Eton mess is a traditional English dessert consisting of a mixture of strawberries or bananas, pieces of meringue, and cream, which is traditionally served at Eton College's annual cricket game against the pupils of Harrow School. The dish has been known by this name since the 19th century. According to ''Recipes from the Dairy'' (1995) by Robin Weir, who spoke to Eton College's librarian, Eton mess was served in the 1930s in the school's "sock shop" (tuck shop), and was originally made with either strawberries or bananas mixed with ice-cream or cream. Meringue was a later addition, and may have been an innovation by Michael Smith, the author of ''Fine English Cookery'' (1973).〔 See 〕 An Eton mess can be made with many other types of summer fruit,〔A recipe by Heston Blumenthal, for instance, uses bananas: see 〕 but strawberries are regarded as more traditional. A similar dessert is the Lancing mess (which uses bananas), served throughout the year at Lancing College in West Sussex, England.〔See, for instance, 〕 The word ''mess'' may refer to the appearance of the dish,〔 or may be used in the sense of "a quantity of food", particularly "a prepared dish of soft food" or "a mixture of ingredients cooked or eaten together".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/mess ) The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' defines ''mess'' as "() serving of food; a course; a meal; a prepared dish ''of'' a specified kind of food." or "() portion or serving of liquid or pulpy food such as milk, broth, porridge, boiled vegetables, ''etc.''": .〕 ==See also== *Pavlova *Cranachan * List of strawberry dishes 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eton mess」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
