For some time, there has been a tempest-in-a-teapot controversy between Australia and New Zealand as to where the meringue dessert called “pavlova” originated. Today, it is agreed generally that a pavlova is a meringue-based confection and that its name was chosen to honor the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. She visited Australia and New Zealand in 1926 and Australia in 1929 and, in both countries, captivated audiences with her performances. They remembered her especially for her solo dance The Dying Swan in Swan Lake, a dance created especially for her by Michel Fokine in 1905.
