Think of a quick snack to deal with your hunger pangs and sandwiches have always come in handy. Easy to prepare and super versatile when it comes to fillings, spreads or jams, sandwiches are also that one food that has seen several experiments in a bid to have something unique and creative. In a string of bizarre fusion recipes, sandwich is the latest target with a sandwich filling of strawberry jam, cheese and chocolate ice cream. A viral video from Bhavnagar, Gujarat, has disgusted the netizens, where it shows a street food vendor making a heart-shaped chocolate cheese sandwich with a filling of strawberry jam.
In a viral video that has been making rounds on Twitter, we see a street food vendor cutting white bread into heart-shaped portions before applying butter and jam on it. Another person then adds grated chocolate to the bread followed by oodles of cheese. Our sandwich dreams are already shattered by this. But that is not it. The vendor then takes two chocolate ice cream bars and places them within the sandwich after removing a small portion of the bread in the shape of a heart. The sandwich is then divided into two right before serving. Watch the viral video here:
That sure looks like one heavy sandwich but with a lot of extreme flavours. Ever since the video was uploaded, it has garnered 654.9K views, over 3K likes and a host of comments! Many people were left disgusted and disappointed with this bizarre food combination, and left several angry comments.
“Butter, jam and chocolate were still tolerable. But no, no ice cream and cheese and bread together. Nope,” one person wrote, while another said, “I won’t ever do something like this or eat this.” One comment read, “I can’t even take butter and jam together. Jam is jam, butter is butter, how can one mix the two, kills the taste.” “What a sad day to have eyes,” said another user.
Not just netizens, the bizarre dish also shocked former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who retweeted the viral video and wrote, “This sandwich just blew my mind. Who came up with this combination & how did they find a market for it? I love Gujarati food but I draw the line at this invention.”
