    You see when I order key lime pie, I’d like the key lime pie to be the star of the show. Since that’s what I ordered.

    Not some insanely stupid amount of meringue.

    If I ordered pie and it came with that much whipped cream I’d be happy, but that much merengue is a crime.

    Did you enjoy the side of Key Lime pie that came with the basketball-sized serving of meringue?

    Classic case of “just because you can do a thing it doesn’t mean that you should.”

  5. That’s not key lime pie. That’s a key lime sailboat.

    Gonna have to tack that thing pretty hard to bring it to port.

  6. So here’s the thing, when you make Keylime pie, you use 5 egg yolks, which means you have 5 egg whites left over. That makes so much meringue, like easily a gallon in volume. I can definitely understand a restaurant making giant meringue Keylime pie their thing.

    If that slice of Keylime pie had no meringue at all, it would still probably be worth it, since it is yellow and has what looks like homemade graham cracker crust (hard to see, but it’s there). And also assuming that they used actual Keylime juice (and not “Key West lime juice,” which seems to be some kind of citric potion that tastes similar to Keylime juice, but makes me irrationally angry, as a former South Floridian).
