I donno if you read my last post, but I now have to make "medicinal food" for our guests.
So, I found this recipe, right. "chocolate mousse" they call it...
Ingredient number 1: ripe avocados
stop right there. hold the phone.
AVOCADO does NOT belong in chocolate mousse, it's a VEGETABLE, wait, no, it's a FRUIT. Wait. Um. You SEE? You seeeee what I MEAN? It's got NO business being in a chocolate mousse, it doesn't even fit into a category, I mean, it's delicious, in salad, or on toast, but not in a chocolate mousse. Where do they get off calling something, with avocado in it, a "chocolate mousse".
Ingredients number 2 and 3 were slightly less controvercial, but get a load of THIS... sugar free cocoa powder, how in the name of all things holy are you supposed to make a chocolate mousse, with NO sugar, no chocolate... and AVOCADO.
Urrgh
Nigella Lawson has chocolate mousse DOWN, yeah she does. My friend Nicky and I used to be big fans, and when we were bored, or in denial about pending exams, we would have Nigella Lawson watching marathons and one of our favourite lines is when she's making chocolate brownies, she dumps in 1kg of chocolate chips and says:
"Sooooome people might think that a kilogram of chocolate is excessive, but IIIIII don't like to put a price on the alleviation of human suffering"... hahaha, what a beaut
So, fancy pants, if you want to suffer, then sugar-free, chocolate-free, mousse-free, avocado flavoured "chocolate mousse" it will BE
