Strawberries and Cream!

[Trieste]

A friend and I were having a debate, and now I'm curious. A favourite summer treat around here is strawberries with cream poured over top ... a little sugar ... it's pretty awesome (alas, I have none right now. Sadface.) but the quandary is how to eat them? Do you use a fork so you can effectively spear the chopped-up strawberries? Or a spoon so you can ladle up the cream along with the strawberries?

Well? :)

Hmmm a fork I think.   

Spear the strawberry and then twirl it around in the cream and sugar to attain a nice even coating... not so much to overpower the flavor of the strawberry though... *nods*

Must. Have. Cream.

Spoon!!

Oh no...Must. Find. Man. Now.

[Trieste]

... wait, GT, what? 

... a... strawberry man? Or do you just need help opening a pickle jar? *giggles and flees*

Me, I've always eaten it with a spoon... the friend who eats with a frok puts waaaaay too much sugar over hers, though. I put about a pinch... she piles in something like a teaspoon.

Cream. Man. Mancream.

*stops*

Trieste?

Trieste. Cream. *ponders*

*cracks up*

See what happens when you reel me in?

Good grief, you heathens know nothing!

You eat them fresh, straight from the plant, preferebly at a 'pick your own' place. One for me, one for the basket, one for me....

(At least that's how beasty has always eaten them, I swear, if they wieghed her in and out, then we'd have to pay a bomb!)

For me, strawberries should be eaten without sugar, why spoil such a wonderful fruit?
Of course, cream really is a must, that's if the strawberries last long enough to have it put on them....*smiles*

you have your girl friend feed them to you one at a time, plucking them from her fingers carefully, kissing the cream from her fingertips.

One for me, one for the basket, one for me....

My kind of lady... :)

ummm. In full agreement with Hairy on this one. :)


On a note of picking your own strawberries, having them fresh, I have been on certain berry farms where they weigh children...yes, weigh children...on their way into the farm, and out, and charge the grown up for the berries that they ate fresh from the plants.  I was mortified! Talk about spoiling a ritual.

Fork. . .

spoon although admittedly, I never do cream, I just sprinkle sugar and go. Or I did when I could eat those luscious, full, fat, round, sweet yet tart fruits.

[Pistol kiss]

Spoon. You can load it up with tons of whipped cream and it makes it easer to eat.

I've never had strawberries and cream.
It's always been chocolate for me.
In which, I use my fingers.
Pinch them up by their leaves and then dip them into the melted deliciousness.

Though perhaps I'll have to try them fresh sometime. Grab the boy and go strawberry picking.

It must be done with fingers, slowly. And I mean royally slow. Slower than molasses trying to roll up hill in a snowstorm. Ooh, goosebumps I say.

[Caity]

Fingers definitely.
