Re: What are some foods you just can't enjoy?

[kaijinscendre]

Yes! People always tell me they are sweet but every strawberry I have had tastes sour.

Strawberries are generally better cut up with a few spoonfuls of sugar in them and then whipped cream on top. They're often kind of sour!

I just don't like them.

Agreed. Fresh, ripe strawberries from a home garden can be very sweet and flavorful, but you're lucky if you get that from a store-bought carton.

I'm not old enough to know for sure, but I'm pretty sure there was a time when store-bought strawberries were a lot more sweet and flavorful. It's just they've been bred for maximum...everything?? for long enough now that they've started to suffer in the flavor department. Ah, yes, google backs me up:

The Elsanta strawberry, the supermarket's favourite and by far the most widely available soft fruit, is the most firmly linked in the public mind with tasteless modernity. But, as celebrity greengrocer Charlie Hicks points out, it is not entirely the berry's fault. "If it's grown properly it can be very tasty," he says. "The problem is that because of the enormous pressure from supermarkets on growers to produce higher yields at lower prices, they have to use techniques that basically mean pumping the produce full of water. The more water there is in anything, the keener the price. Water's cheap."
