Wikipedia: Meringue
Meringue (/məˈræŋ/ mə-RANG, French: [məʁɛ̃ɡ]) is a type of dessert or candy, of French origin,[2] traditionally made from whipped egg whites and sugar, and occasionally an acidic ingredient such as lemon, vinegar, or cream of tartar. A binding agent such as salt, flour or gelatin may also be added to the eggs. The key to the formation of a good meringue is the formation of stiff peaks by denaturing the protein ovalbumin (a protein in the egg whites) via mechanical shear.

There were six pies sitting on a shelf. One jumped off onto the floor. One by one, the others followed.
They were lemming meringue pies.

Weirdest thing happened at the bakery this morning.
A pie fell off the shelf, then another and another.
They were lemming meringue pies.
