There were multiple explanations for his cause of death, but the rumors about overeating may have been propaganda. It's also very possible that he was poisoned. Strange story.

consists of a cardamom-spiced wheat bun which has its top cut off, and is then filled with whipped cream, topped with jam. The cut-off top serves as a lid and is dusted with powdered sugar.

YUM. I get it. 14 seems like a lot but anyone who's had the munchies before knows that's downright doable.

Fwiw, that's not the traditional presentation. The traditional is, from bottom to top:

  • spiced bun as quoted, with top cut off
  • almond paste
  • whipped cream (a generous amount)
  • top as a lid, with powdered sugar

I've never seen one with jam, although people go wild with the variations these days.
