Thirteen members of the Foodie group met last week to celebrate the Queen’s 90th Birthday. Tiaras were optional.
We began with an overview of “what the Royals eat” which took us from the gluttony of Henry VIII through to the more simple palate of todays royals. Our first dish was Eggs Drumkilbo, a favourite of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother. This consisted of hen and quails eggs,lobster, sherry jelly and Marie Rose sauce,with a hint of brandy.
