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.

Fingers crossed you pick up some whoppers!

Sainsburies punnets are going to be £1 in a few days.

Im hoping they are lovely and juicy.

Going to stock up my freezer.

I read there's concern they won't fit in consumers mouths and i'm not joking ...

Ha! Do customers not know how to bite them? Imagine how they’ll cope with apples?

M&S sometimes sell the giant strawberries (even in normal weather years).
They're like chomping on a small apple. Gorgeous.

Yes. And put an apple by the banana so we can gauge the size of the banana.

👍

thats made me giggle.

I’d get some Anusol on those! 🙈

I'm checking co-op this morning. I demand my right to see huge beasts of strawberries!

Looks good!

Meant to attach this!

@ZorbaTheHoarder bloody hell!!! That's bigger than me

I want a huge strawberry

I can fit a whole Rich Tea biscuit in my gob without breaking it, I wanna have a go on a strawberry😂

Have you seen the giant watermelon’s £4.75 in Tesco

I read that, I thought that they were going to say something terrible, but no the warning is they may not fit in peoples mouths!!!

They wanted £3 for very ordinary strawbs last night, the buggers

I survived my A&E trip (aforementioned) - had a sad moment when I stopped at the garage. It was shut. So no strawbs.

But went to waitrose today and found some!

Just had a watermelon, feta and strawb salad.

@GreenFressia thank you, I'm so pleased I finally got to see some giant strawberries even if not the OP's😂

They look lovely, but what did they taste like? what region were they from?

The Waitrose near us had some yesterday, they were large and British, but not from the area I normally prefer. I'm fed up with strawberries that just taste of nothing.

Mine are large, biting into them was a bit messy earlier!

I remembered to check when I went into co-op earlier - they're large but I wouldn't say supersize.

I'm consoling myself with scones, strawberry jam and thick cream.

Its a pound coin or a football pitch surely?

Or Wales, I want to see strawberries the size of Wales.

Our strawberry are much much larger and earlier than usual. Apparently it's the warm days and much cooler nights.

The bbc had an article about this earlier, saying the weird weather had caused them to grow to epic proportions!
