Donald Rumsfeld would love the fact that old Europe has 3 different kinds of meringue. There is a French, Swiss and Italian meringue with Italy winning the gold medal in the meringue olympics. It's a little harder to make but the Italian meringue is more stable and it has a better consistency. Those little canoes are lemon tartlettes with Italian meringue. There's a thin layer of lemon filling under the meringue. The round petit fours are Linzer cookies with jam in between the layers. The remaining treat is a Whiskey Pecan tartlet. Busy day.
