Did you know Beef Wellington is actually a “War Crime” against French cuisine? 🥩🇫🇷
Originally, this was a classic French dish called “Filet de bœuf en croûte”.
But after the British defeated Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, they wanted to humiliate the French. ⚔️🇬🇧
So, they stole the recipe and renamed it after the man who crushed Napoleon: The Duke of Wellington!
Imagine forcing French chefs to cook their own national dish, named after their worst enemy.
It’s not just a steak. It’s a delicious act of revenge.
