French cuisine, or rather “the French gastronomic meal” made an object of “intangible cultural heritage,” impacted much of Western history, like it or not.
Here’s an artistic rendition that could be of the Constantinople Agreement, or carving up of Turkey by the French and British in 1915, showing how cuisine can be used as a metaphor — it’s a plum pudding (apparently dating to 1805 and “Napoleon’s attempted accord with the U.K. in 1805”) but so what; I liked the picture and what it could represent as well as what it actually does represent:
Have an interesting Thanksgiving!

I ran into this illustration on another site and they described it thus. Thanks for the heads up — even if your source is Wikipedia. The original source is the Library of Congress, Prints & Photographs Division, LC-USZC4-8791.
Except it is not a turkey, it is a plum pudding and the event satired is Napoleon’s attempted accord with the U.K. in 1805.
