What does BOMBE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A frozen dessert, usually built from ice cream, set and turned out from a dome-shaped mould.
A bombe gets its name from the rounded, dome-shaped mould it is set in, a shape early cooks thought resembled an old cannonball. Layers of ice cream, sorbet or mousse are packed into the mould and frozen solid, then the bombe is turned out onto a plate and sliced to reveal rings of colour and flavour inside. Pastry chefs sometimes fill the centre with cake crumbs, custard or fruit before freezing, adding another layer to the finished bombe. The same word occasionally describes furniture with a similarly swollen, bulging outline.
