Yeah, I thought of that thread when I was starting this one. And also the odd culinary preference for milt (fish semen). Foodies are just weird.

But I can’t help but notice a distressing lack of volunteers for answering my question. Not even the foodies. I’m not equipped to do this on my own, people. Where’s your love for Science? For Exploration? For Bragging Rights?

Get in there and make those meringues!

How much, uh, product, is needed? My guess is more than one person could, uh, provide. It may take a few of us to contribute to the cause. In that case, would you be the one to, um, validate the result?

You can’t fool me! This is a Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Urgh. Why did I open this thread? Why???

That said:

1. there is such a thing as a chocolate meringue. [You add cocoa to the beaten egg whites.](http://allrecipes.com/recipe/10751/chocolate-meringue-cookies/). That should cover the odd coloring well enough.

I would advise against using chocolate chips as that link specifies, though… otherwise you’d wonder whether that chewy bit was chocolate, or a clot ::::where’sthebarfsmileywhenyouneedit?::::

Off to google the chickpea-based substitute, as I’m pretty sure a hemoglobin-based version would offend any ovo-lacto-vegetarian friends.
