If I buy strawberries today, will it still be fresh on Thursday?

What do you think?

They will be tasteless and revolting because they are out of season. Buy something else.

agree with BS

thanks

sorry, agree with the others. What were you going to use them for? Can we help you think of an alternative?

Oh thanks ladette! Was going to make strawberry and chocolate crumpets for DH for Valentines Day breakfast. Will go to Tesco on Wednesday I think.

"stawberry and chocolate crumpets"? Mother of god, woman, that sounds foul beyond belief. How about muffins, banana or blueberry or something?

sorry that does sound foul. how about something with frozen raspberries?

how does chocolate and strawberry pancakes sound?

Personally, I don't think strawberries go well with chocolate.

so you don't like strawberries dipped in choc?

pancakes sound better than crumpets imo. Frozen raspberries or fruits of the forest would perhas be better than out of season strawberries. Served with creme fraiche? We don't do Valentines day in our house (commercial bollocks according to my otherwise romantic DH!) but how lovely to have a special breakfast!

tasjasamuminuk it is the strawberries which are upsetting us. you can't eat strawberries in the uk in february, they will be revolting because they have been grown in a strange shed somewhere far away, not in the open air with sunshine.

frozen fruit is the way to go. or mango?
