King's tea It is one of the symbols of British monarchs. It is difficult to imagine that representatives of the ruling dynasty refused a cup of fragrant hot drink. Moreover, in London, where many royal residences have settled, it often rains. Now the gloomy weather seems to yearn for Her Majesty's passing.

Each article dedicated to Her Highness is a kind of tribute, an attempt to join the beautiful and open the curtain to something fantastic. In this post, we will remember breakfastLunches and dinners of Queen Elizabeth.

At one time, he cooked for Her Majesty, Lady Diana and the entire large royal family. In addition, McGrady cooked for five American presidents who visited the UK. After his dismissal, he wrote several books on royal culinary whims.

Her Highness preferred breakfast. cup or coffee. Of course, with the addition of milk. The Queen especially likes Earl Gray tea. That's really royal tea. To drink the monarch served toast white bread with butter and strawberry jam. If desired, the toast could be replaced with ordinary cereal.

Darren McGrady said the Queen loved afternoon tea. Elizabeth II never missed this meal, wherever she was. For example, during a trip to Australia, McGrady made afternoon tea in the morning, because it was just evening on London time.

In addition, it was not without healthy vegetables and greens. Like squash and spinach. Her Highness's dinner was always different, but it always included meat or fish and vegetables. Darren McGrady twice a week presented the monarch with a menu from which the Queen chose the desired dishes.

Undoubtedly, in recent years, the diet of Queen Elizabeth may have changed in favor of very different dishes. It is assumed that Her Highness listened to the advice of doctors and refused to eat junk food. However, according to the cook McGrady, in his youth the Queen was real sweet toothI loved chocolate and everything related to it.

However, for her, this property of American cuisine had to be remade a little. For example, ketchup was replaced with cranberry sauce and abandoned buns. The monarch sometimes indulged in a Gaelic steak. The dish is quite heavy for the stomach and high-calorie.

It's not weird at all. For example, her son, the current King Charles III, eagerly engaged in beekeeping and even sells organic honey. The resulting profits go to charity.



Now the favorite cup of Elizabeth II, from which she drank royal tea, will be left without a dear hostess. I want to sincerely thank the monarch for her courage and fortitude. After all, it was Elizabeth who took the reins of power at such a difficult time. She lived an incredible life. She is a figure worthy of her place in history.
