Supermarket stawberries are always piss poor, unless you go organic. It urks me seeing these disgusting looking genetically modified red things in December. Ugh.
But yeah... fruit shops tend to have pretty nice ones, at least around here. And of course organic ones are always the best. :yeah:
Wimbledon strawberries are very good. I spent like £40 on them last year.
My Dad has a weird allergy to strawberries, he can only eat English ones :lol: Can't be Scottish, Welsh or Irish (ie: can't be British, has to be English specifically) or any other country's strawberries. He comes out in a massive rash if he eats non-English ones and we've tried him in blind testing where he didn't know where each strawberry was from and yet the rash only appeared for "foreign" strawberries Must be something special in the English strawberries!
Oh and for the best strawberries, you should grow them yourselves! Likewise for the best raspberries too!
Yes but it's only because people eat this in Wimbly ..
In Roland-Garros everybody eat Ice-creams and drink coffee, but there's no connexion .. But only Brits think this ..
The middle European summer started too late to guarantee a good strawberry summer. All we have here in Germany for example are either weird little ones with no taste or imported ones from Spain with no taste.
I´ve once sold strawberries from a local farm in a little stall on the sidewalk. I was allowed to eat as much as I wanted...BEST. JOB. EVER! :lol:
go pick them yourself somewhere, more fun and they taste better. By the time they end up in supermarkets they've been transported all over the country and are old.
Not true. I have eaten strawberries in a wide variety of places and some of the best ones (if not the best ones) I've tasted are still the ones grown in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, about 20 minutes from my house, which are rather famous in the U.S. Most of them are quite large.
Most of the strawberries sold in supermarkets in the UK are the El Santa variety. They are not particularly good from a taste perspective but the supermarkets like them becasue they look nice and keep well. The strawberry season has only just about started in the UK. Any that you eat, unless imported, will be grown in polytunnels and are not as nice as the ones grown outside. See this article and you won't eat an out of season strawberry again!

Believe it or not, I’ve got an allergy to only Wimbledon strawberries. I come out in a nasty, all-over rash - not when eating them, but when paying for them
