I love lemon meringue pie, to the point of having it for my birthday
cake sometimes (not the pale immitations that use gelatine in the lemon
filling, the real thing that uses egg yolks and condensed milk).

Lemon bars are among my absolute favorites too.

These all have some similarities to lemon curd, which is mostly an
ingredient in other things.
