The same story is told about German emperor Friedrich. I doubt both versions.
Loool same story here in Greece about the first head of state of indipendent Greece (Ioannis Kapodistrias). What was going on 200years ago?
Potato theft apparently
Petty potato pilfering.
I never heard about that version, but the Parmentier one is quite well known.
Funny, other way around for me.
I guess it depends on which country you’re from :P
