“According to Oliver, the queen and Prince Philip regularly eat their meals with notepads so they can send their suggestions back to the kitchen.”

It’s time to get those royal grifters off the dole.

The key words are “raw or undercooked”. Slugs, YUM! < /sarc >

Good for the Queen.

One of the problems with Brits and their silly snobbery is they want to be ‘above it all’ so they don't complain... enough.

In the United States we don't put on those silly airs (other than the Morning Joe crew) and we complain when things are wrong. It's the reason Brits are surprised that the service here is good and 'with a smile' and the ‘passive aggressive’ crap from their cultures is missing.

So God Bless the Queen... and may the rest of the Brits get off their high horses, take their noses down a notch, and complain when it's warranted.

Tell her to fix her own dam meal.

Royalty outlived its usefulness about 200+ years ago.

I have a wonderful cookbook written by one of her chefs from the 1980s. He, also, reports that the Queen was very fussy about her food - both for her husband and her corgis. How “the firm” is run is one of the highlights of the book.

The only thing worse than taking a bite of salad and seeing a slug is taking a bite of salad and seeing half a slug.
