[unclemike]

for all you strawberry lovers who like me are fed up with the great big lumps which are white and hard inside, get morrisons wonky strawberries, uk grown, small, and red inside ,proper juicy , go well with ice cream

I'll have to look out for those as I'm using Morrison's for most of my shopping at the moment. Last week I ordered strawberries but didn't realise what a large size I had bought until I unpacked the delivery. Still got some in the fridge but they're keeping well.

I have been using a local greengrocery delivery service as well and they had some delicious strawberries which came from Holland.

'Wonky' strawberries at Morisons work out to be substantially more expensive per kilo than the rest . It's the same in Aldi.

Clever marketing or sharp practice ? You decide.

[unclemike]

as usual you miss the obvious, we buy quality not quantity, good succulent wonky strawberries are better to eat than the great big ones , so if they are dearer its well worth it

Tesco’s also do a “perfectly imperfect” range of strawberries and they are delicious and vfm

Can’t beat wonky allotment strawberries though.

We don't mind "wonky" fruit and veg at all. Have had apples, oranges, strawberries and carrots with the "wonky" designation and in many instances we were wondering why they were so classified. It might be my imagination or my Yorkshire tightness of wallet, but I think a lot of the "wonky" stuff tastes better than the ridiculously wasteful and overpriced "A1" products.

quite happy with the flavour from my non regulation size and shaped raspberries from the garden at the moment

We get all of our fruit and veg from a local farm shop. It comes in whatever shape it has grown, is almost never the "perfect" shape and tastes so much better than supermarket bought veg. It is also much cheaper then the supermarket.
