    INGLÉS PARA NEGOCIAR: "CHERRY PICKING"

    This is an idiom that has been used repeatedly during the Brexit negotiations and describes a situation where one side (or both) want to take the best elements available to them but do not want any of the negative elements. For example: "The UK is not allowed to do any cherry picking during this process". 

    I have no idea why we use the idea of a cherry (cereza). It could have been a blackberry or strawberry for example!!!

    Anyway, if anybody knows a good reason for the use of cherries in this case, please add it in the comments below!  

    Hope that helps!

    Maybe because it is common to select the good cherries from the bad ones more often than with those other fruits you mentioned.

    In Spanish we say "la guinda de la torta" (the cake's cherry) pointing out to the very best of something or the final touch to make something specia (for good or bad).
