Popular ice cream parlour's 'alternative' to viral M&S sandwich
A popular ice cream parlour has launched a special summer treat as a fun and delicious alternative to the viral Marks and Spencer's 'Red Diamond' strawberries and cream sandwich.
The £2.80 'game-changing' limited edition Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme Sandwich is filled with the fruit and light whipped cream cheese on fluffy sweetened bread, the retailer said.
M&S said its latest creation was inspired by Japanese 'sweet sandos', or fruit sandwiches.

Milk Maids has created a strawberries and cream milk bun, which it showcased on its social media platforms this weekend.
The bun, which customers can customise with their own ice cream flavours, is already selling out fast.
Taking to social media, the business posted: 'POV: you can't get your hands on the viral M&S strawberry sando, so you go to Milk Maids for a strawberries and cream milk bun instead.'

A milk bun is a type of soft, slightly sweet bread roll made with milk, typically featuring a golden-brown crust and a fluffy, white interior.
Speaking to The Bolton News, Milk Maids manager Polly Owen said: "We saw that M&S did it and the sandwich was trending, we wanted to do something similar.
"We always have summer milk buns, they're really popular because they're customisable with our ice cream flavours - plus, there's the added bonus of melted chocolate on top!"
The delicious creation also features Milk Maids' signature award-winning, handcrafted gelato ice cream, made with fresh ingredients and milk from grass-fed cows.
Milk Maids, which is based at Dearden's Farm in Over Hulton, has gained immense popularity with residents and has remained in the Partington family since 1955.
The multi-award-winning store is currently run by Fiona Partington and her sister, Rebecca Partington, alongside a close-knit team of 10, as well as her parents Anne-Marie and Michael.
