What did Queen Elizabeth II of England eat when she was 96?
Despite the fact that modern nutritionists advise not to eat 4-5 times a day, but to switch to three meals a day, Elizabeth II could argue with them. The grandmother-queen ate four times a day in small portions throughout her life. Also, most of the meals were the same in the evening, but we are always told that the densest meal should be before 12 noon.
Her Majesty’s breakfast cannot be called healthy at all. She started each day with a cup of tea, biscuits and a bowl of cereal.
At lunch, the Queen of England was served grilled fish with fresh spinach or courgette. She loved the grilled chicken with fresh salad.
Elizabeth II never missed the 5 o’clock tea (tea is drunk at 5 pm), during which savory sandwiches, butter, jam and sandwiches were served. This meal for the monarch has always been a favorite. She never lost it, even though she was on another continent.
“She always had afternoon tea wherever she was. We flew to Australia and were on the royal yacht. It was five in the morning, but the Queen’s London time was five in the afternoon, so my first job was doing sandwiches, “said Her Majesty’s former chef.
For dinner, Elizabeth II was usually served meat or fish with fresh or grilled vegetables. It could be a fillet steak with a mushroom and whiskey sauce or a Gaelic steak.
One of Her Majesty’s favorite dishes was hot toast with baked shrimp, marinated in spiced oil with a secret ingredient, grilled or cooked in a pan. The queen also had a sweet tooth enthusiast, and so she would sometimes indulge herself with a multilayer chocolate cake with black and white chocolate chips.
