August 15 Lemon Meringue Pie Day

August 15 Lemon Meringue Pie Day is observed annually. Lemon meringue pie is one of the most famous lemon desserts, and it’s really no wonder, considering its crispy golden crust, tangy custard center and fluffy meringue topping.

It is sure that the pie originated in Victorian England, where it was sometimes known as Lemon Chester Pudding.
Lemon flavored custards, puddings and pies have been enjoyed since medieval times, but the art of the actual meringue was perfected in the 17th century, and lemon meringue pie is a 19th-century product.
