The myths about C de M will be a long time dying.
I recently read an article in a very serious reference book - I believe it
was the Larousse Gastronomique, though I'm not sure - written by a person
with very serious credentials and fairly recently, and it simply repeated
this as established fact. (The most recent version of the Larousse also
preserves its gratuitously distorted version of what is already a myth about
the croissant being invented at a siege - originally claimed at Vienna, but
per the Larousse at Budapest.)
