Charles III chose the “signature” dish that, as tradition dictates in England, would mark the festivities surrounding his coronation.
No, “luxurious ceremony” does not necessarily rhyme with “gourmet cuisine”. With the date of King Charles III’s coronation fast approaching, the royal family has demystified the dish that guests of the ceremony will taste on May 6 and Britons who want it. Posted in video to the institution’s official Twitter pageApril 17, the dish has been revealed: quiche will be the signature dish of the event.
In the video: the recipe of “Coronation Quiche”.
Greens – spinach and beans – fresh cream, eggs, cheddar… All topped off with an ounce of tarragon. These are basically the main ingredients that this ‘coronation quiche’ calls for. In the video, a chef from the palace, the royal monogram ‘E II R’, a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II, adorning her blouse, is busy in the kitchen preparing it. The enthusiastic reactions of Internet users were not long in coming: “It looks delicious,” “I’ll try it,” “It looks fantastic,” they responded… There is no doubt that quiche has arrived. consent
A vegetarian and affordable recipe
The new sovereign and his wife, who personally chose this recipe, were careful not to betray their principles. Starting with the fact that it is a vegetarian dish. Charles III, for whom the environmental cause is dear, never hid his loyalty in this matter. the king really forces himself to do without meat and fish twice a week.
According to English tradition, every royal event has its own special dish. So the Brits are encouraged to recreate the famous recipe at ‘big coronation lunches’, where they can catch up with their neighbors on the weekend of the ceremony. In an inflationary context (+10.4% in one year, according to the Office for National Statistics), where wages no longer allow many Britons to live; 39% of the population is considered poor, as highlighted by Insee, the affordable recipe was more than welcome.
Especially since it forces everyone to agree.”[s’adaptant] easily for different tastes and preferences,” the royal family said on Twitter. The latter recommends enjoying royal quiche “with a hot or cold green salad and boiled new potatoes.” More sober and arguably more unifying than Elizabeth II’s “deep-fried chicken slathered in a creamy curry sauce.”
