I’m worried about you.

I think…

If you don’t get all these feelings out in therapy or something…

The main different types of pastries are shortcrust pastry, filo pastry, choux pastry, flaky pastry, rough puff pastry, suet crust pastry and puff pastry, but these can be made to make an endless amount of different delicious pastry snacks.

The Ancient Egyptians created the first example of what we know as pies today. Later on, closer to the 5th Century BC, the Ancient Greeks were believed to invent pie pastry as it is mentioned in the plays of the writer Aristophanes and it was possible to work as a pastry chef in this era, a separate trade to a baker.

Pastries were first brought to Europe during the Muslim invasion of the 7th century and quickly captured the imagination of European chefs. Oddly it wasn’t until about the mid-16th century that actual pastry recipes began appearing in various European countries.

There was actually a pastry War between France and Mexico. During Mexico’s 1821 independence from Spain, the rioting and fighting government forces and rebels led to damaged property. One property involved was French pastry chef Remontel’s bakery near Mexico City. Remontel’s bakery was completely ransacked. The Mexican government, however, refused to compensate Remontel for the damage Mexican police had caused. So, Remontel decided to go to France and French King Louis-Philippe.
At the time, Mexico had unpaid debts to France from the Texas Revolution of 1836, so France was sympathetic to Remontel’s problems. Thus, France demanded 600,000 for Mexico’s unpaid debt and 60,000 for Remontel’s store, although his store was valued at less than 1,000 pesos. When Mexico declined the threat, the French navy began blocking key seaports along the Gulf of Mexico.
From spring of 1838 to Nov. 27, 1838, the two countries were at a stalemate.
But in November, French warships bombarded Mexico and Mexico declared war on France. French marines raided San Juan de Ulúa and captured most of the Mexican navy.
After recruiting disgraced military general Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, Mexico drove French forces back to their ships. The Pastry War ended less than four months later. Eventually, British diplomats created a peace agreement between the two countries and Mexico agreed to pay France 60,000 pesos.

Fred the Baker was Dunkin’ Donuts’ pitchman for over 15 years, through the ‘80s (when the white powder-covered baker was ultra perky) until 1997, when he had an official retirement ceremony and the company gave out a free donut to every customer in his honor. His catchphrase, “Time to Make the Donuts!” Is one of the most recognized slogans in the world.
