What invention? Freezing berries so they can be stored? Newsflash - the whole world does this.

No, the normal world eats fresh berries. Freezing them is cruel enough, but then microwaving that seems like the worst thing you can possibly do to a berry. I'm just curious, what precisely do you think you're eating after that? Cause it's sure not berries.

But then again, may be that's natural in a nation that has only ever tasted plastic tomatoes.

Agreed. But they are available fresh in the grocery store in the US. I don't buy them at all. Because the 'fresh' ones available around here are beautiful perfectly-formed bitter, green-tasting junk. Suitable for interior decorating but certainly not for eating. I grew up with berries growing wild in our windbreak. They were marvelous. Astonishingly tasty. Nothing in the store even resembles that.
