Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo /ˈmɒnti ˈkɑːrloʊ/ (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmonte ˈkarlo]; French: Monte-Carlo or colloquially Monte-Carl, Monégasque: Monte-Carlu) officially refers to an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco, specifically the ward of Monte Carlo/Spélugues, where the Monte Carlo Casino is located. Informally the name also refers to a larger district, the Monte Carlo Quarter (corresponding to the former municipality of Monte Carlo), which besides Monte Carlo/Spélugues also includes the wards of La Rousse/Saint Roman, Larvotto/Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel. The permanent population of the ward of Monte Carlo is about 3,500, while that of the quarter is about 15,000. Monaco has four traditional quarters. From west to east they are: Fontvieille (the newest), Monaco-Ville (the oldest), La Condamine, and Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo (literally "Mount Charles") is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the western end of the quarter is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth". It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris, and the Salle Garnier (the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo).

Monte Carlo (biscuit)

Monte Carlo biscuits are a sweet biscuit that have been manufactured since 1926 by Arnott's Biscuits Holdings.

These biscuits are made with two oval shaped Golden Syrup, honey and coconut biscuits joined by a layer of vanilla flavoured cream covered with raspberry jam. At an average mass of 20.8 grams each, the Monte Carlo is the heaviest biscuit available in Arnott's Assorted Cream product.

They were named after the city of Monte Carlo.

About

Arnott's identified trans fatty acids as an important issue over a decade ago. They then took action to reduce the level of TFAs in their biscuits. They replaced the partially hydrogenated animal fats with vegetable oils. MSG is naturally present in many foods. Monte Carlo products contain added MSG and labels them as flavor enhancers. Arnott's uses sea salt derived from South Australia's evaporating seawater. Lecithin, which is present in Monte Carlo biscuits, comes from soybeans and is a very common emulsifier in many foods.

The film was also hailed by critics as a masterpiece of the newly emerging musical genre. The screenplay was based on the Booth Tarkington novel Monsieur Beaucaire.

When she arrives at the casino a count named Rudolph Falliere takes a liking to her and poses as a hairdresser whom she hires and falls in love with but could not marry if he is a commoner.
