My aunt's boyfriend made the best strawberry sponge cake this weekend. The entire cake had 6 lbs of butter in it though ...in the cake and icing.

6/15/2010 11:44:14 AM

plain strawberries are not sweet enough

THIS is my favorite way to eat strawberries. but ONLY my mom's recipe. i have tried other strawberry pies and they SUCK.

6/15/2010 2:47:26 PM

I feel like strawberries are both overrated and overpriced. Sometimes when they are on sale they aren't overpriced I guess, but still I'd rather buy a fresh pineapple.

6/15/2010 2:49:33 PM

i feel all fruits and vegetables are fuckin overpriced

Commercially grown strawberries are neither sweet enough nor soft enough nor juicy enough. If you drop them from 12 inches on to a hard surface, they bounce. They also last several days in the fridge, which is not supposed to happen.

If you ever get a chance to go to Europe, buy some from a farmer who grows his/her own using natural methods and without chemicals. Here is what distinguishes such strawberries from the commercial ones:

- Blood red inside with lots of intensely colored juice
- Very sweet
- Very juicy
- Very soft, almost mushy; will not bounce
- Last for a day or max 2 in the fridge

You will never look at strawberries the same way again. Think cherries/raspberries (in terms of texture and juiciness) and you will get the picture!

6/15/2010 6:26:13 PM

Uh why does it have to be in Europe?

6/15/2010 6:27:27 PM

^^i think plain strawberries are sweet enough. i am not a sugar/splenda adder to fruit

a lot of people are

i'm not though. not even grapefruit (which is my faaaaaav)

the ones i get from the strawberry farm here are soft and juicy and sweet. they def do not bounce if dropped! but that is from the pick your own strawberry farm. and yea - they don't last in the fridge long before they get gross.

^ yea that is what i was wondering. the ones i get from a farm here seem yummy to me. or the farmers market.

i do <3 strawberry pie though. mmmmmm. pie.

FIXED

Oh, and ^ is retarded or grew up in some shitty city. You don't have to go to Europe to get good strawberries.

6/15/2010 6:45:38 PM

No, you don't have to. But, they are better there.

Read, retard

6/15/2010 6:47:13 PM

No, they're better here damn you.

6/15/2010 6:48:30 PM

Your opinion, no right or wrong there.

(as long as you have had them in both places, otherwise, you are a retard)

6/15/2010 6:52:12 PM

Haha, no I haven't had them in Europe. I just have supreme confidence in North Carolina's strawberry prowess.

If you really think everything is better in Europe you haven't lived there long enough.

Not trying to call you out or anything, but that is just plain wrong..

OK, not everything.

But when it comes to [good] food, Europe is far ahead of NA. Whether it is natural foods, gourmet foods, fine foods, traditional foods, desserts, fresh produce, whatever, Europe is better. (except junk food)

I never expected to eat strawberries at the DMV, but when I was at there a few weeks ago renewing my license, the lady at the desk offered me some from a big basket she had just picked up from the Farmer's Market.

6/16/2010 12:25:31 PM

6/16/2010 7:16:13 PM
