With King Charles III’s first Trooping the Colour taking place this weekend, you may be inspired to give your meals a royal twist. While you may think a royal recipe will be a complicated one, it doesn’t have to be - and there’s one dish the late Queen loved which is perfect for hot weather.
Queen Elizabeth II used to enjoy small cucumber sandwiches, which would be served by Buckingham Palace staff as part of an afternoon tea she had each day. The palace chefs would use a secret ingredient they would add to the humble handwich to elevate the flavour, The Mirror reports.
TV presenter Jenny Hanley revealed the trick after she attended a Garden Party at the palace and she shared her experience on Boom Radio. She explained that while there she enjoyed cucumber sandwiches and said they were "wonderful".
