"Surprise the family with delicious Grape-Nuts mousse". I'll say. It's an Italian meringue with cream, grape nuts, and vanilla beaten in, then frozen.
Sounds like an upscale (or at least would-be upscale) version of grape-nut custard, which is still very much a New England thing.
New England foodways can get weird sometimes, says this expat southerner. Our small local area is a mixture of old-line Yankee "black pepper is an exotic spice" people, and Francophones who are firm believers in good cheese and good wine and well-seasoned meat. The IGA, fortunately, caters to both, and the owner will give almost anything a try, and if it sells, keep on stocking it.
(The current experiment appears to be kimchee. We're doing our best to encourage him to keep it.)
