Multicultural Mayhem
When You Think You Know What They Said ... and Meant
Part 4
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3 4

If you've learned a second language you know all about cookie, little cake, sweet bread, petit four, pan dulce, pastry, pie, tart, and so forth. The Mexicans put chocolate on their tamales. The French have a cake with no leavening. Shepherd's pie is not sweet. The German "cookie" Pfeffernusen is a hard little rock of a thing flavored with Anise, which the Greeks use for liquor, and the French have a dessert called "a nun's fart."

Cake, when not referring to the packaging of an item, is a sweet luxury and, more importantly not nourishing. Further, it's an insult to tell someone to get a luxury when they don't have a necessity. "Yours car's broken down again? Well, just bring the Porsche."

Bread is the staff of life, very symbolic, and "let" is "hortatory", what we call urging or demanding, as when the ringmaster at the Barnum & Bailey circus says (what a thrill we get) "Let the circus begin!" Marie Antoinette might have meant "Then they must have bread!" (I'm still researching, but I doubt her statement was as flippant and uncaring as it sounds, having worked with the homeless myself.)

But here's yet another twist. Supposedly she used the word "brioche," which is now a divine sort of bun, but was originally a flour-and-water paste that was "caked" onto the interior of ovens of the professional boulangers of the era. (Somewhat like the oil and flour we put in non-teflon cake pans). At the end of the day, the baker would scrape the leavings from his pans and ovens and set them out back for beggars.

This is not unlike "hush puppies" -- the unneeded portion of dough being tossed into the oil the meat was fried in to make a tasty treat for the dogs.

If she meant this, does that make it any better? This might be equivalent to saying the unpopular, but quite practical, "They're starving. Well, tell them about the Soup Kitchen at 4th and Vine."

We'll never know what she actually said, it seems, nor what she meant.

I guess the only way to know for sure is to ask someone at the time. Not a bad a idea.
