I think this is one of them. Have you ever wondered what royalties eat? Can a king eat anything he wants? No. Although members of the British royal family can sit every day in front of delicacies cooked by great chefs, some dishes expressly prohibited by Buckingham Palace. Her Majesty’s menu preferences have some restrictions, five to be exact, chosen to prevent inconveniences such as simple halitosis or a stomach ache,
The first in the blacklist is garlic, both loved and hated, it is an ingredient that – you know – causes terrible breath problems. Once the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla, revealed during an episode of the Australian MasterChef that garlic has a limited role during official engagements. The onion appears to be in a similar-despised class.
Seafood is usually remover because of the high risk of food poisoning. Former royal butler Grant Harold told Woman & Home magazine: “It is a sensible move to avoid fish when out and about on public work. We do not want a member of the royal family to have a severe reaction to food poisoning, especially if he is on tour abroad. ” Despite this, Prince William himself declared his love for sushi long ago, while Prince Charles has always been a great admirer of crustaceans.
Not even Foie gras can cross the gates of Buckingham Palace, and it is mainly a matter of ethics. The French delicacy was banned in royal palaces in 2008 by Prince Charles because of concerns about the welfare of ducks and geese.
Although the queen appreciates meat, she is not a massive fan of raw meat. Royalty can eat foods containing raw meat, such as steak tartare when engaged in official activities to avoid food poisoning, and the menu always controlled beforehand.
Pasta closes the circle of this particular list. That’s right: Buckingham Palace doesn’t particularly like pasta, but neither does rice and potatoes. Former chef Darren McGrady revealed in an old interview that the queen prefers to eat fish or meat and vegetable meals, but she can do without the starch. We do know that Great Britain was never really known for elaborate cooking, and I can understand the rituals of skepticism. Dear Queen, health is on your side, I guess your food selections are working very well, but a little pasta here and there won’t hurt you. Try spaghetti with fresh seafood, light garlic tomato, and wine broth, fresh thyme, and extra virgin as a signature. No Stilton on it, please. If you are skeptical about the seafood, have Charles try it first. All right, laugh, it’s a joke!
Eat safe and wear a mask! Ciao Chef W
