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.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person to remember proper English strawberries that work, just as you describe - I suspect that it's all to do with different varieties being easier to grow out of season and/or more resistant to being packed and sent around the world.
