Anyway, so everyone is taking a dish. I volunteered to make 'Eton Mess'. Kinda like a pav, but all the meringue is mushed up in a bowl, with the cream and strawberries piled in.
We made the meringue last night. The batch turned out so well that we decided to be adventurous and turn it into a pav. We based it on the reasoning that if it stuffed up in the oven, we could just mush it up and then go back to the Eton Mess plan.
As it turns out, the base turned out great!The girls and I were talking about pavlovas the other day (which Kiwis argue fiercely they invented). I had to explain what 'Peppermint Crisp' is, as it turns out is something that our Kiwi cousins don't have. Racking my brain about how to top the pav, I ended up with strawberries and cutting up a Daim bar.
Will have to let you know how it tastes later on....
