Napoleon also threw up a lot. He war dumber than the Orange Oligarch about eating. There's a YouTube channel called "Tasting History" which I find fascinating for many reasons, He reconstructs, cooks, and tastes recipes for historical foods. and throws in complementary cultural information. Look for the video on "Chicken Marengo" and check it out if you want to know just how bad his digestion was. I'm not saying this as an excuse - there is no excuse - but you might take some comfort for his horribleness in the way he suffered.
