Title: Re: [NAFEX] Strazzberry - raspberry flavored strawberry

I'm always suspicious of such things, especially since Gurney's is in new hands these days.  It may be that it's an ordinary strawberry that produces the unusual flavor in rare circumstances.  Has anyone else seen the same thing offered elsewhere?
