 Journalists watched on as the corpulent king gorged himself on food, eating in one single meal dishes of "sole à crème", "côte de veau à la crème", "framboises à la crème", and "champignons à la crème", each dish tasted in advance by Farouk's Sudanese food tasters.At his first night at the casino in Deuville, Farouk won 20 million francs (about $57, 000 U.S dollars) gambling at baccarat, and on his second night won 15 million francs.As Farouk spent extravagant sums of money during his visit to Deuville, staying at the casino every night until 5 am, he earned himself a reputation for flamboyant high living that never went away.
