    I’m here to ruin the joke: both the Russian and German word for “Emperor” are “named after” Caesar (Czar and Kaiser).

      And the salad after Caesar Cardini (Italian immigrant running a restaurant in Tijuana in 1924).

          Your spelling of Cesar betrays french autocorrect, yet your name German/Alpine. So I’m guessing Swiss?

      Yup, at a hotel restaurant that ran out of ingredients during the dinner rush. Kitchen was like

      well fuck… Okay, the manager ran to the store but it’ll take him like 15 more minutes to get back. We have an entire floor full of hungry patrons in the meantime. What do we have left? We have some lettuce, anchovies, olive oil, Worcestershire, some lemons, mustard, and a fucking block of Parmesan cheese… Oh I guess we also have some stale bread we could toast… What can we make with this?

    With the capitalisation as it is it sounds like Gardening Fürst Pückler was an expert on modern landscape, and I respect that 🤗.
