We recently had some conversation about strawberries. The local crop is being harvested and they are on sale this week. While not as ripe as
they should be, they are at least red, no white tops, so I bought some.
Appearance wise, they are gorgeous. Nice red color, good size. Inside though, still white. Flavor is OK, all things considered. Cut and sugared, they are decent. As good as can be expected these days.
Another few days on the vine, they would be fantastic!

Sugared strawberries are kind of icky.

I don't really care. I like tart, firm fruit.
My husband sugars strawberries. I suspect he adds sugar to his
portion of fruit salad after I leave the kitchen. And to
cranberry-orange relish.

Slices of white bread with butter (hopefully), chopped strawberries
and sugar are a Dutch traditional, especially for children.

I'll put my hand up to having eaten buttered toast sprinkled with
sugar on more than one occasion. I don't seem to like sweets as
much as I used to, so I haven't eaten that in some years.

I have enough of a sweet tooth that I like a cookie or something sweet
like that for a dessert.
My standard breakfast is Shredded Wheat with a
little bit of dark brown sugar, some fruit and a little bit of whole
milk.
Once or twice a week I might had a sweet treat, but I rarely have
sweet drinks. I might have a Coke or Pepsi once or twice a year, and
about once a month I have a nice tangy ginger beer.

Yes, that's an even bigger classic, year-round.

Of course, my information could be outdated. Maybe, these days, Dutch children have a bowl of quinoa sprinkled with chia seeds for
breakfast.

I would think cruelty laws would prevent that.

I'd protest if I had to eat quinoa with chia seeds for breakfast.

It may not be as bad as some other things. I think I would make out
better with that than I would with something like an apple or orange and
a glass of milk.

Amsterdam, chocolate sprinkles on buttered white bread are still popular.

Ok. There are 2 types, hagelslag: <https://www.thedutchpantry.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_3898.jpg>

We've been buying strawberries specifically to feed a tortoise. I don't
know where they come from but they're not from here. If I see them in
the fridge, I'll grab a couple. They're quite good. They sell for around
7 bucks per pound. I can get strawberries from Japan for about 35 bucks
a pound. Those are probably really good but I'm not game enough to test
that out.
