Part 4/15:
The story of cornflakes dates back to 1894 when Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and his brother accidentally allowed boiled wheat to sit out too long. Instead of discarding the stale wheat, they rolled it into flakes, leading to the creation of cornflakes. The product eventually evolved under Will Keith Kellogg’s marketing savvy into the breakfast staple we enjoy today.
Crêpes Suzette
This classic French dessert emerged in 1895 thanks to a young assistant waiter, Henri Charpentier. While preparing a dish for Prince Edward VII, he accidentally ignited the liquor he was using, crafting a flaming dessert that earned the admiration of the prince, who requested it be named after his companion, Suzette.
