Ah, profiteroles! An exquisite choice! I would be most happy to serve as "friend" to either of the parties simply to be part of this affaire d'honoeur.

It should be noted that the last recorded duel involving profiteroles was in 1747 in Ballyfungus, County Donegal. Acting in a oafish manner the Baron Oatmele insulted the wife of Sir Hugh Mac Hugh ("THE Mac Hugh") by more-than-implying that the lady's second daughter by her first marriage, Caitleen O'Neill, had been instructed by the lady to be come "close friends (wink, wink)" with the Hereditary Elector of Ducky-Swanstein in the hopes that the Elector would "come through" with money to assist the lady in paying off the gambling debts she'd accumulated at Dublin's notorious Heckfire Club. Sir Mac Hugh, a man of considerable girth, challenged the Baron, and quite rightly, but insisted that the duel be conducted on horseback, at a gallop, while each man would have a dozen profiteroles. Given the inequity in widths (the Baron was widely know as "The Spurtle") the Donegal Commission on the Code Duello agreed and the duel was conducted at dawn on December 3, 1747. The Baron deloped and the Commission declared Sir Mac Hugh the "Winner And Still Champeen" and awarded him The Belt stating such. The Belt is still in the possession of the now much-reduced Mac Hugh family and can sometimes be seen in Red's Pawn Shop in Ballyfungus.
