Eton Mess – A traditional summer English dessert consisting of meringue, cream and strawberry


This all-time classic British dessert was conventionally served at Eton College during their annual cricket match. Hence the name Eton. One story says it was invented by a labrador that sat upon the picnic basket containing the strawberry pavlova and squashed it completely. Nevertheless, the boys finished the entire thing and this dessert was born!
For me, my version of Eton mess is like pizza. Just have to throw in the leftovers and whatever fruits are available as per the season. I used some leftover crushed meringue with strawberry, pomegranate, bananas and cream and topped it up with a red meringue. Mixed it and ‘messed’ it up after clicking the pictures. Fabulous for a summer afternoon!
