    I think there is some truth to this. Back when I was a child, everything seemed brighter, tastier, and more intense.

    Even as an adult both of them still taste delicious to me.

      I remember eating strawberries as a child, which was a short season. It seemed to me that they tasted so much sweeter than the ones we buy now. I really should go to the places where we can pick our own right off the vine :)

    Children and birds enjoy what is available and don't complain . . . well, birds don't, anyway. 😉

    I don't know what kind of answer a bird would give, but I know a child's answer will be more interesting than an adults would be.

    Modern fruit is loaded with sugar...I am not a fan, but my husband loves fruit dearly. I said he loves sugar.

      Interesting Angie, and like your husband I love fruit but I also count calories. L
      OL! Mine loves to dip his strawberries in sugar which is what my father used to do also.

    There is some truth to that. We have wild strawberries in the backyard, so add chipmunks to the list!

    A child's answer may surprise us they are undeniably honest about food. Of my own three grands two would say they love them and one would not. My wren friends would surely love both. Darling rendition Denise.

    a lovely grahpics, the cherries and berries look like I could pick a few for myself. I love all fruit but do have to admit there are one or 2 I don't eat. trying to think what I would say if someone ask me how they taste... just ate a piece of over ripe left it to long on the counter pineapple and it taste like pineapple wine. ha ha
