There is only french champagne. It's named after the region it comes from. Anything else is just sparkling white. Ok It may be very expensive and good sparkling white, but its not champagne.

Did they pay Orson in product prior to his doing that commercial.

"She keeps the Moet et Chandon in a pretty cabinet.
Let them eat cake, she says; just like Marie Antoinette."

And now at last we know what the words of that song were all about. The lady in question had Orson Wells coming for a visit. Keep that pretty cabinet locked, darlin', and have PLENTY of cake on hand...!

When Marie Antoinette said "Let them eat cake", she was not referring to a sweet treat as we think of it. "Cake" as it was back then was a very poor substitute for real bread. And in a bread shortage throughout France for the masses, this led to her resolution of the matter by saying to the populace very coldly: "Let them eat cake".

And in a bread shortage throughout France for the masses, this led to her resolution of the matter by saying to the populace very coldly: "Let them eat cake".


Though nowadays nobody really believes she actually said "let them eat cake" at all. The phrase comes from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who attributes to an un-named princess the lines:

"Enfin je me rappelai le pis-aller d’une grande princesse à qui l’on disait que les paysans n’avaient pas de pain, et qui répondit : Qu’ils mangent de la brioche. 'J’achetai de la brioche.' "

"Finally I recalled the worst-recourse of a great princess to whom one said that the peasants had no bread, and who responded: 'Let them eat brioche...' "

He wrote it before she ever first came to France. It was long after the event a bit of imaginative journalistic license to re-attribute the words to her - after she was dead and not able comment. I have absolutely no axe to grind for Marie Antoinette - just need to depose her for the right reasons, not the wrong ones.

Brioche is extremely tasty as it happens. A shedload more work to make than bread and very bad for our cholesterol... :D

Cheers - C

There's no bread, let them eat cake
There's no end to what they'll take
Flaunt the fruits of noble birth
Wash the salt into the earth

They're marching to bastille day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize

-- Rush (Bastille Day)
