Around
[edit]Around here, meringue exists in the dry variety and as a cream :d . Isn't it called "meringue" in English? -- Error
Main Image
[edit]I suggest that we replace this image with something that isn't a broken meringue.99.241.140.140 (talk) 20:55, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
storing meringue
[edit]Can meringues be deep frozen?--210.55.124.13 06:09, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC) Why does meringue sweat? --(reply to nascar.amy@gmail.com) I would like to know this answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.215.25.37 (talk) 19:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Cites needed
[edit]I have flagged two statements in the article as needing sources. Daniel Case 17:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- We always called meringue cookies "forgotten cookies" in my family, and I'm not the author of the original text in this article, nor am I related to him or her, so do I count as a cite? :) --Jay (Histrion) (talk • contribs) 18:47, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Same here, my family has long made a meringue type cookie we call "Forgotten Cookies" would it help if I supplied a recipe?TripSea (talk) 05:30, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Cleaning up...
[edit]there are two edits near the end that look to be rubbish. One is something called "fartberries" which I am going to nuke, and there's a line at the end that's just totally inappropriate. Bradenmcg (talk) 23:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC) [www.????.com]
Meringue tart?
[edit]I tagged the unsourced statement that meringue tart is a sponge cake. All the recipes that I have seen for meringue tart are tarts, i.e., they are made with pastry not sponge cake. The editor perhaps meant meringue torte? Tortes are sometimes made with sponge cake. On the other hand, meringue torte recipes often use meringue layers instead of cake layers. To me the claim that meringue tart is made with sponge cake might be followed by in my family. In any case, without a proper source, and since prevailing information contradicts it, the claim should be removed. Richigi (talk) 18:34, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
- The picture next to it (File:Meringuetart.jpg) is titled "meringue tart", and it seems to be cake, not pastry. The Art of German Cooking and Baking p. 307 gives a recipe that has neither pastry nor cake. WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:50, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- Sadly, a label on a wiki-image is not a reliable source. The recipe you found is from a self-published source, so also questionable. Anyway, as you pointed out, no cake in that recipe. So, still no evidence to support the claim that a meringue tart is made with sponge cake. Richigi (talk) 06:31, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
Removed alt. name claim from infobox
[edit]Removed the following text from the infobox:
Mer Ringue translates to "Sea Syringe". Suggesting the use of a piping syringe to produce a wave or sea like pattern.
A doubtful claim, and no source is provided. If supported by a reliable source, it belongs in the History section with the rest of the speculation about the origin of the word, not the infobox. Richigi (talk) 19:10, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Merging contents
[edit]Both "Chemistry" and "Compound interaction" sections explain the same process with no relevant difference. I suggest merging them to avoid redundancies. 77.20.140.140 (talk) 20:18, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
