You're very lucky then - some of the rubbish that supermarkets are selling under the guise of being strawberries - usually from Spain - are of such low quality that no amount of sugar (or black pepper!) will add much to their flavour (if any)!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because produce doesn't taste good anymore!. The strawberries I grew in my yard 20 years ago were so sweet and delicious, but usually when I buy strawberries in the store they are unpleasantly sour!. I like sour foods, but not when I'm craving sweetness!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
