As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a category of flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!

Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

#This week's flavor is.... Far East-brand Strawberries (FE/SC, HS, HC, VT, etc)

How did that get to be the FOTW?

It was requested! ... Well, "strawberry" was requested, but there are so many strawberry flavors I broke them up into three weeks, first strawberries from North American brands, then strawberries with old world origins, and now, strawberries from the orient and down under!

If you're not interested in the upcoming FOTWs, please take this opportunity and comment to request one that interests you (or send me a PM to do that).

Past FOTW posts can be found here

The NOTED podcasts, which are basically video FOTWs, are listed on this sheet, maintained by /u/apexified
