Move over Key Lime Pie, here comes the SSC

We departed the Burgess's Sat morning for the Corps of Engineers campground at the W P Franklin Locks near Ft Myers. We detoured on the way south to visit the Strawberry capital of Florida, Plant City. Plant City has the ideal temp and soil to grow strawberries. As we approached the town we observed the strawberry pickers in the fields.
A must stop in Plant City is the Parksdale Market. Famous for Strawberry Short Cake and Strawberry milkshakes.








Oh my gosh, these strawberry short cakes weigh about 2 pounds each




Although the Key Lime Pie is great it doesn't hold a candle to this dish. Nita could only eat half of hers so I had to sacrifice and finish hers.




This is the strawberry milkshake, you could not drink it with a straw as the berries jammed the straw. It had to be 50% berries, OMG, another hit. Not sure about Nita but I was in pain as I left. As we were leaving I decided to go back and ordered 2 more milkshakes to put in the freezer.




Am hooked now, Plant City will be the first stop when we head back north.
