Not disputing this (perhaps different brand/type/recipe) but I have made aquafaba meringues before and was very impressed, didn’t taste of chickpeas at all to me, just like a meringue texture/sugar wise without the 'egginess'.
I once made vegan tiramisu for a friend using aquafaba made from boiled dry chickpeas, and the sweet/chickpea flavor tasted exactly like the worst kind of vomit-burp imaginable. It is one of probably 2 or 3 of several thousand meals I've ever cooked that I threw directly into the bin after having another person confirm the flavor.
