"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are." Brillat-Savarin Brillat-Savarin is mentioned only once, by Chef. In the context of the page he would seem to be a nemesis thereof, but as with so much of the culinary world, you don't always want to know what goes in the knockwurst. In RL, Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin was a lawyer and politician in addition to being an epicure, gastronome and violinist. His most famous book, mixing science with cooking, is still published even today. It seems safe to assume that in the Girl Genius universe, Brillat-Savarin is a Spark.
