had to drag this lot off some internet site;
Strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the outside.
The average strawberry has 200 seeds.
In parts of Bavaria, country folk still practice the annual rite each spring of tying small baskets of wild strawberries to the horns of their cattle as an offering to elves. They believe that the elves, are passionately fond of strawberries, will help to produce healthy calves and an abundance of milk in return.

I call bullcrap on this one. A fruit is defined as being the swollen ovary of a flower. Ergo: a strawberry is not a fruit, rather the seeds on the outside are fruits called achenes with contain the true seeds inside.
Similarly, the fruit of an apple is actually the woody core inside, the flesh we eat is not part of the fruit itself, being derived from the floral tube.
