Eton Mess is a traditional English dessert made with a mixture of strawberries or other berries, meringue and whipped cream. In this case, sweet strawberries have been added to this delicacy. The flavours are nicely blended in the aroma, with strawberries, soft whipped cream and a hint of cake. On the fruit line, the strawberries are very noticeable, not sour and not too ripe. The cream is sweet, and brings with it a hint of cake. The strawberry joins the flavours on the inhale and the dessert part on the exhale. The flavours aren't too strong, I'd say softer and creamier than something like a frothy strawberry smoothie drink. The sweet part is quite well rolled up, but you don't get a sense of a cloying flavour. The proportions are well balanced, so it doesn't feel too concentrated, which makes it even more salivating when steamed. Definitely aimed at sweet-mouthed vapers, this traditional dessert can be steamed all day long for its smoothness and creaminess. After a greasy Sunday lunch, it can be used to make a really nice dessert steaming that won't add to the volume of your tummy.
