvented something they already do in the middle east. I have no idea what the name is but they sometimes sell something similar but i think thats made with a hot press and the flesh of the fruit.

    boxes of strawberries

    What?

    Americans typically call clamshell containers a box, which is the predominate way berries are sold in grocery stores.

    Fresher and farmstand berries often come in cardboard baskets. The boxes those baskets usually come in are usually called and sold as 'flats'.

    I'm American and I've never heard of it called a "box," but rather a "container" or "pack." Those plastic clamshell containers just aren't sturdy enough to be a "box."

    Maybe its a west coast thing. Although my spouse conveniently went out to buy berries from a stand, and referred to them as 'thingies' of strawberries, so maybe I'm just off on that. Colloquialisms and other such nomenclature isn't as regional as they used to be I think.

    I'm from the west coast as well (born and raised in WA, currently live in Utah). Maybe it's regional? If someone said "box of strawberries," my thoughts go to those "you pick" places where you fill up an open-top cardboard box of strawberries, or those fruit stands that sell those same cardboard boxes of strawberries. I've never called the plastic clamshell containers a "box" though.

    But yeah, I'd probably understand you given context, but it's not how I'd refer to them.

    Words can be pretty regional, so maybe it's a Cali thing. Idk, my family in Cali are immigrants who speak a different language, so I don't think I've ever heard to them refer to the container of strawberries in English.

    I was raised my a combo of east coast and mid west, but I'm PNW as well. It took me until my late twenties for anyone to call me out on 'irregardless' out here since that's just what grandpa said to me.

    I gotta ask around now. I had a few roommates that referred to them as a box that may be overrepresenting.
