Milk is an important source of nutrients that you and your family shouldn’t miss out on. If someone in your family has lactose intolerance and the rest of the family still want to enjoy the taste of real milk, try Lactofree - the UK’s first virtually lactose-free dairy drink.

: THE Eton Mess. I need an explanation to go on a leetle sticker
(18 messages)
The school Staff appreciation dinner is tomorrow. I will be sending in individual (clear) cups of Eton Mess. Meringues are alien to the locals unless on top of a lemon meringue pie or worse coconut creme pie and as they will be hidden I thought I should put a label somewhere saying what and why Eton Mess is. Anyone got a succinct explanation - preferably namedropping a royal?

you have to tell everyeone that you got a dog to sit on it because that is the only way to traditionally make it
I was worried about that MMJ I won't be there to serve it. Can the cream hold it's air if it is whipped in the morning and served at lunch time? Should I send in 3 pots and say "combine, stir and serve?
Fagging at Eton often involved crushing meringues between one's buttocks before mixing with fruit and cream. It is said Prince Charles was particularly good at it.
