Last modified on Nov 26, 2021 12:08 GMT Sophie Hamilton The Queen seems to be quite the powerhouse when it comes to growing old gracefully and keeping active at age 95.The British monarch has experienced a slight setback with her health in recent weeks, but instead of shunning the limelight for rest, the mother-of-four is still conducting engagements as her normal sprightly self.
The Queen has a team of talented chefs at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle who cater for her personal meals and banquets. Former royal chef Darren McGrady previously told HELLO! that a red leather-bound book of menus, written in French, would be sent up to the Queen each week, containing a wide variety of recipes.He continued:"The chefs would pick the menus and she would put a line through the ones she didn't want.
"Kippers, in a number of uncomplicated variations, have remained a favourite with the Queen ever since – for breakfast, as a savoury or a late-night supper. The queen is also fond of smoked haddock as a breakfast dish."MORE: The Queen's VERY unusual dessert habits – you won't believe how she eats fruit!What does the Queen eat for lunch? The monarch is believed to keep things simple for lunch, often enjoying a plate of fish and vegetables.
He added:"We used a repertoire of dishes, mainly British and French food. We cooked a lot of traditional French food like halibut on a bed of spinach with a Mornay sauce." Yes, you read that right. Chocolate is so antioxidant-rich, that research suggests it may even help lower the risk of heart disease, reduce inflammation and insulin resistance, and improve brain function.What does the Queen like to drink? Well, we know the monarch enjoys a good cup of tea! Royal butler Grant Harrold once spoke about the Queen's favourite tea in BBC Three comedy show Miss Holland, which aired in 2018.
