This week we have a tropical twist on a British classic: Eton Mess. Quintessentially British it normally contains strawberries and cream and it is topped off with crushed meringue. Legend tell us that this dessert was created by mistake when students at Eton – a very, very privileged school in England- dropped a Pavlova that was topped with strawberries and cream. Whoever tripped that kid is a genius because this is in my top 5 of favourite desserts over here.  Favourite British desserts? Plural? I hear you ask…Well I think English food gets a really bad rep out there, people think it’s just fish and chips, bland cucumber sandwiches and tea. Well let me tell you it’s bloody amazing. The traditional and modern food around here should not be snubbed. The puddings (aka desserts) over here are amazing, and they are never just served on their own, oh no you have custard, you have ice cream, you have single cream, double cream, crème fraiche…They are anything but boring over here. So yeah, don’t come and talk to me about how rubbish British food is because I am about to prove you wrong. This is a twist on the classic mentioned above.
