Normally when someone makes that kind of remarks, the subconscious intent is that we can further enrich rosters of lunch options with abundant Japanese purchasing power, than that we can actually replace rice with something more however rational. So it sort of amounts to modern day let them eat cakes quote - which wasn't crazy as it sounds with context at the time that cakes were supposed to be cheaper than plain breads, if it weren't for famine.
- IAmBroom 1y agoThe apocryphal quote is "Qu’ils mangent de la brioche" - "Let them eat brioche", a rich, egg-laden bread. But it translates less well than "cake". Interestingly, similar quotes seem to have been attributed to other royalty of other countries, well before the revolution.
