Isn’t that named after Naples though?
There’s indeed a cake called Napoleon, which is not invented by Napoleon. I know at least in Russia and China, this cake is known by the name of Napoleon cake.
Legend has it that the name originates from the Napoleonic war with Russia and since people have to throw the cake to the ground (table?) to break the sugar layer on top of it and thus the Russian people call it Napoleon so that they are breaking Napoleon.
I see no mention of this etymology elsewhere, so take this with a grain of salt.
That’s not Fürst Pückler, that’s Napoleon!

For a moment I imagined Napoleon having a finer taste in ice creams
But… why does that look like vanilla though? I iz too dumb for this meme?
Edit: damn, apparently I need to get my laptop monitor cleaned, or checked, or something! :-P
I think its the good stuff without food coloring
*it’s
no idea how but it looked white to me until the colour appeared
Well, now I’m back on my original device (laptop), and I see the color too. Maybe it was legit white there for a bit, like a partial file upload that somehow finished?
Surely that’s it. All the other comments, all the upvotes for my comment, yes, all the evidence points to that. Indeed. Surely. Indubitably.
… and yet. I prefer the alternative facts explanation that I am simply a crazy person:-P.
Spumoni > Neapolitan. Fite me.
Unfortunately, it’s near impossible to find in the US
The old spaghetti factory still serves it
That’s a good point. I only have it once a year, because there’s one specific Italian restaurant I go to that gives you a free meal on your birthday and includes spumoni for dessert. I’ve never actually noticed it available anywhere else.
Is it The Old Spaghetti Factory? Childhood memory unlocked…
No, although I wish we still had an OSF around here because I miss the mulligatawny soup. The place with the spumoni is a local chain called Provino’s.
Je suis Neapolitan!
Ooh la lá!
i don’t think it has anything to do with him though
Indeed not because it’s a shitpost sub; it’s Neapolitan not Napoleon, Neapolitan meaning of Naples, Italy, they could have also used a Mille Feuille which we call a Napoleon in the US that he also didn’t have anything to do with except they were popular in fancy shops during his reign.
Are You trying to cancel him?
He posted some racist shit on MySpace once.
Ohh no, given enough time even the ideas will die.
I hope it does die…
