Strawberries and cream for Wimbledon

Recipe Description

A very easy and delicious treat and one that comes with history and tradition. Strawberries and cream have long been served at Wimbledon since the first tournament in 1877 and since Monday is the start of this 2 week tennis event, I’m bringing you the recipe and the history. Nothing says Summer is here more than the Wimbledon tennis championship. It is the highlight of the British Summer social calendar and anyone who’s anyone will be attending. Strawberries are at their peak right now, so it’s perfect timing because more than 61,000 pounds of strawberries, more than 1,800 gallons of cream and more than 26,000 bottles of Champagne will be served. Wow, that’s a lot of hungry (and thirsty) people attending.
