How do YOU eat a napoleon?

I use a cake fork - you know, those little forks that have a prong that looks like a small knife. Makes it very easy.

As always having problem with posting pictures.

Aha, looks like it worked. It is my Napoleon. It is the size of the commercial baking sheet. Do not remember how many layers, but it is really heavy. I can barely hold it.

Good Morning,

I too, have called it a Mille Feuille however, in the USA it is called a Napolean.

Thanks for posting that photo of the Danish Napolean Hat Pastries ...

As English is the 2nd or 3rd language of most Corporate workers, the names of things have been changing and thus, this is perhaps why many things have more than one name.

Another point is that everyone is studying English now; and depending if one´s English Teacher is British or Canadian, American, and lesser Irish or Australian, can also have an effect on the vocabulary and names of foods etcetra ...


Kind regards,
Margi.

How do YOU eat a napoleon?

With my mouth of course!!

I haven't had one in so many years. Mom would pull the top layer off and flip it over so the flakey cake was up. Less messy that way.

I really want to make these from scratch.

Napoleon is the easiest thing to make.

The last time I made it, it came out kind of watery-loo'd.

Did not cook the cream long enough or didn't add enough flour
