Jordan Bardella, leader of France’s far-right National Rally party, was hit on the head with an egg Saturday, just days after another incident in which a protester threw flour at him.
Bardella was at an event in Moissac, southwest France, to promote his latest book when a man broke the egg on his head.
The suspected attacker, a 74-year-old man, was arrested and taken into custody for violence against a public official, prosecutor Montauban Bruno Sauvage told AFP.
Milk and sugar next week.
Free Crepes.
Or cake
nods or cake.
The 74 year-old is a hero and remembers what his parents said about the fucking Nazis and Vichy French.
74 year old badass.
Next is milk, then sugar, then you beat him thoroughly and put him in the oven.
Custard’s last stand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_cake or as French call it, quarte quarts
Quatre quarts. Or “four quarters”.
And this, is already too much maths for Bardella
Add in some stale bread, and then forget all about him for some ‘pain perdu’.
Operation dessert storm
Just need sugar and we gotta cake to let us eat!
Whoa, the Eat The Rich people are serious.
Gotta make them edible enough first. Need some seasoning.
I’m sorry but this is fucking hilarious
I’m desperate to know what will be next. Jam? Chocolate spread? Cream?
I hope every political argument devolves into food being thrown eventually.
Pelt him with grapes: not big enough to do much damage, but in the right quantities, it’ll get the point across
The point: “stop wine-ing”?
Just going down the ingredients list until they toss him in an oven to bake until golden brown.
clearly they are trying to turn him into a cake so next will probably be the butter
I can’t understand if I should praise aiming skills or if the egg was cracked up close and personal. Tried to check in the article and saw what Bardella made of it:
The more we make progress, the closer we get to power, the more the violence from the far left, intolerance and pure stupidity are unleashed
For fuck’s sake, he just barely survived an assassination no less
When they get all melodramatic about flour, eggs, sandwiches being tossed at them, don’t they realize how pathetic they sound acting like these acts are in and of themselves just horrible violance?
America: throw a whole pre-made sandwich at a cop
France: individually throw every ingredient to make every part of a sandwich from scratch
I really hope they make a Croque Monsieur with this pig.
I was thinking a Monte Cristo, because the hot oil would be satisfying. But I guess they’re essentially the same thing.
Escroc Monsieur
I’m appalled at all these people who condone throwing flour and eggs at politicians. Everyone knows that the egg goes first, because it helps the flour stick.
Is it a tradition to throw eggs or flour at politicians in France? If so, it is a good tradition.
I think people have been throwing produce for a long time in general. But there’s a list of stuff thrown at politicians on wiki

I’m partial to the Australian “egg boy” because a ska band wrote a song about it
I guess next would be milk.
You can’t eat your cake and have it too
You can, through the magic of buying two of them.
But how would one wash the dish? Surely not with a dishwasher pod?
Thank you for getting the idiom right. To all of the folks who think you can’t have your cake and eat it too, you most certainly can. You have to “have” it before you can “eat” it. But you most definitely can’t eat your cake and then still have it, which is the meaning of the idiom and the correct way to say it.
I’ve never fully understood this phrase because don’t you have a cake by eating it?
“what did you eat last night?” “I had a cake instead of dinner”
“I have a cake (in my possession)” as opposed to “I’m having / I had a cake (for a meal)”. Perhaps the less ambiguous phrasing would be “…and keep it too” – the nuance is probably academic at this point – but proverbs tend to be stubborn.
Once you eat the cake, you don’t have the cake anymore. “Have” showing possession, not “to eat”.
I’ve heard of slow cooking, but this is next level stuff.
Flour, egg. It’s time for a pie
It’s France so it’s definitely cake
Last time someone in France let people eat cake, it didn’t go too well for them.
Brioche?
No, they are still missing the butter and sugar.
Give it time. Its a slow recipe, but I trust the French to follow through if its a protest.
