I thought they were joking about giant strawberries

[winterwonder1]

Just looked in the punnet and there's six giant strawberries where I'd have expected at least double that. Just trying to upload a pic.

Bookmarking to see the giant strawberries!

Apparently there’s a glut of them https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/national/uk-today/25175021.uk-strawberries-large-size-warning-supermarket-shoppers/

Just opened it and they smell incredible. TBH I'm just glad to have British ones so early - can't stand the flavourless imported ones.

I’m also place marking to see them

I think ‘warning’ might be a step too far though - what are they warning us about?!

We had some giant ones they smelled amazing but we're so tart. I prefer the small super dark ones, but can usually only find them at farmers markets

And nothing beats home-grown!

We've got some freaky big grapes; mutant:-

They are whoppers!!

Whoops! Confused my apps there!

"They" know more than they're telling us I presume.

Waiting to see the giant 🍓 and to know where they’re from?

OP if you take a pic, don't forget to use a banana for scale

Where from please?

🍓🍓🍓 waiting for the pic. Also, where do you get them?

I need to see these… I am drooling so now have to make strawberry jam on toast as have none of the real ones in!

I'm waiting in A&E. Nothing would cheer me more than OP's giant strawbs. If I ever leave here I think I'll get some.

Sorry to hear you’re in A&E. Hope it’s a quick visit.

I want to see giant strawbs too! I was in the supermarket earlier but forgot to check.

Hope you get seen soon @GreenFressia.

Thank you! I am just waiting to go home hopefully. Might stop at the garage for Strawberries 🍓.

Apparently they are very sweet this year due to the glorious weather, and also supersized. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/national/uk-today/25175021.uk-strawberries-large-size-warning-supermarket-shoppers/

You’ve got a plum attached to your grapes! 😅

I’ve got giant strawberries and giant eggs!

Oh I wish I had taken a pic of mine earlier. I bought two large packs from Tesco to make jam. Usually, I chop each strawberry twice (once lengthwise and once across = 4 pieces). Some of the strawberries were as tall as a corn cobette, and plump. I had to dice/handle them more like a medium onion. They were dark too, but I didn't taste any as I was in a rush to make the jam before my strawberry monster returned from school.
