Fresh strawberry sauce with your chicken anyone?!

[Accy cyclist]

There's a recipe here for strawberry sauce. It suggests putting it on sweet things. There's no mention of chicken or similar.

This one makes it sound quite appealing:-

Chips and mushy peas as well?

Can't see it being much different to a 'sweet 'n' sour' sauce although I personally prefer pineapple in that.

That's what I was thinking along lines of.

Chinese people tend to eat chicken with the skin on so it makes the meat a little fatty for UK tastes. The sweet sauces go really nicely with the oily, fattiness of the meat

What you don't want to do is have some super-lean chicken fillet with the strawberry sauce, that would be rubbish

The French for gooseberry is groseilles à maquereau. So, mackerel with mackerel currants....

Don't forget, the dish in the op was from an establishment in Scotland.
Maybe the process of deep frying the chicken & strawberry transforms it completely?

I once had chicken with chocolate sauce in Spain, quite by accident. Ordered it from the menu after recognising chicken. It wasn't the sweet, milky chocolate like Cadburys, more of a bitter gravy-like sauce. A quick Google tells me it was a chicken mole sauce: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=chicken+mole+sauce

'Mole' just means 'sauce' - it's a generic word in Mexican cookery like gravy is in English (so 'guacamole' is 'avocado sauce').

What you had is properly known as 'mole poblano', which I think means something like 'villager's sauce'.

I'm proud of CC. It took 26 posts about a food in Scotland before someone bought up the tired old trope about deep frying everything in Scotland.

Is this a new record of restraint?

I don't think we English fear new things, we are just fearful of wasting it if we don't like it!

So you are not afraid ... but you are fearful. Hmm.

I served up strawberries with black pepper and balsamic last weekend.
It was well received but then I am a ponce, @ianrauk

That combo is delish with bruusel sprouts, cooked in a frying pan-don't overcook the strawberrys.
