Whipped cream folded with crushed meringue and macerated strawberries until ragged. The British summer pudding: assembled in 5 minutes, eaten before the meringue softens.
Eton mess first appeared in print in 1893 as the dessert served at the annual Eton vs Harrow cricket match, then a major fixture of the London Season. The original 1930s version used strawberries or bananas with ice cream or cream; the meringue addition came later in the 1950s. London's clubs and Wimbledon kept the dish alive as a quintessential summer dessert, and modern London restaurants from Rules to Spring serve seasonal versions through June and July when British strawberries (Cambridge Favourite, Wimbledon Favourite, Hapil) are at peak.
