The omnipotent Ottoman military machine under the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent was all powerful in the 16th century, until it was checked in the Siege of Vienna in 1529. Jubilant with the army's retreat a baker in the city decided to celebrate with something different.
What did he do? He created a pastry in the shape of a half-moon to remind Viennese of their hardship days of being surrounded.
This, according to our guide, was how our breakfast favorite, the Croissant, was born. Do I hear a second opinion?
