Queen loves seafood but won’t eat common delicacy at dinner parties – ‘Hosts are warned’

“We cooked a lot of traditional French food like halibut on a bed of spinach with a Mornay sauce.”

In terms of traditional British – and Irish – dishes the Queen favours, “game” was on the menu regularly when Darren was in charge of the royal kitchens. 

“Things like Gaelic steak, fillet steak with a mushroom whisky sauce, especially if we did it with venison,” he said.

Like most people, Her Majesty is also partial to a burger, but hers is served without the bun and eaten with a knife and fork. 

She also sticks to venison meat and has her patties stuffed with cranberries, according to Darren. 

But what does the Queen have to complete a meal? Her Majesty loves chocolate.
