Strawberries that work!

At the weekend, I bought a special-offer two-pack of British strawberries from Tesco. For the first time in years, I have been eating strawberries that work properly. By which I mean you can grab hold of the spider[*] and pull, and a neat little white core of strawberry just comes straight out.

Hurray!


[*] by which I mean the calyx, by which I mean the green leafy bit at the top.

Tesco made a big thing of them being British, so presumably glasshouse (although I don't think it said).

I was all about needing a fancy pudding and having a surfeit of egg whites, and pear/apple pavlova sounded a bit weird ;)

It would have been apple meringue all the way for me.

Yes, that is more autumnal. Less easy to prepare in advance, though (I made the pavlova shell the night before, so just whipped some cream and threw things at it when I wanted it).

And the visitors who ate the pavlova did bring me some apples from their tree, so maybe that's Sunday's pud sorted...
