Just tasted the first English grown strawberries of the season from our

ourselves.

All the foreign ones at the supermarkets aren`ta PATCH on the locally grown
ones for flavour. It won`t be long before the Kentish cherries are ripe -
Richard always brings us a big box of them straight off the farm. Can`t
wait.

We've got about another month before we see local berries!

I have been buying them because I can't wait but they aren't the nice big juicy
ones yet. I WANT A STRAWBERRY BASKET! So sorry; lost control. I have looked
for two years now for one. Wedgwood makes them; Spode too. It has a sweet
little pocket in teh ceramic basket on both sides; one holding sugar and the
other cream. Anyone know what I am talking about?

My mom always goes strawberry picking. Fresh ones are delicious, expecially
dipped in chocolate! Yummy!

You are welcome!

I remember having strawberries served in a fancy dish - fine brown sugar in
one "bowl" and fresh yogurt in the other, and the berries sat in their own
little drainer basket. The restaurant had them made by a local potter (does
gorgeous salt glaze), to their needs.

BTW - try strawberries with really good balsamic vinegar and a grind of
fresh black pepper. OR in your salad!
