Mille-feuille a French word is translated literally ‘thousand leaves’, referring to the fine layers of puff pastry.
In the UK the most common version contains thick cream or custard (and sometimes jam as well) plus a feathered decorative icing, when it is is often given the name Cream, Vanilla or Custard Slice.
This pâtisserie is relatively simple to make, especially as if uses ready made puff pastry (make your own if you wish), with the pastry layers made in advance and the layering done within an hour or so of eating to avoid losing the crispness.
In my version of the recipe I have substituted my own lemon curd (still lemony but milder), sugaring the strawberries well to counteract their natural sharpness.
Thinking further, it would be interesting to try some more combinations using curd and cream mixtures with fruit: orange curd would go well with apricot and lime curd with stem ginger and both could have added chocolate shavings, for example.
If the curd was omitted and the cream was increased then flower flavourings such as rosewater or orange flower water would be delicious in combination with fruit.

Abroad, it is its very name that raises doubts: in English, Nordic or Slavic countries, the mille-feuille refers to the first name "Napoleon".
More than a reference to the emperor, it would come from the French adjective "napolitain" and from one of the supposed origins of the cake, the city of Naples.
