Thanks for clarifying that one but has noone perhaps realised that 
'Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie' could be a wry social comment.

          A Pastie is associated with Cornish miners.  It is very 
much a working class snack.  If the pastie in 'Le Pastie...' is such 
an object (and the French do make all words imported from English 
masculine which would explain the 'Le') then there could be a thinly 
veiled meaning to do with the Marxist belief that Communism is the 
inevitable future of society.  Bourgeois ruling class eating working 
class food indicates an equality of the classes that, according to 
Marxism, cannot fail to happen one day.  Hence, 'Le Pastie de la 
Bourgeoisie'

          Or perhaps it's a spelling error for 'La Patsy de la 
Bourgeoisie'

          Or perhaps it's just a title.

          Oh well
