On the creation of the Marietta:

‘A long time ago there was a Queen who ruled a country called France. Her name was Marie Antoinette. She was a beautiful woman who had come from another country to marry the King of France. She of course was very rich and powerful and lived a life of luxury in a huge palace. The country she ruled was a very rich land with a long history. But one year there was a very bad harvest, which led to famine among her subjects. When the Queen heard about this, she was very upset and asked how this could happen. It was explained to her that because bad weather had destroyed the grain crop, there was no bread for the people to eat.
‘Now, the Queen did not have much experience of the lives of her subjects, having lived all her life in palaces served by many servants. But she did give some thought to the problem facing her people and so arrived at a solution. She called her council and declared she had the solution to the problem of famine in the country – which was beginning to worry the court very much. Her solution was very simple. If the people couldn’t eat bread, then perhaps they should eat cake instead. Her counsellors were very surprised to hear this. The Queen, however, would not be put off. She pointed out that while bread might be scarce, there was certainly a lot of cake available. She argued further, that cake would serve as a very good substitute for bread, citing her own case, where she explained that she could not remember the last time she ate bread.
‘The court was very amused by all this. The Queen was angry that no one would take her seriously. So one day she had her chief baker brought into her presence. She explained the problem of the shortage of bread to him and her solution to this problem. The Queen’s chief baker was a small old man, very learned in the arts of bakery and with many years of experience in producing all kinds of delightful cakes for his royal employers. Unlike many of the royal servants, the old baker was respected by the Queen. It was possible for him, then, to do what no one else dared – or cared – to do, and that to tell Her Majesty that cake was too expensive for the common people. That is, that her starving subjects could not afford to eat cake.
‘The Queen had never reason to consider these matters before. She actually knew practically nothing about the lives of those she ruled. Now, the Queen was very conscious of her rank – and insisted that everyone observe its dignity – but she was not a proud person herself. So it was possible for her to ask for the old baker’s advice. He was very patient with Her Majesty, explaining in detail how bread and cake were made. He also made her aware that there was another kind of baked food, that is the biscuit, in which could be combined the advantages of both bread and cake. This information inspired the imagination of the Queen, who immediately conceived the possibility of designing a biscuit that could feed her people in these straitened times. So the old baker was given the task of producing a new kind of biscuit that could replace bread.
‘Well, the old man was gone for more than a week – a long time in the middle of a famine – and one morning he was shown again into Her Majesty’s presence. He carried a small plate covered with a white muslin cloth. He laid the plate on a little side-table and had it brought forward to the throne. The Queen’s curiosity of course had by now become avid, so much so that she rose to her feet and came closer to the table. The old baker did enjoy this moment of being the centre of attention, for the whole court had fallen silent when the Queen got to her feet. Even so, he was a very wise man and so not seduced by vanities. He simply responded to the Queen’s unfeigned curiosity by drawing away the muslin cloth. On the plate lay a thickish waver that would lie comfortably in the palm of a man. It was the colour of lightly baked crust, with a smooth surface and regular form. The Queen of course could hardly contain herself. She reached to take the biscuit, obviously very curious to taste it.
‘However, the old man leaned forward and laid his hand over the biscuit to prevent this happening. There was a murmur through the court: no one intervened in the action of a French monarch. The baker bowed to demonstrate his humility and begged Her Majesty to listen to what he had to say before she sampled the confection. He spoke in a low voice for the Queen’s ears only. He explained that this miraculous biscuit had been made possible by the existence of a secret ingredient in the universe, described in a very ancient document. Because of this secret ingredient, he told her, eating but one of these biscuits a day would maintain the perfect health and tranquil spirit of any man, woman or child in the realm. But, he whispered to her, this would happen only if that person ate no other food of any kind. If a person should attempt to do this, then the secret ingredient would immediately become a poison that would kill the person in a matter of hours. In other words, he explained, only a starving person could begin to live off these biscuits, for only a starving person would have no other foodstuff in his or her body.
‘The last thing the old baker did was to bow down before the Queen with full ceremony and announce in a louder voice that the biscuit had been named the Marietta in her honour. The Queen appeared to be very flattered by this honour, for she was seen to flush red in response, so that the whole court broke out into loud applause.’

Close enough?

Your round now, Lav - I'll have a large g & t, thank you...

I had to make a Google search just to figure out what you were talking about...

Granted. You get a large Gin and Tonic. It tastes like wet grass, like most other G&Ts. Unlike most other G&Ts, however, this one tastes like wet grass because it actually is wet grass. Enjoy!

I wish for a lifetime supply of delicious energy drinks!

wish granted - unfortunately , when you bite down on the first handfull, the cheese is just this side of molten lava and you burn the inside of your mouth so terribly, you can never taste anything at all, ever again. you could be eating roadkill and it would taste the same as roast beast with all the trimmings...

[bendib]

Everyone loves barbecued raccoon! :^P

I wish I was less weird. :^P

[IgorBrehm]

[E-102 Gamma]

I wish I was less weird. :^P

Granted. But since being less weird is a pretty weird thing for you to do, you're actually weirder now.

I want one of those cakes that lav_coyote25 has been asking for. They sound pretty good...
