The queen did not deny herself pleasure.
Elizabeth II went down in history as Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. The queen ruled the country for 70 years, which she would hardly have succeeded without excellent health. Many Britons and fans of the royal family wanted to unravel the secret of the longevity of the monarch. Finally, the truth came out.
Former Buckingham Palace chef Darren McGrady told the general public that every day, Elizabeth ate a delicacy that even the poor could afford. Afternoon tea served the queen sandwiches with butter and jam. This has been the custom since the childhood of the monarch.
Most of all, Elizabeth liked the dessert made with strawberry jam.
It was brewed in Balmoral from local berries. As the portal writes ExpressWhen the queen was little, sandwiches for her were made in a round shape, which made them look like coins. For this reason, the sweet dish was nicknamed “penny” in the residence.
