An air-stable edible solid foam product includes at least one sweetener. In some embodiments, the air-stable edible solid foam is free of a whipping agent, and the foaming occurs by vacuum expansion. In some embodiments, the air-stable edible foam product includes at least one proteinaceous whipping agent derived from a plant source and the foaming occurs by whipping. A method of enhancing a beverage includes contacting a solid foam beverage enhancer including at least one sweetener and at least one flavoring agent to the beverage and disintegrating the solid foam beverage enhancer in the beverage within a predetermined period of time. Methods of making an air-stable edible solid foam product are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a device for dosing into a container (2) a pasty food product including solid pieces and a sauce. The device comprises an metering nozzle (1) comprising a main outlet to which the pasty food product with solid pieces is provided by a first channel (13) of the nozzle (1), and at least two peripheral outlets situated at a periphery of the main outlet to which the sauce is provided by corresponding second channels (14). The device comprises a support (3) for holding a container (2) to be filled from the nozzle (1), and is configured so that the metering nozzle moves, relative to the support (3), following a path around a central axis of said support. A corresponding system and a method are also provided.
