Yes, it's often strawb'ry here too - complete with the NZ-standard hemidemisemischwa where the apostrophe is. Musick's straw-brie is also common here.

Besides, berry, beary, and bury are exact homophones in my dialect anyway.
Well, askually, I think Elizabeth's offerings of furry/burry and hairy/bairy are closer to the pronunciations I had in mind. Thanks Elizabeth...and a belated welcome! :)

Musick asks "Why would anyone make straw-flavored cheese?"
There is an Italian cow's milk cheese made in the Piedmont in Italy called paglierino or formaggio della paglia which is aged in straw.

It's the only fruit with its seeds on the outside - so I am told. I can't think of another.
But whatever- they are delicious!

That would be the fig, he answered monoeciously.

"You are about as much fun as a hermaphrodite," he replied, not knowing whether that meant a very little or a very lot.

I'd pronounce it as FRAZE (spelled Fraise)  Actually WO'N, I've only ever heard it pronounced as straw-bairy.
