Cricket lunch
Eton College, June

:INFO
Eton Mess
Meringues, smashed not crumbled. Cream, whipped to a soft cloud, not stiff. Strawberries, halved if small and quartered if large, macerated in a spoon of sugar for ten minutes. Fold together at the table, never in advance, never with a spatula. Two large spoons, three turns, serve.

:NOTE.half
The meringues must be shop-bought or made the day before. Fresh meringues are too soft and dissolve into the cream. You want crunch in every spoonful.

:NOTE.half
Use British strawberries if the season is right, June to August. Spanish strawberries the rest of the year work in a pinch but lack the perfume.
