How Do You Eat Strawberries?
In New York City, at least, the local strawberries at the farmers' markets are absolutely delicious this year, sweet as candy. I have heard the same is true about the berries in California this year. So how do Serious Eaters like to eat their strawberries?
Last night at Esca, they told me they had local Tri-Star strawberries for dessert macerated in pork with a side of zabaglione cream. I asked for my strawberries plain, and they were so good it was scary.
That said, the thing I love to do with strawberries is put a little bit of high-quality balsamic vinegar on them, add a few grinds of fresh black pepper roman-style, and then top the whole affair with a scoop of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream.
