Remember Marie Antoinette! Nancy!

‘Let them eat cake’ - the meaning and origin of this phrase
https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/let-them-eat-cake.html
It is widely attributed to Marie-Antoinette (1755-93), the Queen consort of Louis XVI. She is supposed to have said this when she was told that the French populace had no bread to eat. The original French is ‘Qu’ils mangent de la brioche’, that is, ‘Let them eat brioche’ (brioche is a form of cake made of flour, butter and eggs).
