Strawberries and cream, the first of the summer

Published on by HannaLeave a comment

To me the first local strawberries of the season is something special. I could go on and on about how badly packaged the supermarket strawberries are in the UK and how long it takes for them to end up in the shop after picking.

I must say, at this, Sweden is a lot better. You have fresh strawberries in small cartons and no plastic in sight, so you can smell and touch them before you buy.

Anyway, the best way to eat strawberries, apart from sun warmed off the plant is with cream and sugar. Is there anything better, I wonder?!

 

Premiere: British strawberries

Published on by HannaLeave a comment

I was extremely happy when I noticed British strawberries in the supermarket yesterday. Is it that time already?! Grown in Kent they tasted like early strawberries do; some nice and sweet, some a bit sour and some a bit bland. But together with pouring cream and sugar they still taste fantastic! My favourite dessert, and something I will eat most evenings from now on.

We went out for a three course lunch yesterday (plus amuse bouche and truffles – report to follow) so we had a simple, but very nice nevertheless, supper consisting of Swedish style prawn sandwiches and strawberries and cream for dessert. Life is good. 🙂
