how do you prepare strawberries?

[AnnaMosity]

not like poncing about with balsamic vinegar, literally when you open the pack what do you do?

me
hull with teaspoon ( no idea why)
slice with teaspoon
wash
sprinkle with icing sugar

you?

Just pull the green bits off and eat them.

Rinse under tap, dry on kitchen roll, slice green leafy endy bit off with knife. Cut in half if big, leave whole if small.

Similar to Jenny, only I pick off the green bits and eat the strawberries.

Hold on to green bit and bite. Ideally at room temperature.

I wash before hulling/slicing, and then dry briefly in a clean tea towel or kitchen paper. Gets rid of most of the seeds & fibres on the outside which I have an unfortunate digestive reaction to . Washing after slicing makes them far too watery in my experience.

I wash them and slice end off. I don't add sugar.

same as you but with sugar. however when strawberry picking its different. you have to check them as you pick. pick, hold green bit and bite then repeat

Take lid off punnet, put on table, put sugar bowl on table, take lid off pot of cream, put on table, pick up and dunk in both, eat. But I am a lazy skank.

Hull with a knife, then wash, then eat! Slice in half if too big for my little one, but that's it.

I was always told that strawberries aborb flavour so washing them will just make them taste of water - the thing to do was damp a clean tea towel and pat the strawberries to get any residue / fibres...

... to get any residue / fibres off.

Ah. I don't dry so that the sugar goes all
Syrupy

Hull
Rinse in colander (give them a little rub to get any gritty bits off)
Allow to drain
Unless v ripe, cut up and sprinkle a very little caster sugar over them about 15 mins before serving

Can't stand overripe strawberries, so once they have passed their prime, or any leftovers, I make a quick batch of 'fresh' jam to have in the fridge and on pancakes/waffles/scones etc.

Best strawberries I ever ate where on my uncles farm, hot sunny day and picked them straight of the plants and eat them without washing :)

Out of container, Slice off green bit with sharp knife. Put in bowl. No washing.

Pull green bits off, rinse in colander, transfer to bowl, eat.
I've been pouring cream over, but guts inform me I'm still intolerant.

wash in sieve, shake off water, hull by pulling or a thumbnail if it's resistant. Quarter or slice if large. Eat, usually with yogurt (greek or onken set) -almonds added to that is my breakfast at the mo (sometimes and/or blueberries). Delicious and healthy.

Rinse and pull green bits off.
Sometimes slice them, sometimes leave whole.
Sometimes sprinkle with pink or red food glitter.
Never add sugar.

Punnet of strawberries, wash, pat dry, hull.

Cover in 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and4 tablespoons of caster sugar. Leave for a few hours, then serve with a good dollop of cream.

Ha just noticed you said no poncing around with balsamic... but it is good

I just eat them

But if putting in a bowl then remove green parts, stick in bowl, halve or quarter big ones. Sprinkle with sugar and pour over cream.

Insert hand into box. Hold strawberry by leave. Eat. Throw hulls to chickens.

Tis best accomplished while standing in the kitchen so the locusts children don't get there first.

Cut off bits slugs have got - this year there is hardly any strawberry after that - wipe with damp kitchen roll- eat -or serve with vanilla ice cream or dip in nutella. I never put actual sugar on. Shop bought ones I sometimes put lemon juice on if they don't have much flavour. make shortcake and pile up with whipped cream!
