@@NexTime00 “To start with, we undertook a forensic examination of both the Kiwi and Australian legends, and new facts [were] quickly revealed that flip the narrative completely,” Utrecht said. “By the 18th Century, large meringue constructions incorporating cream and fruit elements could be found in aristocratic kitchens across German-speaking lands, so the thing we call a pavlova today is actually more than two centuries old.” "Soon, she said, women in middle-class European kitchens began creating meringue cakes topped with whipped cream, nuts and fruit or fruit preserves. Utrecht said Europe was in turmoil with the Napoleonic wars in the 1800s and when people moved and settled in other lands, the pavlova-like desserts went with them. “By 1860 you can find it in Great Britain, Russia and North America,” she said. “I have made a couple of cakes from 1850 that I have served to guests and asked what it was, and they say pavlova. But I tell them it’s not, it’s a schaum torte, which means ‘foam cake’ in German.” Utrecht said recipes for shaum torte arrived in South Australia in the lead-up to World War Two, when there was a large influx of German immigrants."
