He’s the king of the kitchen!
Former royal chef Carolina Robb revealed a few of King Charles’ favorite foods and requirements – including two ingredients that were allegedly not allowed fairly often.
Robb, who worked for the family from 1989 to 2000, recently revealed that the 74-year-old King had a penchant for “local honey” or “homegrown asparagus” which was all the time sourced from local vendors, in accordance with Every day Express.
“All the pieces needed to be in season,” says Robb, who graduated from Cordon Bleu Cookery. “So no imported strawberries in December. The king was never happier than when he ate food straight from the garden.”
She explained that his preferences would change depending on where they were – so in the event that they were at Sandringham, the family’s country home, the monarch repeatedly loved to eat pheasant or venison straight from the estate.

Previously, King Charles was not averse to sharing his love of the environment with the world, so naturally, in accordance with Robb, there was little or no food waste within the kitchen and positively “no extravagance.”
The previous chef claimed that every day there was a “little menu book” with different meal suggestions, and the Royal Highnesses turned the pages to make your mind up what they liked to eat.
“Sometimes that may change if Charles would come back with something he had gathered from the garden and it will be served for dinner that night,” Robb claimed.
She also claimed that they often didn’t use garlic or raw onions in dishes that were on the menu for one very specific reason.
“We didn’t use garlic or raw onions in lots of the dishes since the family was all the time aware that they might be in close contact with members of the general public!” Robb said, in accordance with the outlet.

The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
Nonetheless, the avoidance of garlic and raw onions by royalty is nothing recent – there have been rumors prior to now that that is something they need to avoid, but Queen Camilla finally confirmed the rule during a TV appearance in 2018.
Appearing on an episode of ‘MasterChef Australia’, judge Gary Mehigan asked the 75-year-old if there have been any foods the royal family couldn’t eat.
“I hate to say it, but garlic,” she admitted. “Garlic is a no-no.”

Mehigan then asked her if it was because royalty often speak at official meetings.
“Garlic is a no-no? ‘Cause you talk, you talk? he asked.
“Yes, exactly,” Camilla replied. “So you mostly have to provide up garlic.”
And it looks just like the love of fresh blueberries runs within the family, as revealed by Darren McGrady, the late Queen Elizabeth II’s former private chef. YouTube video last 12 months that she loved blueberries so long as they were fresh.
He also claimed that the Queen ate the identical thing every single day at tea time – a jam sandwich, something she had eaten since she was a little bit girl.
When she frolicked in Balmoral Caste, Scotland, they picked fresh strawberries from the garden and made jelly spreads out of them.
Queen Elizabeth died last September on the age of 96 and had reigned for 70 years on the time of her death.
