If you have strawberries in your garden then you won't grudge having this for dessert. Take some slices of thin bread and butter or stale slices of sponge cake. Line a basin with these then fill nearly up with ripe strawberries, sprinkling a little sugar over each layer. Make a nice custard with two eggs, one pint of milk and some sugar to taste. Pour this in and put away in a cool place to set.
