Strawberries and Cream, a Wimbledon Tradition

Wimbledon Strawberries and Cream

A visit to Wimbledon is never complete without indulging oneself with a cup of strawberries and cream. I've splurged myself during my trip to Wimbledon and highly recommend you do as well. So where does this tradition of Strawberries and cream come from anyways?

The strawberry has been growing wild in Great Britain for centuries and it was in the early part of the 17th Century that it began to be properly cultivated. Mrs Beeton in her Victorian Book of Household Management suggests it got its name from the fact that people used to put straw under the growing berries to keep them moist and clean. The link between the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and strawberries probably came about because June is not far off the beginning of the English strawberry season. Some early and canny Wimbledon caterer grasped the opportunity to make a quick profit by serving a handful of them with a dollop of cream to the tennis eager spectators. It has now become a traditional part of this quintessentially English end of June event and is held the week after Royal Ascot.

Making your own Strawberries n Cream..

This, surely, is a close contender to the nectar that the ancient gods drank in heaven. Take a glass (one of the fluted type) of well chilled champagne and drop one well washed strawberry in it. Let it stand for the length of a couple of good rallies and then slowly sip. The combined flavour is just awesome.
