Strawberry sales on the rise as Irishmen unveil romantic side

With Valentine’s Day here, Irish romantics are not using the weather as an excuse not to spend money on their loved ones.

Nothing signifies romantic for an Irish man quite like the humble strawberry — and it’s certainly being reflected in the sales.
