A classic French dessert, Mille Feuille goes by different personas in different countries.
North Americans call it Napoléon, people in the United Kingdom call it vanilla slice, and it is also a custard slice in general.
Although the terms Napoléon and Mille Feuille are used interchangeably, they are slightly different.
The former uses almond pastry cream, and the latter uses just regular pastry cream.

Here in the states, people might know mille-feuille as Napoleon. However it actually uses an almond pastry cream making it just different enough, though you can find many names in various countries in the world that also have local variations. Canada calls it gateaux Napoleon or Napoleon slice, and uses almond paste and sometimes replaces the pastry with graham crackers. The name Napoleon is thought to be derived from the more correct term napolitain which means from Naples, and has nothing to do with Napoleon Bonaparte.
