... a program about one of Napoleon's favorite dishes. Chicken  Marengo.  The program said it remained popular in French cuisine after his death.

 

And still is. It was also one of late French mother's short list of favourites to cook and eat.  The dish was named in Honour of Napoleon after his victory in the Battle of Marengo, Italy.  

 

Rice is certainly eaten (and grown) in France and my mother and grandmother both served it with this dish. Corn is gaining acceptance but still not common.
