Lead: The Queen of England, the current Queen Elizabeth II, Queen EliZAbeth II, is also an extraordinary woman with a legendary experience and high reputation. Britain was once an old colony, known as "Elizabeth, the Empire that never sets the sun, looks so noble and beautiful no matter how old she is. What is her usual diet?

Even chefs recruited from outside must sign fair documents before officially starting their work to ensure that they strictly abide by the secrets of the lives of members of the royal family. Unfortunately, there is no airtight wall in the world. Queen Elizabeth II's recipes were still spread to the people through various reliable channels.

2006 marks the Queen's 80th birthday. On June 15, the royal family will host a banquet in honor of 300 distinguished guests. Previously, a BBC program also joined in the fun, holding a cooking competition for eight consecutive weeks to select famous chefs from the British Isles. The top chefs who ultimately won did their best to book the menu for the Queen's birthday banquet. According to the way Western dishes are paired, the royal recipe is as follows: An appetizer: Smoked salmon with pancakes, sorbet and wild cress Chef Richard Corrigan, native of Northern Ireland; two fish: fried halibut with bird clams and oxtail Chef Bryn Williams, native of Wales; three main courses: deer loin with hash browns, roasted roots, cabbage and gravy Chef Nick Nain, Scottish native: Four desserts: cake chef Marcus Welling is from the north of England.

Do you need to ask? This royal menu is purely a patchwork of "fake goods". How the Queen eats remains a mystery. According to the British "Daily Telegraph" report, the Queen likes to eat cake and walnut bread very much, but this information alone is not enough. Fortunately, two insiders lifted the veil of mystery. One is Audrey, the queen's waiter? Taylor; the other is British Crown Prince Charles.

After the death of Audrey Taylor, the Queen's waiter, her work diary recorded in detail the breakfast menus of members of the royal family. According to records, Queen Elizabeth II often ate white bread and oatmeal biscuits, while the Queen's husband, Prince Philip, ate wheat cakes and grain toast. Breakfast is also served with cereals, small cans of brown sugar, honey, juice and jam. The appliance is equipped with six saucers and a tea tray, and the teapot has a tea box and filter to use together.

British Crown Prince Charles has written a book "Duke's Original Recipes", which introduces the dietary preferences of members of the British royal family. Dating back hundreds of years, the famous Queen Victoria was a gourmet. Her favorite dishes include simple-roasted mutton, lemon jam and sandwiches made from remnants of a Christmas meal. These things are still commonplace in the British royal family. Even among British folk, food and drink are not rare.

The current Queen Elizabeth II has a much more particular diet. Charles's new book reveals that the Queen likes to drink "Martell" very much, but she does not drink too much. When mixing wine, it is best to stir rather than shake. Like ordinary Britons, the Queen also particularly likes traditional "afternoon tea".

In order to prevent servants from hitting the Queen, traffic lights have been specially installed in some corridors of Buckingham Palace. When the Queen appears nearby, the traffic lights will turn red in advance. The British royal family requires that the diet be frugal as much as possible. For example, if you can't finish all the scones on Sunday, you must never throw them away. These leftovers should be added with some ingredients and then baked into "country cakes" or "barbecue cakes".

It is said that the Queen prefers home-cooked dishes, such as mutton slices or roast beef, followed by some bread, butter pudding or ice cream, as well as grilled tender mutton specially produced in Wales. The Queen loves natural food, especially natural green fruits and vegetables. The bread the Queen eats must come from naturally grown grains, as must her favorite walnut bread. In addition to fresh fruit, the Queen also insists on drinking mineral water near Windsor.

The Queen is good at maintaining herself. Her weight will always be around 105 pounds. This is doomed that she cannot eat too much, so eat less and more meals. Not only is the Queen well versed in diet and health preservation, but other members of the royal family are also very good at this area. Crown Prince Charles has always advocated green food. Various organic fruits and vegetables are his daily meals. Most of his favorite meats are salmon, wild ducks, etc.

In 2008, when the financial crisis swept across the world, the British royal family also felt the coolness and began to tighten its belts to live a hard and simple life with all its subjects. In 2009, Elizabeth II approved the opening of an "organic vegetable garden" at Buckingham Palace. It is said that this is the first time since World War II that vegetables have been grown in the British Royal Palace.

During World War II, the United Kingdom implemented food rationing uniformly. It was a tight time of material scarcity. This must be fresh in the Queen's youth before she ascended the throne. At the beginning, the royal family grew vegetables to boost morale and tide over the difficulties with the people. Now that Buckingham Palace has opened a vegetable garden again, it must still mean to advocate a new life.

According to media reports, the vegetable garden in the palace is not large, about 40 acres, with a helipad and a four-acre pond. Plants such as onions, garlic, beans, tomatoes, lettuce and potatoes are planted in the fields. Since it is known as an "organic vegetable garden", it is naturally very particular when planting it. Chemical fertilizers are never used. Instead, seaweed liquid is used to fertilize, garlic is used to drive insects, well water is used to irrigate, and fertilizer piles are used as cover material. Among them, Shiduo pears have been harvested and were sent to the Queen's table. In the future, the fruits and vegetables produced in the vegetable garden will also be supplied to hundreds of staff in the palace, and even become delicious dishes on official occasions such as state banquets.
