Comments on: Pommy Eton Mess http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/07/05/pommy-eton-mess/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

We were inspired to do our version after seeing this one on Food Network. The pom additions sounds nice. How did we miss your recipe over the holiday?

In our area (East Coast US) it has been the coolest weather I can ever remember for the 4th of July weekend but very nice for Saturday itself.

They are so lovely, and I have no doubt they're delicious. Since it's now summer here, I look forward to the bounty of fresh berries and my terrace garden thriving :) I just fell in love with your etons!

I'm a sucker for anything meringue though so I'll have to try it sometime. It's technically summer where I am now but it's been kind of cold and rainy and awful...feels more like April than July (more like October than January for you?) Basically right now I am looking forward to moving to New York so I can spend the rest of my summer in relatively normal summer weather. And summer in New York is one of my favorite kinds of summer. :) Ooh, I’ve never heard of this dessert before. I’m a sucker for anything meringue though so I’ll have to try it sometime.

Yes it is so simple yet the look of the white and red is so effective :) Hi Trisha -Fair enough! I can't say that I blame you at all (and it makes it much easier) :lol: I bought it from House. Hi romaverona-Thankyou so much! Ahh yes they are actually! What an eagle eye and good taste you have :) Hi Bill -Yes I can't believe we have 7 weeks to go! :o Hi jane-Yes they're delicious! Thankyou! :) Hi Lisa-Me too! It's not fair is it! I love dresses and picnics and everything is so much easier! Thankyou :) Hi Tara-Hehe I must admit I do eat them like that too :) Yes it's great as a salad dressing too! :) Do you mean like a pavlova? Yes the multiple layers are so time consuming! Hi Sophia-Aww you lucky thing you! And yes aren't the seeds so pretty and sexy! Like jewels (which I love) Hi Anita-Thankyou so much! :D Hi Ellie-Hehe thanks! Hi yaellian-Thankyou so much! They are aren't they/ Like gorgeous little jewels :) Hi Barbara-Aww I'm so envious! What a great time you'll have basking in the sun! Thankyou :) Oh really? We're starting to have them more around the year nowadays :) Hi shaz-Thankyou so much! Yes I've heard that is the best way. I have to say Nigella's way sounds like lots of fun but is rather messy!

It's up there with Spotted Dick etc. Yes it loks like snow doesn't it! :) Hi Steph-It is and so transportable which is good too! Thankyou! :) Hi Cakelaw-Thanks! :) I love those glasses so I thought that serving them in those would do it justice as it's a really nice dessert. You're welcome! I have my readers to thank for that :) Hi Gab-Oh no! WHat a shame! :o Ah well there's always a Pommy mess if you are in the mood :) Hi Moya-I love meringues and fruit too, I think because fruit here is never sweet enough for me!
