AIBU to want to put mint sauce on strawberries?

It has vinegar and some people put balsamic vinegar on strawberries, ditto the sugar and the mint. AIBU in thinking this might be a good kitchen experiment? TBF I've been known to eat mint sauce straight out of the jar with a spoon.

ew YABU. But i hate mint sauce at the best of times. fresh mint or the jamie oliver mint sugar pineapple recipe is a nice one. I think that would work well with strawbs.

How would this make you unreasonable?

It's actually not that bad! The strawberries are under ripe so it couldn't make them worse.

YANBU. Please proceed. I have balsamic vinegar mint sauce (Tesco Finest) and strawberries in the kitchen...

I think it could work, strawberries with a mint sorbet is a classic combination.

Sometimes I make a black pepper syrup to serve with strawberries and that is fab.

cream or sprinkle of sugar no mint!!
ice cream would be good.

Put it on the side. I hate it when someone serves me fresh fruit and kills it by putting on something on it I don't like. Mind you, I love all sauces and condiments on the side and if you served me beans on one plate with my fry without putting them in a separate dish, I'd refuse it.

One of my friends served mojito sugar with strawberries (which has lots of mint!) - and they were droolicious :)

I can't smell mint sauce without tasting lamb though, whether it's there or not, which may make your strawberries taste a little strange...

mint sauce and strawberries sounds delicious!
