Chicken Marengo
Chicken Marengo is originally thought to have been created in the North Italian village of Marengo to celebrate the victory of Napoleon’s invading army in 1800, during the period before he crowned himself Emperor of France.
At this time, tomatoes were a new delicacy, introduced from the Americas, and used to as a base for the chicken which was simmered with garlic, mushrooms and red wine and served with rice.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
