Eating dead snails aren't Queen Elizabeth's thing. But, it seemed like her former royal chef got it all wrong. As alleged by a former royal servant, Charles Oliver, there was one time in the Buckingham Palace when a royal chef served a meal to the queen with a dead slug in it.
In his book titled, Dinner at Buckingham Palace, Charles revealed that the queen was "less than thrilled" finding the creature in her meal. While it is expected by some for her to get mad over the chef, she, instead, "shaded" the chef via "scathing note."
As reiterated by Cosmopolitan, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip have a notebook by their side every time they eat a meal. The main purpose of the notebook is for the two royals to jot down their comments, feedback, and reviews of the foods that they eat.
Surprisingly, Charles Oliver noted that the notebook almost always remains "blank." It turns out that the queen is not a foodie, unlike her husband, Prince Philip.
But, upon seeing the dead slug, Queen Elizabeth II reportedly tore a piece of paper from the notebook and lay the creature in it. She, then, placed it on top of the notebook that allegedly came with a shady note.
The note, reportedly, informed the royal chef about the creature that she found in her salad. However, she moved on to shading the chef by asking if he could eat it.
Upon the revelation, many royal fans thought it was a funny moment. The reason being is that the queen is deemed as truly the "actual queen of shade."
Aside from the slug mishap, a former royal chef also revealed that Queen Elizabeth II loves to eat simple foods. New York Times Post covered this angle and stated that the queen is a fan of "British staples," such as the Weetabix and McVitie's rich tea biscuits.
She has one rule: no starch in every meal.
For breakfast, it revealed that she normally eats fruits and cereals. Reports also noted that her preferences include Kellogg's, Quaker Oats, and Weetabix.
By lunch, a simple plate of fish with vegetables on the side will do. Although she also likes a grilled chicken and a salad, she's somewhat "partial" to the course.
As for the queen's dinner, she is revealed to prefer fillets of beef or venison. Fillets of pheasant or salmon will also do as long as they come from the Sandringham's and Balmoral's farms.
