Yup, they were there...
A huge variety of custard tarts, both sweet and savory, tansies,
fricasees (these last coming more under the heading of omelette) and
actual quiches were eaten, if the recipes are to be believed.
The original quiche, it is rumored, consisted of a disk of bread dough
with a raised edge like a pizza, spread with thick cream such as
Devonshire, and baked. I have no available documentation for this just
now. I can say that this view is supported by the late James Beard, but
it's simpler to say I can't document this.
