He recently had ball bearings installed. So much smoother now!
And a cheap pizza chain!
How about a calendar?
And a code cipher
Pückler Eis sucks tho
How about the Earl of Sandwich. That rocks
I learned recently that Caesar Salad was invented in Mexico.
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?
It is a good salad though
Wait until you learn about where the name of the month of July came from.
Julia Roberts??
Julie Andrews, close though
Or August.
Or Saladuary
Septober
That's not named after Julius Cesar, though.
Your spelling of Cesar betrays french autocorrect, yet your name German/Alpine. So I'm guessing Swiss?
Poepleguessr
No, but after his adopted son
Who coincidentally liked to call himself "Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus" later in his life.
Subtility didn't run deep in this family.
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).
Who was named after Gaius Julius Caesar in one way or another, though.
Technically Sextus, no?
You forgot the smoothies
With the capitalisation as it is it sounds like Gardening Fürst Pückler was an expert on modern landscape, and I respect that 🤗.
I don’t get the first one
Simon Bolivar & Bolivia?
