ETON MESS





Serves 2





INGREDIENTS





450g of fresh strawberries


1 tablespoon of sugar


250g of meringue


250ml of cream





METHOD





Wash the strawberries, remove any stalks and chop them into quarters. Break or chop the meringue into rough 2cm (1 inch) pieces.





Put the strawberries in a bowl. Sprinkle over the sugar. Mix together.





Pour the cream into another bowl. Lightly whip the cream. Don’t over-do it: it should still be pourable.





Add the strawberries to the cream, or vice versa. Add the meringue pieces. Mix together and serve.





ADDITIONS %26amp; ALTERNATIVES





Use ready-made meringue, especially if it’s broken and/or reduced in price.





If you make your own meringue, this is the dish to practice with. If they weep, crack or even collapse, you can still use them in this. However, you do have to make it a day in advance.





For the romantic version, top with a large strawberry and offer this to your partner.





An authentic Eton mess uses strawberries, but other summer fruits work well.





However, even Heston Blumenthal has had to concede that Eton mess is “quite simply impossible to improve upon”.





HISTORICAL NOTES





Eton mess originated at Eton College in the 1930’s, when a mixture of either strawberries or bananas with cream or ice cream, all stirred together (hence the name ';mess';), was served in the school’s “sock shop” (tuck shop). One anecdotal story is that the dessert was ‘invented’ by a Labrador dog, when it sat on a picnic basket in the back of a car. With the later addition of the meringue, it has evolved into the unashamedly wicked, yet still quintessentially English, summer dessert. It is traditionally served at Eton College's annual prize-giving celebration picnic on what is still called the ';Fourth of June”, despite actually taking place on the last Wednesday in May.
This is SUPER easy and you can also DOUBLE it for the picnic.
