Part 8/10:
Napoleon's notorious obsession with chicken took on a life of its own—he reportedly demanded that his staff maintain a supply of cutlets and roast chickens at all times. One famed anecdote involves Napoleon losing his temper over a meal, throwing over the table in frustration before promptly demanding an exact replica of the meal be replaced.
Another story, which took place at the Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, relates to a humorous incident with his bodyguard, Roustan, who pilfered a piece of chicken just before it was served to the emperor. When Napoleon discovered the missing pieces, he expressed his vexation with an unmistakable roar, showcasing both his love for the dish and his notoriously short temper.
