Well it says on the label they're British. So that narrows it down a bit. :wink:

That explains it. I saw a 6 year old girls push her little scooter loaded with large boxes of strawberries. She must be a HUKD member.

Good the Spanish ones are terrible which is probably why they are normally cheaper

really what a pile of horse shlte!
they spray them with m&s sparkle lol

What country are they grown in?

These are grown under glass ans tasteless

Can't beat a bit of warm fresh air....makes everything grow better :wink:

Had some of these - Hertfordshire grown and taste good.

mine Kent. they're sweet

Apparently they were £4 before.
The other strawberries they sell are £2 for 400g, so bargain!

Good price will give them a try.
So far this year I haven't bought strawberries from anywhere that aren't either hard or totally tasteless, even splashed out on some Morrisons Best ones last week because they were reduced to £1.60, but they weren't much better than the standard ones..

Hope my store have em, struggling to keep 600g £3 tubs in stock hundreds of 400g £2 ones though last few months.

Still £4 at mine....

Loads at lincoln as a man sampling them at the door

Probably tasteless Elsanta variety.

Bought a tray today, kent ones, nicest we've had for a long time, wish I'd got 2 packs.

Bought a tray yesterday, grown in Perth and they were lovely, all done now :smiley:

Out of the supermarkets, M&S are the only ones taste of anything.

Crazy Tesco - Extra none, Metro none, the little poo Express LOADS! Bought 2 :smiley:

EAT ME!



:smirk:

Kincardineshire & Perthshire, shame they traveled via Livingston depot, but more local than Spain LOL

Whatever they spray them with it works...

This isn't any lemonade this is M&S premium fed lemons lemonade...


:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Bought these and ate the lot after lunch....proper good you can tell they are in season

Nom nom nom...

Pitsea Tesco had 1kg trays of cherries for £4 too

very tasty I must say :sunglasses:

Yum

Look out for Centennial, sometimes labelled as Malling Centennial. First saw these at M&S, but also at Morrisons. These have excellent flavour.

How sad is that so many people never even tried proper strawberries. Most of the junk in our supermarkets only look good and smell nice.

bought 2 kg cherries & found this strawberries next to it, eventually bought 2 kg as well. must say the strawberry is very nice, plump and sweet. but very dissapointed with the cherries. it's not the usual cherry, it is market grade, not firm and not as sweet as the usual cherries from tesco.

Got mine today. Thanjs

What it doesn't say on the "British " label is ( Please eat within 12hrs or the fruit becomes a rotting smoothie ). Had to return £2 tub in the picture 5-6x in last few months as they begin to disintegrate. After being accused of having a dodgy fridge by the dep. Manager the fruit stacker told me the delivery drivers are told to reduce the temp of their vans to make more deliveries then it hits the warm store!
Tesco/Asda Meat and Fish, Lidl/Aldi Fruit and Veg, Sorted
This ?


:wink: Sorry Tory England doesn't deserve cheap premium food, you get what you pay/vote for! :laughing::laughing: love to you all :smirk:

Just bought a smoothie machine.. perfect :smiley:

Be sure to buy the 16 pack of toilet roll with Tesco's strawberries!

The tesco Imperfectly perfect strawberries van be nice but very hit and miss. Sometimes they can be small, small and taste very nice but other times can be huge and taste like plastic.

Why can't this country ever produce decent strawberries?

A big problem is that many of the best tasting varieties don't travel or keep well so they use ones that do. Go out and buy some plants today. You won't regret it.

If you live anywhere near Aldi and prefer smaller increments of your strawberry indulgence theirs work £3.40 a kilo in 400g punnets.

I normally despise all the pathetic grocery deals but this is actually a good one. That's a lot of goodness for £3. Thanks for sharing

Ones in sevenoaks were really watery. Wouldn't bother

very sweet and tasty

bought a box in London and it wasn't very sweet and very watery.

In Aldi i bought them even cheeper

Reading these comments, my feelings are that leaving the EU will be a good thing in many ways! A welcome back to the good old BRITISH TASTEE FOOODDD, no foreign tasteless crap!! Bring it on!!! :man::smile::D

Great post, thanks
Lovely quality.
I got some a bit back from Morrisons which were £3.25 and not a kilo, just under.
One tip for everyone with Strawberries

Sorry, it didn't copy it all.
Store the strawberries

The Sonata ones are generally sweeter than the Malling Centenary from my testing. Most others at the moment are similar to the Elsanta crap - only way they are gonna be sweet is to macerate them.

Yet most the fresh stuff will be expensive making us reliant on inexpensive (well cheapest after Brexit) nasty mass produced full of crap food*stuffs* the tax revenue will need to pay £990 million a month to NHS Private contracts.


Back to pickling boring UK foods :/

what a crock of poo


#inthenationalinterest

Picked some up for £1.80, from a local Express, in the reduced section. As if £3 wasn't cheap enough! Heat

Perfect nick, more for tonight and breakfast/lunch and only £1.80
