Queen Elizabeth knows what she likes. She only wears one nail polish shade, always carries the same purse, and famously adores a particular dog breed (corgis, of course). So it’s no surprise that she’s also a stickler when it comes to the royal menu.
Britain’s longest-reigning monarch hates a certain kitchen staple, and sadly it’s one that generally makes everything taste better. “At Buckingham Palace you don’t cook with garlic,” former palace chef John Higgins told the National Post. “I suppose in case you get the royal burp.”
Don’t worry — Queen Elizabeth still sneaks in some treats. She absolutely loves chocolate, especially chocolate biscuit cake, chocolate mousse, and chocolate ganache sponge cake. Other favorites include fresh fruit like mangos, strawberries, and peaches, especially ones grown at Windsor Castle. The Queen’s not a teetotaler, either — the usual royal nightcap is agin and Dubonnet. Cheers to that!
