To be dreading the onset of summer fruit season?

[TheRealAmandaClarke]

Because it's met with a chorus of people who make a point of heavily stating their preference for raspberries over strawberries in a manner that suggests they are the only ones who can tell the different?

Or has sleep deprivation finally finished off any tolerance whatsoever?

[Sirzy]

I can't say it is an issue I have ever had


I prefer strawberries though.

[Methe]

Hmm, it is a hard choice but I think the raspberries have it.. Just.

[notapizzaeater]

Sorry but peaches beat them all

[Sparklingbrook]

I am ok with the onset of the summer fruit season personally. We have an excellent PYO place.

I wouldn't worry too much.

[Sirzy]

Our local pyo had closed

[TalkieToaster]

I have never had a nice peach. They've always been too ripe or underripe and I hate the feeling of the skin.

I think I'm in the raspberry camp, just. I am very particular about them and I can't tolerate even slightly squishy ones. I also scrutinise each one for mould.

[Sparklingbrook]

Sirzy.

[Forgettable]

Pffft to strawberries and raspberries

Bring on the gooseberries, I say

[Normalisavariantofcrazy]

I just love British fruit, don't care what it is, just I know we grow some of the best fruit in the world and I love it fresh and seasonal

[Smartiepants79]

Raspberries and nectarines rule!
Too many supermarket strawberries taste of nothing. It puts me off.

[ThatBloodyWoman]

I fucking love raspberries.
Can't afford the buggers though.

[Smartiepants79]

Oh, and peaches are all fuzzy which is just wrong.

[Sirzy]

Mmm gooseberry crumble.

[Nomama]

Anything local, but I am a raspberry fiend too, sorry.

I hate supermarket fruit, it is rarely really edible.

[Sparklingbrook]

Gooseberries-I just can't do them. My Mum used to make gooseberry crumble and i always hated it.

I love going to the PYO. Even DS1 (14) came with us last year and he hates us. He every nearly enjoyed himself.

[TheRealAmandaClarke]

That's very true Normal

Nectarines over peaches here personally.
And either strawbs or rasps.

Oh dear. I know I was BU
And slightly unhinged.

[Sparklingbrook]

Now Rhubarb crumble I like.

[Sparklingbrook]

If you want to be unhinged about something AIBU on Mumsnet is the place Amanda.

Do you feel better getting it off your chest?

[Normalisavariantofcrazy]

I'll top that with rhubarb crumble ice cream

[Sirzy]

The power of PYO sparkling amazing places

This thread now has me craving fruit which won't be in season for a few months.

[ShadowFall]

Both are good.

Failing to see the issue with people having a preference.

[phantomnamechanger]

I want a gooseberry crumble now, yum yum

granddad used to grow them and we would pick and eat them even if they were really really sour.

[Smartiepants79]

Yep, my dad grows raspberries. Think my 3yr old ate them all.
It's a wonder she's wasn't ill!

[Sparklingbrook]

I tend to have Strawbs because the DC like them.

I know Sirzy, i wonder if he will come again this year? [dein]
