A shattered glass case. A destroyed éclair. And one verydetermined French pastry chef.
In this riveting episode, we explore one of history’s mostbizarre and underrated wars—The Pastry War. Set against the turbulent backdrop of 1830s Mexico, this tale of ruined tarts and wounded pride spirals into a full-blown international conflict between France and Mexico. When Monsieur Remontel's bakery is vandalized during a local skirmish, his demand for reparations triggers diplomatic uproar, military blockades, and the bombardment of Veracruz.
What unfolds is a masterclass in 19th-century gunboatdiplomacy, where the scent of fresh croissants lingers alongside the smoke of cannon fire. Through vivid narration and gripping historical insight, this episode reveals how even the smallest grievances—when kneaded into nationalinterests—can rise into war.
Because sometimes, war really is about pastries.
