A supermarket chain has caused quite the controversy with it's new Wimbledon inspired combo. Though Wimbledon is known for of course tennis, it's also synonymous with strawberries and cream. But, Lidl has put forward a questionable alternative to the British dessert.
Teaming up with Great British Bake Off star John Whaite to present four new ways to eat the delectable dish, the shop has caused a stir. Instead of double cream, the alternative is soured cream. Drawing from his experience as Star Baker, John has also revealed why this choice is the better pairing.
Not just that, the TV chef – who has appeared on ITV ’s Lorraine and Steph’s Packed Lunch – also suggests you should try adding ingredients like dill mackerel and goat’s cheese. With the tennis tournament in full swing, John has shared four alternatives to the British favourite. Prepare yourself.
SOURED CREAM For those hoping to ace their seasonal snacking, the chef recommends simply switching from classic cream to soured cream. John said: “When you’ve got British strawberries that are bang in season, there’s nothing quite like it. They’re juicy and so sweet, so something with a little sharp kick will always balance with them perfectly.
“With that in mind, if you replace the cream with soured cream, you’ve got something even better – the gentle tang of the soured cream makes the strawberries even sweeter, and it’s nowhere near as rich as regular double cream.” DILL PICKLED STRAWBERRIES & MAC.
