6 surprising food facts about Queen Elizabeth, according to a former royal chef
The late Queen made history as the longest-serving monarch in British history, on the throne for 70 years. Over the years, some people close to the Queen have shared anecdotes about the monarch.
"They were served religiously each day, alternating between fruit scones or plain scones," McGrady wrote."While the Queen insisted on them as part of her tea, I suspect she didn't actually like scones. I say that because she never, ever ate them.""Instead, at the end of her daily tea, the Queen would take a scone and crumble it onto the floor for the corgis. It seems the dogs quite liked them," he wrote.
McGrady recalled asking a fellow chef why it was required to trim corners off of tea sandwiches for Queen Elizabeth during his early days at Buckingham Palace. "Each day he would write his suggestions down in a red leather-bound book with 'Menu Royal' embossed in gold on the cover," McGrady wrote."As soon as one book was filled, it was sent to the royal archives and a new book was sent to the kitchen as a replacement."

South African President, Former Ombud Lawfare Reaches New HighThe Western Cape High Court has ruled that President Cyril Ramaphosa's suspension of Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane should be set aside as the decision may have been tainted by bias. Shortly after the ruling, Mkhwebane sought access to the offices of the Public Protector in Pretoria. This, however, was denied by acting Public Protector Kholeka Gcaleka. In the meantime, the president also filed papers opposing Mkhwebane's application seeking direct access to appeal to the Constitutional Court. The president, who is being investigated by the PP's office for the possible breach of the ethics code related to a break-in and theft of foreign currency from his private game reserve at Phala Phala, filed papers on Sunday September 11, 2022 - opposing Mkhwebane's application. Meanwhile, Mkhwebane's legal representative, Advocate Dali Mpofu, has sought to suspend or at least halt Mkhwebane's Section 194 impeachment inquiry - an ad-hoc committee of the national assembly established on April 7, 2021 to determine if there are grounds for the removal of Mkhwebane as Public Protector. "We are not in a position to proceed," he informed the committee, adding "we are going to be doing an application for a postponement". Members of parliament called for an investigation into Mpofu's threats to parliamentary committee chairperson Richard Dyantyi, for not allowing a postponement of Mkwebane's hearings. Mpofu threatened Dyantyi, saying "you will pay one day", after he refused to postpone the hearings by a week.
