Not gonna lie, sometimes I get home in the wee small hours, make myself a cup of tea and put together an 'Eaton Mess' before bed.
For those of you that are going....'Huh?' and scratching your head....here's an 'Eaton Mess'
Essentially, it's some sliced strawberries (plus other berries, if you have them), broken up meringue nests and whipped cream, folded together, put in some sort of bowl with some slices of strawberries on top.
Delish.
It was concocted at Eaton College, back in 1893, as a pudding between Eaton and Harrow (districts of London) at a Cricket Match. Apparently, the strawberry, meringue and cream pudding fell onto the floor and some enterprising person just scooped up what could be salvaged and put into individual dishes.
How cool is that?
Anyways, it hits the spot for me. Just takes a few minutes to make. Less to eat!
