    Better when they are in season though.

    Better when you go pick them up in the garden... my grandad use to have meters of strawberries... spend hours looking for some and eating them :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Wild strawberries are the best. So yummeh!
    My grandad used to grow wild strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, black currants and gooseberries. Loads of vegetables aswell.
    Me and my bro used to get sent out to pick raspberries :)

    i stole some quality fruit salad yesterday and it was full of strawberries, gawd they were awesome.

    I love the taste of strawberries but I hate the texture of them so I cant eat strawberries :(
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I love them as long as theyre big and juicy and sweet. i hate it when you get crappy out of season greenhouse grown strawberries that have no taste. Theyre sooo disappointing.

    I used to go strawberry picking with my mum and sister after school when we were younger and one particular day I ate a few too many in the field (sorry strawberry farmer) and then ate so many at home that I was sick. I still can't resist them though!

    :yum: I love strawberries.

    I couldn't eat any at the minute though. I'm still feeling sick and was sick when I woke up this morning :(

    Aparently if you put pepper on them it brings out the flavour. :D

    I love strawberries but they make my tongue hurt. If I eat too many of them, I get big bumps swelling up on my tongue. I thought they did that to everybody until last year when I mentioned in conversation with someone, "you know how strawberries make your tongue sting?" and realised they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

    I considered stopping eating them in case that's a sign I'm going to drop down dead from anaphylactic shock one day after eating them...but then decided against it cos I love them too much. Plus, I never heard of anyone dying from a strawberry allergy so I reckon I'm safe.
    I have that kind of problem with my tongue. I get it with a lot of things - hot drinks, sweets, oranges and other stuff. I'm not always sure what sets it off. On the tip of my tongue I get loads of bumps, pimples and it gets really red and then over the rest of my tongue it looks like I have patches of the skin missing, and it stings like hell! Have always had it but don't know exactly what sets it off, or why it happens. Boiled sweets are the worst thing for it though - I reckon my tongue is sensitive to acid in foods and the acid burns some of the skin off - sounds a bit too dramatic though!

    I'm having strawberries now... :yum:

    Scarlettleeds, why don't you ask a doctor? It might really be risky to you or you might be able to do something to eat them and prevent that... It doesn't sound nice! I think it might be risky to keep eating them like that.

    :yes: indeedy. Only a little pepper mind, just enough to give a bit of bitterness so the strawberries taste uber sweet when you bite them

    I had some on Monday and yesterday.

    They are all gone now though :yum:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

    Don't know about putting pepper on them though.. whipped cream is much nicer :yum:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
