On Thursday, September 8, the legendary Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain passed away at the age of 96. Not only for her homeland, but also for the whole world, she will forever remain a wise woman who, despite everything, always smiled, had a kind heart, a cold mind, and always loved to eat.

One of the queen's favorite dishes was ordinary burgers. Her chef Darren McGrady told a British media outlet about it. But he did not use buns. He also added a delicious cranberry sauce. According to People, such an exclusive dish even had its own name - "Maamburger".
The woman never ate with her hands, because it was not a proper way for a real lady.

Queen Elizabeth believed that a simple breakfast was the best. That's why she could eat just fruit, or eggs with smoked salmon.
Lunch
Baked meat for lunch or dinner
Lunch could be grilled fish or chicken. At this time of day, women avoided eating starch. Fish was usually accompanied by spinach or zucchini. Chicken was accompanied by a vegetable salad.

The Queen's favorite dessert was chocolate cakes. Most often she ate them just before dinner. The last meal had the same style as lunch: simply cooked meat (pheasant or deer) and vegetables. Along with chocolate, the queen enjoyed strawberries or peaches for dessert.
