Credits < ===========================  From "The Good Fare and Cheer of
Old England" by Joan Parry Dutton  1960, Published by Reynal & Company,
Inc.  It is said that Maids of Honour cakes date from a day in 1525
when  Henry VIII saw Maids of Honour for one of his six Queens eating a
platter of cakes with such joyous relish that he tried one himself,
and found it very good.  Another tradition says they were named for
Queen Elizabeth's Maids of Honour when she lived at Richmond Palace.
From "The Cooking of the British Isles, by Adrian Bailey, Time-Life
Books, 1969  Several towns in Britain make small, delectable tarts
known as Maids  of Honour, but none are so rich in flavor and therefore
so famous as  Richmond Maids of Honour, which come from Richmond, a
suburb of  London, and are said to have been invented for the court of
Henry  VIII in the 16th Century.  [shared by Dorothy Hair Davis, 4/94]
