Napoleon (Millefeuille)
The Millefeuille, which literally means "thousand layers of pastry," is a combination of layers of puff pastry topped with cheese for a crunchy, smooth texture.
There are two ways of saying that the name Napoleon comes from the Italian word for pastry, Naples, which later evolved into Napoleon, which is one of the English names for Napoleon cake. There is another theory because this cake was originally intended to make a hundred layers, but the final product is only thirty layers, because it is too short, some people will be shorter Napoleon to replace the name, so it has been passed down to the rest of the world.
Napoleon is loved by the French and can be said to top the list of French desserts.
