This dish is the center of a rivalry between Australians and New Zealanders, both of whom claim to have originated it, but recently evidence was discovered that credits New Zealand as its place of origin. They do agree that it was named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova during a visit to both of those countries in the late 1920s. Note: Individual servings may be made by making individual meringues
