Sorry, Peter. The reviews below the recipe are not all good. At least
one person tossed it without eating. Another salvaged some of it.
Others said they would never use this recipe again. I've never made a
lemon meringue pie, I don't think I've even made *any* pie (my wife is
the baker), but I'm not sure this is a good recipe for the first time.

It's quite common, but not in the US, and I guess not in Italy. I
usually see it as "castor sugar", sometimes called "superfine". I think
it is English. The referenced site is Australian, so that makes sense:
