Strasberries: not a typo
Today, I went grocery shopping. I wandered over to the berry section, as per usual, and was greeted by something I’ve never seen before: strasberries.
Apparently they’re a new fruit, a hybrid berry from strawberries and raspberries. How can you get any better than that?
They taste quite like really sweet strawberries, but they’re smaller and a bit more airy - the texture is really unique. It’s light like a raspberry but without the gritty raspberry seeds. If you find them, try them! For anyone in the UK… they’re on sale at Waitrose* this week!
*The author of this blog would fully consider any offers of sponsorship from Waitrose, in the form of lots of money or, you know, free groceries.

Ooh, that sounds yummy. I want to try them! Of course, here in Hawaii they’d probably be like $8 a pound.
Think they’d be good in a pie? Strasberry rhubarb?
