The history of this dessert is interesting.
The recipe dates from the First World War.
In the Parisian cafés and restaurants they
served a 'Café Viennois'. Because Liège
offered so much resistance to the
German-Austrian offensive, the Café
Viennois was renamed Café Liégeois by
the French authorities. The local accent is
obtained by adding a glass of gin from the
region.
