Alternative to Strawberries in an Afternoon Tea Box?

[Overseasmom100]

So straws are getting abit rubbish now and expensive so in an afternoon tea box what else would you recommend putting in - already put little chocolates in as extras but not sure what to replace with...did think a few little bunches of red and green grapes

There are sarnies in there too

Pomegranates will be coming into season any time now and are super pretty, either whole, quartered or seeds?

Sorry meant to add they're usually very cheap in season, 3 for £1 in Aldi etc

I wouldn't expect strawberries as part of an afternoon tea, personally, just nice sandwiches, selection of small cakes, freshly baked scones with good quality jam and clotted cream.

Afternoon tea has all the usual in and the strawbs gave it that little bit extra - pomegrantes great idea
