My affection for strawberries is quite without limit, and I hold gariguettes in especially high esteem. I have composed a fraisier for the occasion.Tell me, which sorts of strawberry do you find most pleasing, and how do you most enjoy putting them to use?

Strawberries are the niggers of fruit. Kino as a flavouring though.
>>21968433Get them in season (June, really). Most strawberries today are grown on water, they're useless and a waste of time and money. You really need them soil grown from a farmer or someone who supplies them from such a farmer without going bad.>>21968417Strawberry coulis ofc. Equal parts strawberry, water and Muscat de Rivesaltes. Add 10% powder sugar, blend and sieve. Goes great with any dessert.
strawberries, much like cake - god tier peak, but a lot of pretenders that are not worth your time
>>2196841790% of the time strawberries are more sour than sweet. A very disappointing fruit only good in smoothies and pies.
>>21968417>Persian style white pita>diced up strawberries>mashed banana>peanut butter>cup or coffeeliteral aphrodisiac heaven. I'm getting hard thinking about it
>>21968468That usually means the strawberries were picked before they fully ripened.
>>21968433Shitty strawberries can be salvaged with a bit of sugar and/or cream.
>>21968417I love them too, and coumarin doesn't effect me negatively either (the poison compound in strawberries). I enjoy wild strawberries the best, because they are the sweetest and most appealing, even if they are smaller in size.
The fraisier is composed of a crème mousseline, two layers of pain de gêne delicately soaked in syrup, and a strawberry coulis enriched with diced pieces of the fruit itself.Upon my next attempt, I shall see to it that the pain de gêne is rendered in finer, more graceful slices, thereby allowing a more ample proportion of crème mousseline.Here is the cross‑section, unveiled with due ceremony for the pleasure of your refined observation.It is quite exquisite, if I may be permitted the modest observation.
>>21968433May I enquire which variety you selected? You would be well served, I think, by procuring fruit of a more distinguished calibre next time.>>21968446A choice of exceptional judiciousness, reflecting impeccable taste.>>21968466Your assessment is, as ever, most astutely made.>>21968468I must ask again, which variety was it? You might give thought to acquiring fruit of higher distinction on your next occasion. Should they have tasted sour, the fault lies more with the procurement than with the strawberry’s nature.>>21968489A selection of most distinguished merit, whose anticipated flavours sound nothing short of delectable.>>21968557True enough, though one is always better served by commencing with strawberries of a superior calibre.>>21968635If I cultivate wild strawberries myself, may they still be deemed wild? In any case, an excellent choice. And should coumarin pose no difficulty for you, you would assuredly take great pleasure in tonka bean, it is quite delightful.
Was going to comment about growing strawberries in hanging baskets because of snails and slugs and came across this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnaR8B2xQIQStrawberries are closely related to roses! Very interesting.I got some Alexandria strawberry seeds which I havent had success growing yet: an alpine strawberry native to Scandinavian forests which are small but supposedly of exceptional flavor and intense sweetness.
>>21968433i always forget that most people just dont know how to pick fruit
>>21968682mmm, yes, quite.
It seems difficult to balance the acidity of fruit, not just strawberries, with the sweetness of cream.Fruit cakes and fruit tarts often end up with a disjointed texture.
>>21968446>Get them in seasonI can't. I live in a shithole that has to import them. We import oranges too and although they aren't as good as the local oranges, they are absolutely acceptable. Don't know what's up with the strawberries.>>21968557Adding sugar to a fruit that is ostensibly sweet is like adding water to a watermelon; it shouldn't be so.>>21968685>May I enquire which variety you selected?The, uh, red kind. I don't know much about varieties.>>21968812Considering that imported fruit is supposed to be the cream of the crop from the exporting party, I don't know what more I can ask for.
>>21968417>I have composed a fraisier for the occasionBased on the way you write, I think you ARE Frasier
>>21968880>imported fruit is supposed to be the cream of the cropit is all meets or exceeds certain standards but sweetness can vary between even 2 berries from the same plant, 2 melons from the same vine, etc.
why are you all talking like faggots
>>21968772>Was going to comment about growing strawberries in hanging basketsHave you tried this before? I’m close to swearing off growing strawberries because the really flavorful ones seems to really attract pests when I’ve grown them in pots or a raised bed
>>21968890Nobody asked, gay.
>>21969184Not yet, just herbs and bush beans; should be easy though.But using side-planting ports for maximum space efficiency.
>>21968417>quite without limitToo bad you have no affection for proper English.
>>21968417Do you always talk like a pretentious red-dit fag?
>>21969528GOOOOOOOD MORNING SAAAAAAAARS!!!!
