Origin[]
Alexandre Étienne Choron was a French chef who invented Choron sauce, a sauce béarnaise enriched with tomato concentrate before reduction. His other act of notoriety was serving dishes made of exotic animals for the bourgeois during the 1870 Siege of Paris. As food supplies shrank, he started serving up the animals from a local zoo in his dishes, and they were delicious. His Christmas feast alone included stuffed head of donkey, elephant consommé, roasted camel, kangaroo stew, bear shanks roasted in pepper sauce, wolf in deer sauce, cat with rat, antelope in truffle sauce and even meat from two elephants.
Effects[]
