"Quite funny that cake is a treat now yet back them she suggested it because they were starving and had no bread."
Cake was an expensive treat back then. She suggested it because she was so utterly out of touch with the ordinary people that she was unable to imagine anybody having no food. |

The French verb to eat cake is kipler.... When guilluame invaded us angles adopted it like many French words we adopted.... Eating cake with our gerald Earl of sandwich and a cup of darjeeling became kipling....the rest as they say is history |

Except she never said it"
I guess that most things that are "common knowledge" from history never happened, or at least not in the precise way we were taught at school. Can you enlarge on the actual truth of the "let them eat cake" story? |
