Fresh strawberry sauce with your chicken anyone?!

[User33236]

Just been having a quick look round the various takeaway places near my new home and came across a Chinese takeaway doing this:-

Anyone ever tried such a thing?!

No thanks

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

So chicken with apricot is ok (yup, if you don't know, it's lovely), but not strawberry?

I'd try it before laughing at it.

<sigh> The English fear of unfamiliar flavours is why Chinese food is generally terrible here.\\

EDIT: OOPS! British!!
sorry scotland.

Maybe it's a special for the duration of Wimbledon?

I think you'll find you were right the first time.

Thankfully being Scottish living in Scotland I don't have that fear and it's on my list of things to try. I suspect as Shaun found with his chicken in chocolate sauce, it'll be somewhat different to what it appears to be. Genuinely curious is anyone has had it and can confirm.

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

I'm one of those folk that have a compulsion to order anything on a menu I haven't tried before. So far I've eaten everything I have been served up much to Mrs SG's horror.

You've got to do it then. Get it ordered and come back and describe it to us ... or

I was so busy worrying about offending the Scots that I failed to notice that while I had never seen this dish in England, it was available in Scotland... so yeah, now I need to apologise again to the Scots for thinking they had English taste buds.

Thanks @Slick and @User33236 for the polite correction.

And unless you find it disgusting, try it at least twice. Enjoying something that is familiar is ok, but acquired tastes open whole new vistas of pleasure.

Really popular in Mexico. One of their staple dishes.
