Egg whites questions

Okay, this will probably sound ridiculous but... could you whip egg whites until stiff (over simmering water mind you), with a dash of, let's say, cocoa powder and some sugar, and just eat like that? Like some sort of fluff/light mousse?

I believe this would make meringue, Swiss meringue to be precise. So certainly not ridiculous at all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meringue

If you then cook that mixture yes, otherwise you are still eating raw egg whites. If that's what you meant by your question?
