The coronation ceremony of King Charles III and his wife Camilla on Saturday will include an ancient tradition that has been followed for nearly a millennium, with very few exceptions.
Contrary to the culinary traditions of this ceremony, King Charles pie will not be prepared, as usual, from “lamprey” or “jalky”, which looks a lot like eel.
And according to the New York Times, pork will replace this fish in King’s Pie.
The newspaper attributed the reason for this change in the taste traditions followed by royal coronations to the great shortage in the numbers of “lamprey” fish.
The newspaper quoted archaeologist Andrew Armstrong as saying that the tradition of feeding the king with “lamprey” fish dates back to the late twelfth century, when it was abundant in the River Severn.
The coronation ceremony for Charles will be on a smaller scale than the one that was held during the coronation ceremony of the late Queen Elizabeth in 1953, but it will nevertheless aim to be impressive, as it will include a group of historical emblems from golden balls and jeweled swords to a scepter bearing the largest colorless cut diamond. In the world.
After the ceremony, Charles and Camilla will depart in the four-ton golden royal carriage built for George III, the last monarch of the British colonies, back to Buckingham Palace in a mile-long procession of 4,000 soldiers from 39 countries in ceremonial uniforms.
Thousands are expected to line the streets and the event will be watched by millions in homes and across the world on television.
