Seated with imperial indifference, he watched the flames dance across the horizon, all the while savoring the robust, meaty flavor of a well-cooked meatloaf. The juxtaposition was jarring: the city’s destruction paired with the delicate savor of the loaf, a bite of normalcy amidst chaos. Historians would later speculate whether it was the meatloaf’s hearty embrace that steeled Napoleon against the sight of his beloved Paris in distress.
