A friend of mine recommended putting horse manure on my strawberries.

Sod that, I’m going back to whipped cream!

If you want to really bring out the flavour of strawberries you have to grind black pepper onto them.

I know it sounds wrong - I took some convincing too.

Not tried that, but black pepper works really well on melon

But not if you are prone to kidney stones. C.

You can pretty much treat them as you would traditionally tomatoes; they are excellent in a greek salad

and seeing as it's this board, even though it's not a joke, I've always found it amusing that they are called "earth men" (jordgubbe) in Swedish

Strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, black pepper and cream.
Sounds vile but tastes wonderful.
A sweet and sour idea, but also brings out the flavour of the strawberries (if they had any to begin with)

Black pepper on slices of pineapple and sprinkled with cream: delicious.

Again, not great if prone to kidney stones! [I am feeling like a public service broadcaster. C. ]

Which ingredient affects people who are prone to kidney stones?

Black pepper unfortunately. I understand it metabolises to oxalate, which if reaching the kidneys unbound can chemically interact with e.g. calcium to form a kidney stone. (Don't eat Spinach either!) C.

Weird, I've thrown a punnet in with a tin of toms before and it came in really well in a "bog" (strawbs were getting a bit over ripe)
- needs a bit of a blitz though
- they're not as juicy as toms
but otherwise they're both seedy, sweet berries
