00:00The queen, late queen, used to avoid eating garlic or shellfish.
00:04You think, why is that?
00:05But actually, garlic can make your breath smell,
00:07and shell food can have an adverse effect on your digestive system.
00:12And what she doesn't want to do is be laid up and be ill
00:15because she's eaten a dodgy oyster.
00:17So she would avoid those always.
00:22We would try and avoid giving people her favourite things to eat.
00:27Otherwise, every engagement that she would go on,
00:29she'd have the same thing, lamb cutlets, for example,
00:32lamb cutlets and, you know, roast potatoes.
00:35So we'd never say this is what she likes as her favourite.
00:38Otherwise, she'd get it all the time and it'd be pretty dull.
00:40But her favourite meal of the day was afternoon tea.
00:44She would love cucumber sandwiches, a nice scone and a piece of fruitcake.
00:52What's not to love?
