Origin[]
Mary and Eliza Chulkhurst, commonly known as the Biddenden Maids, were a pair of conjoined twins supposedly born in Biddenden, Kent, England, in the year 1100. They are said to have been joined at both the shoulder and the hip, and to have lived for 34 years. It is claimed that on their death they bequeathed five plots of land to the village, known as the Bread and Cheese Lands. The income from these lands was used to pay for an annual dole of food and drink to the poor every Easter. Since at least 1775, the dole has included Biddenden cakes, hard biscuits imprinted with an image of two conjoined women.
Effects[]
Eating cakes made from the pan makes the eater feel more charitable towards others, giving them nourishment and other needs without asking for compensation. A slight warning: those that eat the cake may randomly become conjoined to any person they touch.
