Phillip Mycar Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) The big hitting berries. It's Eubank v Benn all over again. Pick your winner but absolutely no eating as you pick your berries. Turn up at the checkout with red chops and you won't be allowed back. Edited July 6, 2020 by Phillip Mycar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 There needs to be a third option of Bramble which is superior to both. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizzo Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I like raspberry-flavoured stuff (jam, sweets etc) better than strawberry-flavoured stuff but I prefer to eat fresh strawberries over fresh raspberries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get off the fence! Strawberries, texture, more substantial. A man's berry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 There's something I don't trust about raspberries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 For rice pudding: strawberry jam For butteries: raspberry jam By themselves: strawberries (with a dash of sugar) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Raspberries go mushy too easily, can't beat a nice juicy strawberry. Most of my garden ones get munched by slugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 It's a tough one tbh. I like raspberries with healthy shit like natural yoghurt....but strawberries are better with unhealthy shite like thick whipped cream or on a birthday cake.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Out of those two the strawberry, but my real favourites are those New World interlopers the blueberry and the cranberry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I don't have much of a sweet tooth so I prefer the tartness of raspberries over the sweetness of strawberries under most circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Memories of getting up at some ridiculous time to catch one of the berry buses during school summer holidays. Picking rasps was a lot easier but more of a mess than strawberries. Plus you could pish in the bucket to add to the weight. Strawberry picking paid more but was back breaking and the incentive of earning more money was hampered by eating 1 for every 2 or 3 that went in the punnet. Think only went 2 or 3 times as preferred sleeping in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Me - strawberry, the wife - strawberry, the daughter - strawberry but sometimes raspberry. Different berries for different needs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspberry Switchblade doesn't have the same ring to it either. On the issue at hand, strawberries are more reliable as I once found a wee larva thing in the hole of a hulled rasp. They're too delicate as well. If the punnet has to be lined with bubble wrap then you know you're in for a sloppy experience (anyone seen Kenneth?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Since lockdown started I have a smoothie as part of my lunch everyday, it will contain strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas and (sometimes) blackberries. It is delicious, and both those wonderful red berries play a huge part in making it what it is. Raspberry jam is better than strawberry jam though, so on that basis, I've chosen Raspberry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer eating strawberries to raspberries, but raspberry jam is the king of jams. Tough choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
