No, that's not me. It's (a slightly more hirsute) Heston Blumenthal demonstrating the method I wrote about last week to make mousse from just chocolate and water.

That is fantastic, also gets around the problem of people being funny about the raw eggs in traditional mousse.

Now I want to know how this tastes!! Interesting video; I wouldn't think it was possible to make with just water, but... I am gonna try!

I did believe you but seeing heston is always nice - the man is a legend.

Hmm, ok I believe you (although I didn't really doubt). And I'm also very impressed you managed to use a word like 'hirsute' in a short entry about chocolate mousse. Well done. Have you heard of the website "Save the Words" (http://www.savethewords.org)? You can adopt a word that's hardly ever used any more, and there are some pretty great ones that have gone sadly out of fashion... :-)

I believed you after the first post, but I am going to give it a go tomorrow I think...I was telling friends about it at dinner last night, and they didn't believe me, so I have sent them the link, they thought I was mad and I had to try to remember the science behind it. Fingers crossed it works for me too!
