The meringue should be home made, firm but still a tad squidgy in the
middle; a few earthquake cracks on the surface are acceptable but there
should not be any oozing syrup leaks.

The fruit should be fresh and preferably slightly acid(strawberries or
raspberries ideal) to contrast with the sweet meringue and bland cream;

the cream should be real fresh cream not that godawful spraycan stuff,
beaten till it holds shape but not stiff.
