We have just bought some grapes, having been intrigued by seeing them labelled as "strawberry grapes". They are light red and literally have the flavour of strawberries. If I hadn't seen them, had been asked to close my eyes, open my mouth, and had to eat one, I could have been tricked into thinking this was a new kind of fruit I'd never come across before.

Has anybody seen/tasted them, and know what variety they are, and whether they could possibly be grown in this country? they were bought from a fruit & veg market stall, and the stallholder had no further information on them.
