The mystery of the croque en bouche

John Oliver the American late-night talk and news satire presenter on HBO had a hilarious take on the tragic events of last Friday in Paris. Not about the dead but the perpetrators. Who basically can’t win because the French have invented the croque en bouche. The strange thing is, despite its French name, this confectionary is not called croque en bouche in France, but pièce montée, traditionaly served at weddings.
