For the last couple of years when we have bought Strawberries from the
supermarkets we sniff them first to try for flavour, then comes the
taste test at home, well last week we bought a pack of Buddy (Strawberry
(Everbearer) Buddy) from Sainsburys, got round to them today, they were
all still good, and then the taste, first class, and over half an hour
later I've still got the lingering taste, no need for sugar.
" This exciting new variety of strawberry will provide a continuous
supply of large, deep red berries from June through to October. Bred
from a breeding programme at East Malling to develop varieties suitable
to our ever changing climate, strawberry Buddy will continue to produce
sweet tasting fruits, even in very hot weather".
Watch out for them and see what you think.
What is your favourite variety of Strawberry?

I would never buy any fruit from a supermarket now as the prices are
just ridiculous. Taste is very subjective. But for flavour and
aweetness, Cambridge Vigour is very good. Just picked a bowlful of these
today. Even with hardly any sun on them for the last 2 months they still
tasted good. Hapil and Canbridge Favourite are very good varieties too
