This is really embarrassing, but I didn’t know about Wellington. And it’s explains a Woody Allen Movie joke I never got for more than 25 years until now :)
The movie had Napoleon in it and A general was complaining to a chef that his Beef Wellington had to taste better than the Napoleon dessert. I always wondered why they picked beef Wellington lol
lol! You and I are both newbies ‘cause I’m just finding out about him, too! I had heard the name, but I didn’t know any history. It just shows one is never too old to learn and have epiphanies even if just over a scene in a movie and/or a 200 year old battle and its participants. :)
Earlier tonight my FReeper friend informed me that the guards in England with the tall, fuzzy black hats are called the Grenadier Guards. I never knew that! My mom is English! How pathetic is that?
