I got some in store at the weekend. Worked out cheaper than the big 900g crates they have been flogging.

Spanish, but they do look really good. The pack I have has a strawberry about 1/4 the size of the container!

They might look good, but they're not. Grown for visual appeal and size, as a lot of other fruit and veg.
Ideal of you need some for a photoshoot, but if you plan on enjoying them, lower your expectations - greatly!

As with ALL fruit in supermarkets nowadays - BIG fruit has no flavour, small fruit has it in spades - and a fruit from abroad bears no comparison with a fruit from UK - BUY WISELY! One 1/4 the size of the container probably WILL taste of straw ...

They've been this price for ages! Morrisons always have the cheapest fruit & veg out of the big 4 supermarkets, it seems.

Couldn't find it posted though so by doing so it's hopefully helped a few people become aware :smiley:

Spanish though? Are they as tasteless as most Spanish strawberries?

Yep, not too much taste to these. Plus, all of the punnets I was looking at had too much bruising/spoiled/starting to turn strawberries inside. I ended up buying one pack, and then someone else bought me another a few days later, as I feared, almost tasteless, texture too hard, even on the ones that had started to ferment... Would not recommend.
If you do want some GOOD fruits worth spending your money on (from Morrisons, also) try the small citrus packs, I had some a few days ago, I don't think they were satsumas, so were either mandarins or clementines, and they were AMAZING, genuinely some of the best I've ever tasted (many times, the citrus we get in this country is quite bland, and sometimes even the texture is weirdly & horribly dry for a fruit that's 90% juice!).
I'll go and see if I can find some more and if they're as good as before, and report back.

Tried some Spanish strawberries from Morrisons for £1 last week and also got 2 packs of British strawberries on 2 for £3.
The Spanish strawberries were tasteless compared to the British ones (which were delicious and full of flavour), I won't be buying them again

Had some Spanish ones from Aldi yesterday. They looked really dark and nice. Might as well have been cucumber when I ate them.

Bought early British ones yesterday in Asda, 400g for 1.50.......delish. To my mind, the Spanish ones have no taste and as others have commented, go mouldy and squishy quickly

Nice deal.
But I prefer M&S strawberries as they are British and they are always so sweet! Especially this time of the year!

Just been in Morrisons and these look hard and horrible!
The 227g British ones for £1.47 along the same aisle were the ones I went for.

Yes, they are way too hard, and mostly quite bland or tart.

Haha! Well, you'd need 20 packs to make one vaguely decent tasting pack out of these, sorry.

Tried these on a couple of occasions recently and despite their good looks, they are tasteless. Personally I would not pay £1 for these.

If they're tasteless then they were picked green. I also wonder what sprays were used on them?
If you want good strawberries, then you'll have to find them at a farmer's market and ask the above questions.

Have you noticed how nearly all strawberries today are nothing like they used be years ago? British as well, either they are using the same or similar crap varieties. The leaf and stalk is almost impossible to remove. The area under the stalk leaves rarely ripens, can even be white!! Years ago Brit strawberries, the stalk just fell out almost. So succulent. Someone said to me lots of crops are now GM. Wouldn't surprise me.
Anyway, to this deal. This is NOT hot! It's warm. Been this price for a while. AND it's only 300grams. Even Sainsbury's today (just bought some - Spanish again - are only 50p more ...but 400 grams.
Blueberries are what get my goat, so bloody dear. Stocked up last week when they were on offer at 59p punnet in Lidl.

Yeah, I absolutely agree - thing is, I reckon 95% of the people here (and 99% of those voting this hot) have never tasted a proper, real, natural strawberry - I don't know what seeds these come from, and I don't know how much it's the genetic modifications and how much the method of growing them that are responsible for the (lack of) taste of the end product, but all I know is that I had some home-grown (small garden in a small village of a household that didn't even have running water - drew it from its own well) strawberries about 25 years ago in a different country and they were the best strawberries (and some of the best fruits) I've EVER eaten. Well, you can imagine, if I still recall that experience so vividly a quarter of a century later! They were on average smaller than these (about the size of the smallest ones) and indeed, they just fell off the stalk in your hand, none of this crazy weirdness with a large unripened top bit, and their texture meant they effectively MELTED in the mouth!
The same goes for raspberries too, but to a lesser extent, HOWEVER, I did notice you CAN still get proper raspberries here, today - just go to any allotment and ask someone who has a berry bush to let you try one of their fruits and you'll see - the depth of flavour and the fragrance is enough to drive you insane with lust for that fruity goodness - I guess they haven't messed about too much with their genetic code! They probably haven't been able to make them into gigantic freaks of (non)nature, so they mostly left them alone.

Are you saying that UK grown fruits are always tastier than "foreign" fruits? Well, let's call them imported...
That has not been my experience in a lot of cases, so I don't know what fruits you're thinking of - maybe some apple varieties.

Well, I said I would, so I'm finally reporting back: Morrisons do indeed currently have some SUPERB tasting citrus fruits, they're TANGERINES, and they're something like £1.15 for a bag (about 6 in there), so there you have it: if you want some great tasting fruits for around a quid, that's what you should get, not these poor strawberries.

I found that too, in most cases, however, there is ONE notable exception I have found, and that's cherry tomatoes. Every time I think the little ones will be concentrated with flavour, they're not, yet the extra large ones are almost ALWAYS amazing, and the deeper the red colour, the more so. I suppose it's no great mystery, simply a case of the bigger ones having fully ripened, while the little ones have not.
