Queen Elizabeth ate food cooked in a 222-year-old pot: hadn't changed her diet in 60 years, loved Assam tea :

About 10 months ago, Queen Elizabeth II of Britain celebrated her 95th birthday on February 6. 70 years of his reign were to be completed in 2022. Preparations were underway to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen's coronation. Then came news from the Royal Palace. The empress's royal doctors advised her not to drink wine.

Darren Macready, personal chef to Queen Elizabeth II for 15 years, wrote a book in 2007 called 'Eating Royally: Recipes and Remembrances'. In this, he has openly talked about the Queen's food. According to Darren, the reason behind the Queen staying healthy and active even after turning 95 was her diet and disciplined life. He made strict rules for food and drink. There was no significant change in their diet for the past 60 years. He was taking a healthy diet. They ate only as much as was necessary to live. The secret of the long life, beauty, and health of Elizabeth, who was the Queen of Britain for 70 years and 214 days, was also hidden in this food habit.



 Food is prepared with 1800s utensils 

The royal kitchen employed 20 chefs to prepare the queen's meals. head chef designed the menu chef, with a 3-course meal of the day. The queen will choose one of these dishes and cross out the names of the remaining dishes. During the time of Queen Victoria, Britain's queen before Elizabeth, her head chef began writing menus in French by hand. Since then this tradition has been going on. Darren Megrady states that Is. Utensils from the 1800s are still used in royal kitchens.

The queen also had some special rules for food…

Pre-breakfast tea without sugar and biscuits

Queen Elizabeth used to start her morning with tea and biscuits. Their tea was also specially prepared. Known as 'Earl Grey. This tea leaf is prepared by adding bergamot orange peel oil. Milk is added to it, but no sugar at all. The Queen loved Chocolate Oliver's Biscuits. He also loved Assam's 'Silver Tips Chai'.


Earl Gray tea in a silver teapot at 7:30 am

At exactly 7:30 AM, Mad would arrive in their bedroom with 2 teapots on a tray. Have earl Grey tea in one pot and hot water in the other. Along with this, bone china cups, small plates, and linen napkins were also placed on the tray. The napkin was embroidered with the royal emblem of the Empress.


Fruit, cereal, and marmalade were preferred for breakfast

After getting ready, he would come to his private dining room for breakfast at 8:30. Cereals and fruits were the most important part of his morning meal. He also loved marmalade (orange marmalade) and toast. On special occasions, his breakfast sometimes included smoked salmon fish, and eggs. The queen preferred brown eggs.


High protein low carb, zero starch at lunch

The Queen's lunch would have been planned on a high protein-low carbohydrate regimen. Fish and vegetables were the most important part of their diet. Queen Elizabeth's favorite lunches were spinach and grilled Dover sole or Scottish salmon with spinach and zucchini. He also loved grilled chicken with salad. They had a zero-starch diet, so all these rules were strictly followed while preparing food.


Sandwiches were eaten with soft butter and strawberry jam

In the afternoon they once again drank Earl Gray tea. During this time he loved eating cucumber sandwiches and fruit cakes. Tomato sandwiches and jam penny sandwiches were his favorites from the age of 5. Their sandwiches were also made very simply, with a bit of butter and strawberry jam on the bread.


Fish, salad, and vegetables for dinner

Even in the Maharani's dinner, the rule of 'no starch' was followed. Even in the evening meal, he had only fish, vegetables, and salad.


Fruits for the queen came from the royal garden

Fresh fruit for Queen Elizabeth always came from her garden. Strawberries were brought from the palace at Balmoral, then peaches from the greenhouse at the court at Windsor.



Loved chocolate in sweets

Sometimes the queen also wanted to eat sweets. Dark chocolate was his first choice for this. However, he only ate a small piece of chocolate. He didn't like milk chocolate. He always kept chocolate biscuits and cakes with him while traveling.


Maharani never asked for fast food

There was one thing Queen Elizabeth didn't like to eat, and it was garlic. Even though today the world is crazy about fast food, Maharani never asked for fast food. He could eat whatever he wanted, but he always ate healthy food keeping his health in mind. Darren Macready jokes that the Queen loved dogs and horses. Chef, food, and kitchen was the last choice for him.


She used to drink wine till the age of 95

In media reports, there have been many reports about Queen Elizabeth II's likes and dislikes of alcohol. His drinking habits were also in the news. It is also said that he still drank 4 glasses of cocktails at the age of 91, but Darren Macready, who worked as his personal chef, did not consider it appropriate. Yes, he loved wine and continued to drink it until he was 95 years old when doctors told him not to drink wine.

Wine for the royal family is made from the fruits of the gardens of the royal palace

They drank sweet wine in the evening or during dinner. He liked Gin and Dubonnet more. Gin was produced at Buckingham Palace for the Queen and the Royal Family. This royal wine was named 'Buckingham Palace Gin'. This special wine is made from 12 types of herbs, including lemons, and berries, grown in the 16-hectare royal garden at Buckingham Palace. This wine was launched in July 2020 by the Royal Collection Trust.
