funketeer Posted November 6 Author Report Share Posted November 6 I had heard of crepes burning in France...It was over a hundred years ago, the place was the Cafe de Paris in MonteCarlo, and the dish was a mistake made by a fifteen year-old, who waspreparing a dessert for Edward,the Prince of Wales. However, the Prince gallantly suggested there was a ladypresent, the young daughter of one of the men at his table. Her namewas Suzette. Whynot call the dish Crepes-Suzette?These french motherfuckers don't fuck around, on July 14th, between eight and nine hundred Parisians, mostly women, gathered in front of that medieval fortress, the Bastille. They were looking for weapons and gunpowder. They stormed the prison – 98 were killed and 73 wounded. Although the Bastille contained no hoped-for weapons, the FALL OF THE BASTILLE served, and has always served, as a great symbol of the Revolution itself. To many, it seemed there was now no turning back.Fucked up, hu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
