I don't get snobby about food very often, but I have to say that these days strawberries and tomatoes are things I never buy any more.

They're so large, watery, and tasteless, that I grow them myself or go without.

A lot of foods are no longer seasonal, as noted above, but I can't say I can taste the difference. Except for tomatoes and strawberries where I think I can - who knows, maybe I'm imagining it?

Tomatoes have always tasted different depending on the variety. I never really liked salad ones - including Alisa Craig which my parents grew. Beef tomatoes and small cherry ones seem OK.

Strawberries again I never partically liked even home grown ones. Som modern ones are tasteless especially those available out of season.
