- Going through my cookbooks last night, found an entry that might be of
- interest to *someone*:
-
- *The New Larousse Gastronomique*
-
- The Revised American Edition of The Encyclopedia of Food,
- Wine, and Cookery

-
- *ZABAGLIONE,* SABAYON--A cream mousse of Italian origin
- which is used to coat hot puddings but which can also be
- served in cups or glasses, as a sweet.
-
- [The etymology of the word deleted...]
-
- Beat together in a basin 250 g. (9 oz., generous cup) sugar
- and 6 egg yolks until the mixture forms a 'ribbon'. Flavour
- with 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar, orange, lemon or tangerine
- peel, or vanilla extract.
-
- Add 2(1/2) dl. (Scant (1/2) pint, generous cup) sweet or dry white
- wine. Cook in a _bain-marie_ or in a double saucepan over a
- very low heat, whisking vigrously until the mixture becomes
- frothy and stiff.
-
- [It then continues with variations on _Zabaglion_,
- including...]
-
- *Zabaglione (`a) la kola,* SABAYON (`A) LA KOLA--Prepare some
- _zabaglione_ using port wine. When the mixture begins to
- set, add 2 teaspoons of the following mixture: equal
- quantities of liquid cola extract and liquid coca extract
- flavoured with a littly syrup made from the rind of bitter
- oranges.
-
- This _zabaglione_, which should be eaten very hot, is not
- only a very tasty dessert, but also an excellent medicine.
-
- ===
- And, just to check what this "coca" is they're talking about:
-
- *COCA*--Peruvian shrub, the leaves of which are chewed by
- the Indians. Considered an economical food, its properties
- are due to the effect produced by its alkaloid, cocaine,
- which is as stimulating as tea or coffee.
-
- It is used as an infusion, as a wine, as an elixer, and also
- used as an ingredient of certain cakes.

- The proof of the pudding is left for the reader :*)
