Exotic Pony Dishes

Spike and I went to the bazaar to shop for strawberries to make jam. While we were there we met a few yaks shopping for exotic pony crops and wares. They were looking at strawberries too and wondering what to do with them. I told them we were planning on making jam but that they could just as easily make strawberry syrup and add that to other dishes. The strawberry stand keeper suggested strawberry shortcake and recited a recipe for them. They said that gave them ideas for a yak version and bought a few flats.

We bought our own flat of strawberries and wandered around a bit. Another pony had imported crystal berries from the Crystal Empire. We bought a couple of baskets of those.

Strawberry shortcake hadn't been in our plans, but Spike and I found a cow selling whipping cream, and... So when we got home, we made strawberry jam, crystal berry jam and strawberry shortcake. Starlight Glimmer helped us make, and eat, the shortcake. We finished it off while it was still warm.
