What is Eton Mess?

The eton Mess is a meal specific to Eton College in England Surrey. The mess includes a mixture of strawberries, meringues and cream. The name comes not only from the place, in the city of Eton, but about how the ingredients appear once together: it is literally a mess. It is possible to use other fruits such as orange slices, kiwi and raspberry fruit, but strawberry is a traditional fruit of the etone mess. While modern mess contains strawberries, some of the original confusion contained bananas instead. Like many old universities in Britain, a cricket match is an important social and sporting event. It is traditional for the ether mess to the players and viewers a game.

While the eton College opened at 1500, with a chapel built under the reign of Henry VI, Eton Mes is a much newer invention. The name was first used at the age of 30 when it was sold in a school Tuck Shop, a well -known Etonians kindly known as a "sock shop". It is assumed that the mess is slightly older. Records testify to their dessertspecies in the 19th century, although it is assumed that the meringue is added later.

While the myth of the creation of a mess can be apocryphal, it is assumed that an excited labrador could create a mess during a picnic. The last Wednesday in May hosts the annual ether college ceremony every year. One year during the picnic, the guests were served by meringue filled with cream and strawberries, similar to Pavlova. The labrador sat on a basket containing desserts of meringue and unintentionally created the first eton mess.

The Eton Mess had various effects on British culture. First, because so many officers were educated in Eton, the officer dining room in many military complexes became known as "The mess". The second, because many politicians were also educated in Eton, including conservative politicians such as Boris Johnson and David Cameron, can be referred to by others as Eton's mess.
