Brioche are those cute little puff-type pastries with a little ball of pastry on top. Only found in royal dining rooms.

The complaint was that the masses had no bread to eat. Her response was 'well, then eat your pastries in the meantime until you baker delivers your bread'.

I knew the story, but not that it was brioche. That makes it even more elitist.

*But they sound yummy.......time for dessert!
