Hulling strawberries

I hull them using a plastic straw.

You push the straw up its ‘bottom’ end and push the stalk out. If they are fairly ripe, it comes out quite cleanly.

Leaves a nice neat hole.

That’s why I only buy British. The Spanish ones tend to be hard and green round the top so you can’t pull the tizzy out. Ok if you want strawberries out of season.

Does anyone else remember when all you needed to do when hulling strawberries was grasp the green part twist and pull and the whole centre would slide out easily. Now you need to take a knife and either slice the top off or dig around with the knife to get it out. All apart from the fact they are often pretty tasteless unless English and very fresh. ? rant over.
