Quote by Terry Pratchett
(About a cookbook...)- What about this one? Maids of Honor?- Weeelll, they starts OUT as Maids of Honor...but they ends up Tarts.
Summary
This quote humorously suggests a transformation from an honorable position to a less respectable one. It humorously implies that the cookbook in question, Maids of Honor, starts out with good intentions and perhaps a focus on refined dishes but ultimately leads to the creation of indulgent and possibly scandalous desserts referred to as "tarts." The quote plays on the dual meaning of "Maids of Honor," which traditionally refers to a prestigious title, while also alluding to a type of dessert. It highlights a witty and unexpected twist in the perception of the cookbook.
