Nowt better to do!!!!!!!! Formula for perfect-tasting strawberries and cream Scientists have come up with a formula for perfect tasting strawberries and cream. Experts from Nottingham University found that to get the best flavour from a portion of seven strawberries - about 210 grams - they should be served with 105 grams of cream. Surprisingly though, the research discovered the best partner for strawberries is actually yoghurt, and not cream at all. This is because the plain taste of the yoghurt brings out the strongest strawberry flavour. So, if the total weight of a portion of strawberries is x grams and the average weight of a strawberry fruit is y grams then: Perfect flavour = x grams strawberries + 0.5x grams cream + cream coverage Professor Andy Taylor, who headed up the research unit at Nottingham, said: "Our research used state of the art technology to show that when it comes to strawberries, whatever you serve them with, less is more. "It's really important not to 'drown' the strawberries with excess cream or yoghurt "This research is a great example of how science and food can come together to help people to get the best flavours from their favourite foods."
