Strawberry sandwiches anyone?

[Gemini]

I see that M&S are selling strawberry and cream cheese sandwiches in the food hall for a short time, along with other season strawberry based foods.
I love strawberries and I do like them sliced in a salad, along with grapes.

Not sure I will try the sandwich though!
What do you think?

These don't appeal to me at all.

Lizzie, I guess we can't say we don't like them until we try them

We were coming out of M& S on Thursday , two women were standing eating them,
They said they were amazing , a slice of Brioche with the strawberry and cream in them.
To be honest they looked yummy.
As B said the British will put anything in a sandwich 😁

Oma I suppose if we think of them as more of a dessert than a sandwich, as it's brioche not bread, we would like them

I agree with Oma's OH. If you fancy it in a sandwich it's good! The brioche option sounds ok, and I'd give them a try.

Lizzie, interesting that it's an established sandwich filling in the Netherlands.

I would not have thought of a strawberry sandwich, but now I have to try one minus the cream. I wonder if strawberries would go with peanut butter, I was going to have a banana spread with that for lunch. I think half and half.

It has been for years Daisy. I didn't know it wasn't done in the UK.

Suddenly, strawberry sandwiches seem to be everywhere. I've just read that they are very popular in Japan.

Lizzie, I remember one of my OH's colleagues who's just had a baby boy, bringing in bread and butter and blue haggeltjes ( sprinkles) to celebrate the birth. My two used to like the chocolate sprinkles on bread and butter.
I've just bought the same strawberries in your photograph from the local greengrocer! Delicious!

[Lizzie48]

WG, yes, the blue sprinkles are aniseed taste.

Everyone likes the "hagelslag" on bread!

The strawberries would be delicious.

I know in Australia butter and sprinkles ( aka hundreds and thousands) on bread are known as Fairy Bread. Popular for children's birthday parties or for treat.

[Plantaholic]

Sounds quite yummy

[Daisy]

I can't imagine what sprinkles on bread and butter would taste like, but when I think of some of the things we put on sandwiches years ago, I won't pre-judge! Did you ever have sugar sandwiches? Or crisp sandwiches? I don't even like the idea of banana sandwiches these days.
