According to a popular myth, the dish was first made in the 1800 after Napoleon defeated the Austrian army at the Battle of Marengo, in Marengo south of Turin, Italy when his chef Dunand foraged in the town for ingredients (because the supply wagons were too distant) and created the dish from what he could gather. According to this legend, Napoleon enjoyed the dish so much he had it served to him after every battle, and when Dunand was later better-supplied and substituted mushrooms for crayfish and added wine to the recipe, Napoleon refused to accept it, believing that a change would bring him bad luck. (from Wikipedia)
This dish originally was served with fried eggs and crayfish.
