<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Okay, so it's sorta cheating, but for those of us who don't know where the time goes, it's a way to still get the dessert made. Just recently I saw meringues in Costco (in the bakery section) & because there wasn't a complete ingredient listing I copied down the supplier's name & called them. The good news for me was that the starch was cornstarch. These are really good sized meringues, and will save time in producing the yummy dessert recipe Jody posted. Costco seems to have the same food items no matter whether you're in Canada or the States, so hopefully these meringues are in other stores as well. Helen in Vancouver, BC
