It seems to me that the term "pate a bombe" is commonly used to refer to both a product or ingredient (a sweetened egg foam produced by whippping egg yolks with hot sugar syrup), and to the method by which that product/ingredient is produced (whippping egg yolks with hot sugar syrup). Wouldn't it be correct to say, for instance, that "pate a bombe is an ingredient in some buttercream recipes."

I love this method in making mousses because it is safe with egg as an ingredient. Jacque torres uses this method alot in his books.
