Strawberrys. How do you eat them?

Chopped up and then buried under a pile of very thick whipped cream - lovely!

As fruit, off the stalk. No added sugar or cream. I might try them with black pepper. They're good with mint but I rarely seem to have fresh mint at the same time as strawberries.

With Carnation cream 😍

 

[Red17]

Either straight from the plant when still warm from the sun, or with Greek yogurt and honey for breakfast

Just heard a UK grower who suggested trying them with black pepper
Or
As part of a savoury salad.
I am old school and enjoy them......
Off the stalk
Or With fresh cream
Or....today.....with Mango, sliced apple and Greek yoghurt.

Yes nice in a salad with black pepper

I wonder who was the 1st person to think of doing that?

I read in in a magazine along with couscous and tinned mango now that is lovely on a hot day with a nice salad, cut said mango in to small chunks

I love strawberries. Either chop the tops off and cut them in half/quarters depending on the size. Sometimes as they are, or sometimes with dairy free cream. Even better with cream and mirangue (if that's how you spell it).

I've never tried them with pepper and don't really want to

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Much prefer raspberries and blueberries, personally, but anyway, Strawberries with pepper? No, no, no!*


* - I can't stand pepper anyway!

Yesterday I did a simple fruit salad of Honey Mango* and Strawberry. No additions needed!

Strwbs are wonderful macerated for an hour or few with a drizzle of really good thick Balsamic vinegar and finished with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. And even a spritz of Maldon sea salt for a crunchy high note.

* Honey mango - it is Mango Season! Fresh mangos imported from India and Pakistan - so very different and so much nicer than normal UK supermarket mangos. £12 for a box of 6 in local sub-continent food shops.

Takes me back to when my sister had an exchange German lass stay with us. Just nearby, there was a farm which did PYO strawberries. I think they eat more than they actually bagged. Anyway, shortly after they got home, the German girl came out in red blotches. Turns out she was allergic to strawberries, poor thing.

That is basically what Eton Mess is (meringue BTW), with the meringue broken into fairly small pieces.

I think they eat more than they actually bagged.

Our local PYO often found empty cream containers in the field, along with disposable dishes & spoons, it got so bad that he stopped allowing people into the fields & would just sell punnets from a stall.

I don’t, mildly allergic. I might have a couple if on a dessert but I always regret it!
Used to eat off the stalk or with cream or vanilla ice cream. Eton Mess another option if wanting a proper dessert

Same.. I usually eat them straight off the stalk with nothing else other than a sense of trepidation and impending doom..

Never turn my nose up to Eton Mess though.

Sadly it seems I'm allergic to all the fun / flavoursome fruits; leaving only the bland tasteless stuff. Like bloody pears 👎
