Alpine Strawberries

Today's the day ……………………….. to play tennis

With the start of Wimbledon today, thoughts turn to the traditional 'strawberries and cream' that are very much part of the proceedings.

Apparently something like 27,000 kilos of strawberries are eaten during the Wimbledon Championships, together with 7,000 litres of cream.  Although I have read that, this year for the first time, it will be possible to have a vegan version of the classic dish.  Vegan cream, ice cream and sorbet will be available at the All England Club throughout the two-week Championships.

I doubt whether they'll have these tiny little alpine strawberries on offer though.  They might taste delicious but you'd need an awful lot of them to fill your bowl ……………………….
