More information about this article... The following comments have been left for this page: Many years ago at Catering College, I recall being informed that Madame du Barry inspired the 'haute cuisine' dish - 'Choufleur du Barry' - and believe the dish is included within 'Le repertoire De la Cuisine' by L Saulnier - the bible of 'haute cuisine'. Supposedly, Madame du Barry started the fasion of wearing tall white 'wigs' as a coutesan and 'Choufleur (caulifower) du Barry' is culinary tribute in memory of this style of wig.

Q: in the page on Marie Antoinette, it says her influence over Louis XV was "absolute", but here it says "limited", which is it? (moved from page)

She didn't have a lot of political power over Louis XV but when she decided about what to do with certain individuals, she was "absolute" in giving her opinion... like what she did to Duke de Choiseul. Lincher 14:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Either she was executed by stoning or by guillotine. Which was it?68.72.109.168 17:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
