"The dessert has been enjoyed since Medieval times, but the recipe for meringue was not perfected until the 17th century." Food history is not often very good history. This recipe depends upon the common availability of lemons, the idea of pies as desserts and meringue as a topping. We can rule out "Medieval times" for a start. I'd be pleasantly surprised to see a pre-Napoleonic era recipe or description. Anyone?--Wetman (talk) 01:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

In the meringue article, it gives the 1600's as the period that meringue 'was invented' (my term), so I doubt the pie was around long before that. Loggie (talk) 16:16, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
