Do the Marengo

In 1800 the battle of Marengo took place. Napoleon defeated the Austrians and immediately insisted on a victory meal. His cook searched for whatever edible things he could find, and prepared a chicken dish. Napoleon liked the chicken so much, he demanded it be eaten after every victorious battle. 'Chicken Marengo' is still a popular dish. 'Do the Marengo' has nothing to do with chicken, but rather refers to the act of improvising with the products you have.

Grocery list

Keeping with the Marengo tradition, you can bring whatever expired products available to you.
