19th century German nobleman, travel blogger and expert on modern landscape Gardening Fürst Pückler has a type of ice cream named for him though : historymemes

I'm here to ruin the joke: both the Russian and German word for "Emperor" are "named after" Caesar (Czar and Kaiser).

And the salad after Caesar Cardini (Italian immigrant running a restaurant in Tijuana in 1924).

Who was named after Gaius Julius Caesar in one way or another, though.

[–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Technically Sextus, no?

[–] Iceman@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 months ago

Sextus? You barely know us.

Wait until you learn about where the name of the month of July came from.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Or August.

Or Saladuary

Septober

That's not named after Julius Cesar, though.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, but after his adopted son

Who coincidentally liked to call himself "Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus" later in his life.

Subtility didn't run deep in this family.

"Subtlety is my middle name. And also my first and last name in case they miss the point.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Your spelling of Cesar betrays french autocorrect, yet your name German/Alpine. So I'm guessing Swiss?

Yup, at a hotel restaurant that ran out of ingredients during the dinner rush. Kitchen was like

well fuck… Okay, the manager ran to the store but it’ll take him like 15 more minutes to get back. We have an entire floor full of hungry patrons in the meantime. What do we have left? We have some lettuce, anchovies, olive oil, Worcestershire, some lemons, mustard, and a fucking block of Parmesan cheese… Oh I guess we also have some stale bread we could toast… What can we make with this?

Caesar Cardini rolls in his grave again

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

He recently had ball bearings installed. So much smoother now!

[–] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

With the capitalisation as it is it sounds like Gardening Fürst Pückler was an expert on modern landscape, and I respect that 🤗.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

And a cheap pizza chain!
