Victor Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Perhaps they got stuck in a jam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Victor behave. Nature plays her little tricks occasionally. This year has been unusual in that the strawberry crop was very early and that no doubt is why there has been a second coming.Be happy and grateful. Especially when you look at the prices in the supermarkets. I wonder how many they throw away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 If it is a lot then it serves them right for charging too much. Supemarkets are getting too greedy with their prices. They used to buy large and sell cheap but now they buy large and sell for as much as they can fleece out of the customers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 How old are the strawberries when they hit our supermarket shelves as I bought some a few weeks ago and they were covered in mould within two days so we had to throw them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Soft fruit doesn't last long. Keep them in the fridge and extend the mould-free life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 My fault then as I didn't put them in the fridge Would have thought they would have lasted longer than two days though. The worst thing though was that the night before they looked fine and by tea time the following day they were absolutely covered in thick hairy mould. Yeuch. Surely if we had eaten them the night before the mould growing process would have already started so we would have eaten the mould without realising. Why on earth do I worry about daft things like this and even worse it has absolutely nothing to do with nabber's original question.... sorry nabber I shall try to pnder elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even go there, or you will never eat again. Another thing I have learnt lately, is that you keep broccoli, cauli and French beans in the fridge and they keep fresher and longer.
