Marie Antoinette: Let NeptuneNavigator2001 eat cake!

I can't help it...I can't help it....
First off, it wasn't cake, it was brioche, slightly better quality bread. This gives the phrase a lot less meaning.
Secondly, the line has been used in print as early as 1760 to show aristrocratic decadence. Supposedly (but not verifyably) it has been heard as early as 1740. Attoinette supposedly said the line in 1789.

Anyway, enough of the history of the phrase, let this party continue as if I'd never interrupted it. That would be best.

Ah, well, it was already over, mostly... And, I wouldn't call that interrupting, Clawandfang. I would call that input. I've never heard that phrase, personally, so I wouldn't know about it. Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: Doh, I didn't even know Dutch Apple pie when I was eating it! *growls* Yeah, I saw the lid for it today... So yeah, that was it, all right!
