Talk:Madame du Barry/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
