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
