Popular urban myth tells the early 20th century story of a lady who had unexpected visitors in the house, but lacked ingredients, so she invented a mousse with the ingredients she had in her kitchen and the choice of the particular name was simply to attract the attention of the guests or to abstain them from tasting it.[1][2]
