What do strawberries taste like?

Kiwi fruit . . . strawberries taste a lot like Kiwi fruit.

S'funny, I recently tried a kiwi fruit that tasted like a strawberry.

Big taste test on brit tv about a year ago determined that the variety "Florence" came out on top by quite a long way.

Florence was a painful episode in my past . . . i'd . . . i'd rather not recall it.

I told you that you should always lubricate first.

Kiwi fruits suffer from dissociative identity disorder (DID), AKA multiple personality disorder (MPD). I don't trust them.

I know exactly what you mean!

I once thought I had a thing going with a kiwi, and thought things were serious when she used to cover me with cream and custard.

Alas, she was just trifling with me.

Try eating a couple of Synsepalum dulcificum first.

I ate a strawberry. It tasted like . . . .

More Strawberries . . YUUMM!

I've never had wild strawberries before, but I'm growing some right now and I'm planning on trying them when they come out. I've never tasted sweet strawberries before (they've all been super tart!) so I figure that if I don't find even wild ones sweet then that's just how my body perceives strawberries to be- tart and sour.

I planted some and they had small black worms.



they tasted good.

worms added protein.

how about snails *escargot

I think snails just add slime.

I'm not hungry anymore

I love escargot! They're not slimy when cooked/prepared properly.

Snails? They're not too sweet -- like strawberries.

Snails have to have gralic and butter, strawberries would just not work - besides, I don't really care that much for strawberries; the small seeds maybe?

BTW pinklips - when you plant them, they by definition have become domesticated. But, I be too, too technical; I do understand what you mean.

Actually, this be best cause you won't have the monster, over developed beasts that just don't taste right. Maybe this is the reason I don't much care for sberries any more?

I've grown wild strawberries--they are small, delicate, and delicious, nothing like the large strawberries you can buy in the market. Very intense strawberry taste, and you should find them sweet, or, at least, sweeter.

My problem was that the birds and slugs enjoyed them too, so I had to pick and eat them fast, while there were still some left for me.

With regular strawberries, I generally hull them, slice them into halves or quarters, place them in a bowl, and then I macerate them by sprinkling them liberally with sugar and allowing them to stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to an hour, gently mixing them once or twice during that time. In addition to the sweetening effect of the sugar, macerating them that way also brings out the natural sweetness and juiciness of the fruit--something I learned from Julia Child. It also leaves a syrup in the bowl you can spoon with the strawberries over ice cream, or cottage cheese, or pound cake, or just add to the portion of strawberries you're eating with a spoon.

What the hell are you talking about? You can't grow "wild strawberries." If you grew them, they weren't wild. This is one of the most bizarre threads i've ever seen.

Suppose someone were to transplant wild strawberries. At what point would they no longer be wild? I'm asking this because I've got this wild hair . . .
