Strawberries and...

Strawberries and black pepper.  Not that far of a reach.  The floral notes of the pepper go quite well with the fruity berry.  Strawberries and cream, even less of a reach.  Strawberries and vinegar, again nothing new.  Strawberries and dandelion, well perhaps a bit of a reach, and still the sweetness of the fruit is checked by the bitterness of the dandelion.  And so we went to work.  We made a delicate and bracing black pepper pudding to serve with strawberry fillets, dandelion greens, minus 8 vinegar and vanilla and smoke Maldon salt.
