Pope Ladies
Pope ladies are yeast-based buns unique to the city of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, England. They are thought to date from the Middle Ages. Pope ladies are shaped to look like figures consisting of a body, head, two arms but no legs. The base of the body would be tapered to a point. An example of the bun can be found in Museum of St Albans. Traditionally they were said to have been made and handed out to the poor on Lady Day or New Years Day (although there is some debate over this). Nowadays they are available from most local baker shops.
