Pudding for the people: Jacuzzi’s huge mousse
(Picture: Press handout)The first signs of what might be dubbed “the mousse movement” can be traced to November of last year. Parisian restaurant Chez Janou — already popular for its bentwood chairs and vintage posters, for its duck and oysters, for the Frenchness of it all — was the star of a six-second clip showing a waiter, a giant bowl, and a ladle of chocolate mousse. TikTok drooled, and suddenly Chez Janou was a phenomenon, as views of its sweet stuff ticked over nine million views.
The money shot comes after the ceremonial bowl of chocolate goodness is presented to the table, when the mousse is plopped onto a plate by a waiter. What’s better? Diners can have as much they’d like — until they’re either full or feeling nauseous. Chez Janou are tight-lipped on the recipe but say, simply, “in mousse we trust.”
