"This light and refreshing soup provides a savory counterpoint to the sweetness of the rhubarb and custard scones. The vibrant green color and clean flavors of the watercress and pea cleanse the palate, preparing it for the richer, sweeter flavors to come, creating a harmonious balance."

Dessert

Eton Mess with Strawberries & Elderflower

A classic British dessert of crushed meringue, whipped cream, and strawberries, enhanced with a touch of elderflower cordial. Perfectly light and refreshing after a heavier meal, especially after scones with rhubarb jam.

"Eton Mess offers a light and airy finish to the meal, complementing the denser scones. The strawberries and elderflower provide a fruity and floral sweetness that echoes the rhubarb while offering a different textural element with the crunchy meringue and soft cream, avoiding flavor fatigue."
