A meal fit for a Queen?

This past Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the White House. So what do you serve British royals for a white tie dinner? Following is the menu and wine selections that they chose, from the Office of the First Lady:

Spring Pea Soup with Fernleaf Lavender
Chive Pizzelle with American Caviar

Newton Chardonnay "Unfiltered" 2004

Dover Sole Almondine
Roasted Artichokes, Pequillo Peppers and Olives

Saddle of Spring Lamb
Chanterelle Sauce
Fricassee of Baby Vegetables

Peter Michael "Les Pavots" 2003

Arugula, Savannah Mustard and Mint Romaine
Champagne Dressing and Trio of Farmhouse Cheeses

"Rose Blossoms"

Schramsberg Brut Rosé 2004

The Queens Birthday Meal

England goes through to the next round of the World Cup, Billie Pipper is leaving Dr Who and the Queen celebrated her 80th.

The meal that had the top chefs in the UK competing for the privilege of creating a dish took place last night. The Queens 80th birthday dinner comprised smoked salmon with blinis, pan-fried turbot with cockles and oxtail, loin of roe venison and custard tart. The competition was covered in previous posts...

The UK press is full of pictures of the dinner but they don't publish these online so the only picture I can find of the meal and of the Queen meeting the winning chefs is on the BBC.

Tip of the Day

When cooking apples, save your apple cores and peels. Boil them for a half hour, simmer them, and save them for the next apple pie!
