Botanists (see OED) still argue about the 'straw' in strawberry. "One explanation refers the first element to straw....describing the appearance of the achenes scattered over the surface of the strawberry" (our modern hybrid and modified berries have lost most of this). Another view is that it "designates the runners."

No, doesn't matter. Just be sure to strenk the berries with brown sugar.
I've got to stop looking up words in the OED. I might start using them in conversation and get carried away to the funny farm (PC, Home for the mentally something or other).
