That is definitely a strawberry. Probably my out of season which might explain it.
Between the shit they spray on them to fend off pests, picking them before they ripen so they make it to the store, bumping down the road and storage here and there, it is a wonder they have any taste at all.
After having a summer of tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries from the garden, my family is not too impressed at how they taste from the store now that they come from across the continent. Even this gimpy one tasted like a sweet symphony.
I probably my would have gone for the schnitzel as plan a to tackle that hungrosity.
Yep, you have it right, there's perfectly good reasons for shit tasting produce; humans just seem to be on the wrong path in many aspects and here's another.
I grow some things, have a vegetable garden and grew strawberries a couple times and they were the best, no sprays or additives, and tasted great. The same with my other produce including tomatoes...going back to store bought is no bueno as you say.
The schnitty was fucken good though, I have to admit...and it would have made a better plan A.
