    • 2009 September 13, Amanda Hesser, “Huguenot Torte, 1965”, in New York Times[1]:
      The torte’s dense, meringuey look probably contributes to the misconception that it was brought over from France by the Huguenots, or French Protestants, who fled to South Carolina in the 17th century for religious freedom.
