    In my travels, I've come across a couple of flavors specific to a famous personage:
    • Mozart - in Vienna, this is the combination of chocolate and pistachio paste (like marzipan)
    • Wilhelmina - across the Netherlands, this is a pastille-type peppermint about twice the diameter of an Altoid
    I'm trying to think of others. Eggs Benedict was not named after Benedict Arnold. Caesar Salad wasn't named after Julius Caesar. A Napoleon is anything layered, not a particular flavor. I don't think I want to count deli sandwiches or Hot Doug's specials.
    What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

    Tournedos Rossini

    Not food but worth adding....the Arnold Palmer and its (unfortunate) cousin the John Daly.

    Eggs Sardou, oysters Bienville and Rockefeller, beef Stroganoff and Wellington, Bismarck (herring and pastry), Kaiser rolls, veal Oscar, General Tso, KungPao, and DongPo . . . .

    Sandwich.

    If you include restaurateurs/ restaurants and (otherwise not famous) customers you really blow up the list (DeJonhge, Delmonico, Iskender, Cobb, Benedict, a la King).

    LOL -- remembering D.B. Kaplan -- loved their menu. Ike and Tina Tuna, Cry me a Liver, The Italian Scallion, Kahlua Bankhead, Chive Turkey, A Brisket A Basket, The Breadless Horseman -- if they couldn't make it amusing, I don't think it was on the menu.
