M&S<\/a> has launched a limited-edition dessert<\/a> sandwich that has sent shoppers into a frenzy \u2014 and it\u2019s being declared a \u2018game-changer\u2019. <\/p>\n

According to the retailer, the Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme Sandwich features \u2018the UK\u2019s sweetest strawberries\u2019 with whipped cream cheese on fluffy sweetened bread.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Japanese \u2018sweet sandos\u2019 \u2014 fruit-filled sandwiches dished out in Tokyo<\/a> cafes and London<\/a> patisseries \u2014 it\u2019s designed to be this year\u2019s go-to summer sweet and costs \u00a32.80. <\/p>\n

Filled with M&S\u2019s \u2018plump\u2019 and \u2018juicy\u2019 strawberries, it may look and taste like a dessert, but shoppers will find it in the regular savoury sandwich section.<\/p>\n

And, despite it being a slightly baffling creation, fans are already obsessed. <\/p>\n

\u2018Is it socially acceptable to go to my local store and buy all of them,\u2019 Kristine Kolodziejski said under an M&S Facebook post of the treat.<\/p>\n

\u2018I can\u2019t stop thinking about this sweet sandwich since I saw it advertised. I shall be trying one this weekend,\u2019 Rhonda Arnold added.<\/p>\n

One TikTok user, @emiiyjade<\/a>, described the sandwich as \u2018perfect\u2019, saying it\u2019s \u2018the best thing they\u2019ve ever released.\u2019 <\/p>\n

But does it live up to the hype? Metro<\/strong>\u2019s specialist food writer Courtney Pochin gave it a go to see what all the fuss is about.<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m not usually a fan of a pre-packaged sandwich as they’re often sad and soggy, but this one might just be an exception to the rule,’ she says.<\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s a super fun twist on the classic summer pairing and makes for a quirky lunch or dessert.<\/p>\n

\u2018The bread is soft and just the right level of sweet, there\u2019s a generous amount of creamy filling and the strawberries not only add a wonderful pop of colour, they hold their own. I was very impressed they hadn\u2019t turned mushy while sitting in so much cream cheese.<\/p>\n

\u266c original sound – emily jade<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

\u2018I did find the berries to be quite sharp, but this does offset some of the sweetness, so not a total negative.’<\/p>\n

Courtney adds that her ‘only other criticism’ is that she ‘kept wishing it could be a cake sandwich instead’. Perhaps something for M&S to look into down the line\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Overall, I think this is a great novelty purchase, but it’s not anything groundbreaking (it is just bread, cream cheese and strawberries),’ adds Courtney.<\/p>\n

‘Anyone who claims it\u2019s the best thing they\u2019ve ever eaten is probably just overhyping it for social media likes.\u2019<\/p>\n

So, there you have it. <\/p>\n

If you want to find out for yourself, the treat is only on shelves for a limited time, and no doubt they\u2019ll be flying into baskets.<\/p>\n

For a \u2018full fruity experience\u2019 M&S recommends pairing it with its new Collection Red Diamond Strawberry Lemonade. You can buy a one litre bottle for \u00a33.50. <\/p>\n

The supermarket describes it as a ‘refreshing new twist on a classic summer favourite’.<\/p>\n
