Adolphe Dugleres' Menu

Origin
Adolphe Dugleres (1805 - 1884) was a French chef who cooked a banquet for King William I of Prussia. Present at the feast was King William I, Tsar Alexander II of Russia, his son and Prince Otto von Bismarck. Working all night Dugleres brought forth a menu listing sixteen courses and eight wines which took eight hours to serve.

Effects
Out of all of the patrons the most gluttonous one was Tsar Alexander II who almost destroyed the banquet hall out of anger when foie gras wasn't available. Acting quickly Dugleres informed him that since it wasn't custom in French cuisine to eat foie gras in June it wasn't available. Oddly enough the Tsar went from completely enraged to calm in moments and in that moment it was thought that his menu absorbed the rage and gluttony.

Trivia
The cost of the meal was 400 francs per person, which adds up to $10,000 a person in 2016 conversion rates.
