**[The idea for the name 'No Bread? Eat Cake!' came from Marie Antoinette, and her famous quote, "Let them eat cake!"
However, Marie Antoinette never actually said those words... '"It was said 100 years before her by Marie-Therese, the wif
e of Louis XIV," Fraser explains. "It was a callous and ignorant statement and she [Marie Antoinette] was neither." Truth be known, the attribution is doubly erroneous in English, because the word "cake" is a mistranslation. In the original French the alleged quote reads, "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche," which means, literally, "Let them eat rich, expensive, funny-shaped, yellow, eggy buns." You can see why it caught on." (-biographer Lady Antonia Fraser, who spoke on the subject at the 2002 Edinburgh Book Fair.)
