RE: Poulet Marengo
This started out as an item on an 1862 menu from Willard's Hotel, and the history behind it is related to Napoleon Bonaparte. I have always chuckled at the hint of a bulging belly on the Emperor that appears in the famous photo of him with his hand in his vest. Wonder if Poulet Marengo contributed to the expanding waistline?
