Strawberries

Just thought you Brits might like to hear this.  We had the best strawberries of the year for breakfast this morning.  I was happily thinking that apparently the crop of a different variety of strawberries was coming into season in France and I looked on the lid.  There from England!  Truly delicious guys.

Best strawberries of the year every morning - J goes to the garden, picks them from the strawberry beds, mix of small alpines and the more cultivated types, warmed from the morning sun, delicious.

Much better than anything from the shops.

It seems to be a growing trend to label produce with it's variety and the county it was grown in.  I can now chose between different varieties all grown in Berkshire. I think some retailers also name the producer.

I hope this is a trend, Gay. I've always liked the way the French do this.

Strawberries at €0.50 a punnet today. Best I have ever tasted.

I had a glut of strawberries this year in my garden. So many that we could not eat them fast enough and in so many different deserts. In the end I made jam and foze four big bags for winter puddings. So, they could be giving them away at present but I could not face another just yet. So mine were deifnately grown in France with no label on the bowl either.
