Crispy or gooey...

[Megan.]

Hi,  I'm Megan,  and I have a secret to share...

This might be controversial,  but I normally only like crispy/dry meringue, and only tollerate the sticky/gooey inside. Do you have a preference?

 Well, the outside must be well browned, doesn't it?

Meringue...it always looks so tempting and perfect...yet it's often unfulfilling with a disappointing texture.
Good ol' American whipped cream for me.

Hugs, Devlyn

Ewww I don't like meringue.  Yuck!

I'm not keen on meringue though if it's coupled with the lemon stuff it's a bit of a winner. I guess it's like having Brussel sprouts at Christmas, kind of when mixed with roast turkey it all makes sense and I can relax.

I have an Aunt who makes the most amazing Pavlova's with crispy meringue, that then moves into marshmallow...chewy...caramel...joy. I like to make them but they are so bad for you(and me) sugar and eggs!!! but what a combination...the worst of course the pint of whipped cream to go on top along with your favourite fruit and flake sprinkles...something like this

I'm with Devlyn on this one.

In general I'm not down with the egg whites.

Well browned meringue, please.....  only on lemon pie.... otherwise worthless

Meringue's about the only thing in any pâtisserie I won't eat.

Isn't it supposed to be crispy though?

I shall form a crispy meringue separatist movement,  rise up my brothers and sisters! We shall overthrow the bourgeois oppressors!
We'll build a new world with crispy meringue exalted above all other unhealthy sugary confection. [emoji23]

😂 not hated from this end... just second best part of lemon meringue... wait, no, the pastry can be pretty good😊

[Siobhan Amanda]

Oh, wait, erm.... can I join?

I rarely have meringue, but I like it firm/gooey with only a little crispness on the outside.

[Megan.]

@broage, of course! You're right the conflict and anguish that comes from the nectar that is lemon meringue pie is a hard burden to bare.

Thanks Megan, I shall go thence forthwith, whisk in hand, with the sole purpose of making egg whites fluffy and dry😊

Meringue is just a big bite with nothing there.

That's why the calories don't count [emoji6]

Gotcha, I'm now in Briarne of Tarc mode and will not stop until most gooeyness has been stifled☺️
