Budget retailer Aldi revealed it expects to sell around 30 quiches a minute in the run up to the Coronation of King Charles III on Saturday, May 6. Britons up and down the country will be preparing to host get togethers and street parties to officially welcome the new king.
And to mark the coronation, the King and Queen Consort released a recipe for a coronation quiche, containing spinach, broad beans and fresh tarragon. The retailer believes the quintessentially British scone will also be a hit at street parties.
Aldi believes 170 scones will be sold every minute. Brits also look set to stock up on jam and clotted cream, with both expected to see a 40% spike this week.
