"Contrary to the way he is depicted in the movie, mooning over a lady from Louis XIV´s glamorous court, Vatel preferred boys. (Cecilia Ruiz de Ríos, Nicaraguan historian.)"
This is the first time I've heard this particular statement. Is there another reliable source apart from Cecilia Ruiz de Ríos' webpage (I loved her article on "LADYKILLER POR EXCELENCIA: ADOLFO HITLER")?

Likewise, I have not heard this. Unless anyone has a actual reference by a contemporary, or some well documented historical scholarship, this statement should be removed. -- 66.45.58.228 20:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
There are several legends regarding the invention of this cream. There is a castle near Paris called Vaux Le Vicomte , where Vatel used to work before going to Chantilly, and where we learn that the cream was invented there, for a party thrown by Fouquet to impress the king.
Later, when Vatel served the cream on Chantilly castle, the king would have named it "Chantilly Cream".
