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 & ALTERNATIVES

Use ready-made meringue nests, especially if they are already broken and 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 utterly 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!. You just can't beat an English public school education !.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Bread Fritters;
Go to the bakery section of the store where you normally buy bread!.
Ask the baker for an "unbaked" loaf of bread!.
He must put exactly the same amount of dough he would have used to bake a bread with in to a plastic bag for you, and it would cost no more than a loaf of bread!.

Take that home and in a pot warm some cooking oil to about half the depth of the pot!. (Smaller pots take less oil than bigger ones do)!.!.!.
The oil temperature should be medium hot!. (About half the heat that the stove plate will go)

Now cut from the unbaked dough a slice about the size of your palm, and with a little water on your fingers (to prevent the dough from sticking to your hand), stretch out the dough in all directions until it is about the size of your whole hand including the fingers!. That brings the cutting of dough to about twice the size it was when you cut it!.!.!.!.

Now with care, drop the stretched out dough in to the hot oil!.
It would rise almost instantly!.
Fry it in the oil until it is golden brown all over, taking care to turn it over occasionally!.
It would be puffy and crisp when done!.

With a large ladle or sieve, scoop out the bread fritter and place on an absorbent kitchen towel to rid it of most of the oil still on it!.
Repeat this process until all the dough is done!.

These bread fritters are extremely filling, and can be cut open and filled with almost anything from grated cheese to mince to poloni or jam!.
Try it, you will probably have some left over for two or three days, which your man can take to work if he likes!.!.!.!.
Bread fritters can be frozen and warmed up again if you have made too much, but the dough cannot, so rather make the whole lot and freeze what is left over for another day!.
Here at home I have a set menu I follow when the kids are home, and Wednesdays are always bread fritter days!. My family looks forward to this mid week treat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
