I am sitting here trying to figure out if I am wrong or if a recipe is written badly.  I am making a dessert on Saturday for Father's Day and one of the ingredients is listed as: "6 cups fresh strawberries, sliced".  Now, normally I would read that as: measure 6 cups of whole strawberries, then slice them.  But if you would be so kind as to look at the recipe online, you'll see it has a LOT strawberries.  So, I can't decide.  Does that look to you like 6 cups of sliced strawberries or 6 cups of whole strawberries, sliced???  Thank you so much for putting up with me.  🤔

I read 6 cups whole strawberries which are then sliced.

 

But that's a LOT of berries. The photo looks more like 6 cups of sliced strawberries.

 

I also wonder from looking at the photo if the thing is actually slicable without falling apart. Maybe if the slices are really thick...

 

And I think I'd macerate the berries first
