The tale of a dead slug in the food of Queen Elizabeth II! Know what she wrote to the chef!
No one has seen Queen Elizabeth II angry in public. She seems like a, really cool person. And she likes to have a tasty meal. She has tasted fine foods throughout the globe.
Hence, she does not like it if anything goes wrong with it. There is a story of how she was upset with a chef for messing up a delicious meal.
Queen Elizabeth II and her food liking
As, a royal figure, one expects that the Queen would be a fussy eater. She would be having a discerning palate. But the truth is otherwise.
The Royal insiders revealed that the Queen of England is not fussy over food. She likes and eats simple and is fond of British staples such as Weetabix and McVitie’s rich tea biscuits.
But she has her set limits as regards food and it seems that one of the chefs had crossed the line. It upset her.
Queen Elizabeth II and her comments on a meal
The former royal servant Charles Oliver revealed that there is a notebook that the royal aides, bring to the Queen and King Philip after a meal.
The Queen and the King can jot down any feedback about the food and chefs in it after they have tasted and eaten the food. Charles in his book named Dinner at Buckingham Palace writes:
“Mostly, the book remains blank, as the Queen is not fussy about food.”
“However, when she has a guest to an informal lunch and they reveal definite likes and dislikes—such as an objection to fried potatoes or Brussels sprouts—the Queen will make a discreet note for future reference.
“This is duly recorded by the kitchen and remembered, should the guest come again.”
Queen Elizabeth II and her scathing message to a chef
Once while eating, the Queen found a dead slug in her food. She removed the creature, tore a page of the notebook from the back, and put the offending creature on it. Besides it, she wrote:
“I found this in the salad—could you eat it?”
It does not speak highly of former the royal chef who was overseeing the food preparation for the Queen. Hence the Queen’s scathing message to him seems befitting and apt in the present context.
