Hi Jack,

On the subject of strawberries and other fruit; at Basel market (at least on Saturdays) there is a wonderful stall that sets up at the left side of the square (if your back is to the Rathaus).

In the autumn and winter they bring apples and pears and summer they bring soft fruits. They recently had a selection of three strawberry varieties - Polka, Sonata and Symphony. We bought a punnet of Sonata which are extremely juicy - our 14 month-old's clothes were covered in red after he consumed half of them.

The same stall has a great selection of raspberries and cherries.

Cheers,
Nick
