I was a uni student when I first ate the delicious Fruit Sandwich. It was an ordinary sandwich made with Japanese Milk Bread and the filling of whipped cream and fruit. I had never had such a combination before. As Japanese Milk Bread is impossible to find where I live now, I use Brioche Loaf. Strawberry can be replaced with your favourite fruit such as Banana, Peach, Kiwi Fruit, Grapes, etc.
