Hi all, a question occurred to me as I was reading the St. Macaroon thread.
I grew up calling a sweet mixture of coconut, sugar, vanilla and egg white
mounded into a cookie shape and baked/dried in a very slow oven a Macaroon.
I was only introduced to the almond macaroon about 10 years ago.

My question is: Is the coconut macaroon a Canadian or Western Canadianism
or did others grow up with the same definition of macaroon?

Thanks in advance for slaking my curiosity! ;-)
