=== Deschamps ===
French writer [[Émile Deschamps]] claims in his memoirs that, in 1805, he was treated to some [[plum pudding]] by a stranger named Monsieur de Fontgibu. Ten years later, the writer encountered plum pudding on the menu of a Paris restaurant and wanted to order some, but the waiter told him that the last dish had already been served to another customer, who turned out to be de Fontgibu. Many years later, in 1832, Deschamps was at a dinner and once again ordered plum pudding. He recalled the earlier incident and told his friends that only de Fontgibu was missing to make the setting complete—and in the same instant, the now-[[senile]] de Fontgibu entered the room, having got the wrong address.<ref>{{cite web|title=Œuvres complètes de Émile Deschamps : III : Prose : Première partie|last=Deschamps|first=Émile|publisher=[[Alphonse Lemerre]]|location=Paris|date=1873|pages=262–265|url=https://archive.org/details/oeuvrescompltes03descgoog/page/n268/mode/2up|via=Internet Archive|access-date=16 March 2024|language=fr|trans-title=The Complete Works of Émile Deschamps : III : Prose : First part }}</ref>
