I bloomin' love strawberries

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

Especially with ice cream, preferably clotted cream ice cream. But they go with so many things - one of my favourites is meringue nests and whipped cream One of nature’s little miracles!

I eat so many strawberries over the summer months I'm surprised I don't turn into one. Unfortunately I'm trying to be healthy so no ice cream or clotted cream for me, but for a treat I often have strawberries with a milkybar mousse, so good.

I hate when it gets to winter and decent strawberries are no longer available.

I like them too. I know when I was a kid I would eat them 'til I got sick and would still be wanting more

I love strawberries. My grandfather raised strawberries and other fruits for a living (plus his hogs). He would send me into the field to pick strawberries. I would eat most of what I picked. It is impossible to buy strawberries that good in the grocery stores today.

I love all kinds of berries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries . . . We used to grow them when we lived in a more northerly climate, but it’s so difficult to keep the bugs from eating them here in Florida. I don’t even need anything with them but a bowl and a spoon.

Me too. Just had some with my breakfast.

Every Mother's Day my dad likes to give my mom fresh fruit salad with loads of strawberries and finding good strawberries is easy because our supermarket has sales on them all the time and my mother also likes chocolate dipped strawberries too. If there is one comfort food my mom loves is fruit salad with strawberries

Do they still have pick-your-own strawberry farms up north (New England)? We used to have a tradition that every June, for Father's Day (that's when the strawberries would come in), the kids and I would go to one of those places, pick all we could, then go home and make strawberry jam, ice cream sauce, strawberry shortcake, whatever for DH. Then he'd always acted surprised. He did adore strawberries. Such fond memories!
