History
The round pastry, in the form of a wheel, was created in 1910 by Louis Durand, pâtissier of Maisons-Laffitte, at the request of Pierre Giffard, to commemorate the Paris–Brest–Paris bicycle race he had initiated in 1891.[1] Its circular shape is representative of a wheel. It became popular with riders on the Paris–Brest cycle race, partly because of its energising high calorific value, and is now found in pâtisseries all over France.[2]

gollark: I mean, the zim format works okay, but if I was doing it I would save time and just make it a layer over SQLite.
gollark: HTML nodes are *basically* just a```ruststruct Html { name: String, attributes: Map<String, String>, children: Vec<Html>}```so I think that could be pretty compact.
gollark: I don't think so, fair point. It could be done in a VFS, but æ.
