The Queen's New Favorite Food Is A Total Departure From Her Usual Royal Menu
Though the royal family usually has to follow the Queen's lead when it comes to what they can and can't eat, they were likely as shocked as the world was to find out she has a new, super flavorful cuisine in rotation-Caribbean!
In the forthcoming HBO Documentary Queen of the World, royal chef Mark Flanagan explained that Buckingham Palace's Caribbean Scholars program, which launched earlier this year, has led to a heavy Caribbean influence in the dishes coming out of the royal kitchen. The program involved young hospitality workers learning and working at the Palace.
Express quotes Flanagan as saying "A number of the Caribbean dishes were particularly well received. The callaloo soup was an absolute sensation. I had email after email telling me that it must now feature more regularly.”
According to INSIDER, Food Service Manager at Government House in Nassau, Bahamas, Jared Forbes was thrilled to give the Queen "a little idea of what [he eats] at home." The Bahamian chef says in the documentary: "It's a change from what they are used to, from fish and chips." He continued, "I don't think my grandma, when she taught me how to make this rice, that she ever thought I would be serving it to Buckingham Palace. I'm quite proud of that."
Quite the departure from the usual, @Lilibet.
