The origin of mousse

[ Follow Ups ]a> ] [ The Bakers Dozen ]

Posted by Richard in Hawaii on October 21, 1998 at 15:20:23:

I would appreciate very much any information related to the following:

What is the origin of mousse?
When did it first appear on the culinary scene?
Was its beginning related to the foam of poured chocolate or coffee?
Did it begin with whipped cream or with eggwhites?
Any ideas when the first chocolate mousse and mousse of non-sweetened foodstuffs first appeared...and where?
Can you direct me to any references for further pursuit of mousse's history and
recipes.
Aloha and Mahalo,
