OMG there are actually people who don't like meringue??!

I mean good all the more for me. Also no accounting for taste.

Texture, geeze I like it every way except burnt. When I make a meringue pie (usually lemon or bitter orange) I absolutely lick the utensils and bowl clean. I make my meringue beating eggwhites in a copper bowl with a pinch of salt to create the acidity needed.

Texture, for a pie I prefer gooey -- crispy just makes it too hard to cut.

For meringues baked for their own sake, ideally crisp out, gooey inside. Too much crispy causes crumbling and I prefer my meringue on my tongue to on my outfit!

Hmm, I think it's time to make some meringue and spread it raw on my GF and then eat her it!

Sadie, lovely to hear our movement grows.

I don't have anyone to spread meringue on  (volunteers?),  but that sounds like a good way to enjoy it [emoji3]

Ok then.. I think meringue might be ok on its own... still better with lemon but definitely should have a second and possibly third ingredient. That's my thoughts☁️☁️🌩

Only really on lemon pie, find it a bit sweet so needs to be with sharp tasting fruits

I loved my grandma's lemon meringue pie!!!!

I haven't found one that is comparable since she passed, about 4 years ago.  So, now, I'll tolerate meringue.  Nobody makes it like grandma did, not even my mom.

I'm betting when my time comes, grandma will be waiting at the pearly gates for me with a big ole' lemon meringue pie, all for me!!!!!

I've never had good meringue from a store bought pie.  However I've made it before for a homemade creme de menthe ice cream pie and it was great.  If memory serves, the only ingredients for the meringue was egg whites powdered sugar, lemon juice and creme de menthe sprinkled on when frozen for effect.

I kept thinking I did it wrong since this tasted good and every other meringue I had was yucky.

Crispy meringue is especially yucky to me.  I want my meringue like cool whip.
