皇室御用主廚戴倫麥格雷迪(Darren McGrady)曾經服務英國皇室11年,英國女王逝世後,他也在自己的Instagram上貼文哀悼。戴倫麥格雷迪服務過包括英國女王、黛安娜王妃、英國哈利王子與妻子梅根等,其中哈利王子和威廉王子可說是他從小看到大,電影《史賓賽》(Spencer)中還有飾演他的角色,就以他的名字「戴倫麥格雷迪」現身!麥格雷迪表示,英女王也喜歡吃炸魚薯條,不過跟一般人的吃法不太一樣。而最近他更透露,英國女王5歲起就愛吃果醬吐司,喝下午茶時更是必備「果醬錢幣吐司」(Jam Pennies),而且做法真的超簡單。

英皇室御用主廚戴倫麥格雷迪(Darren McGrady)曾服務英國皇室11年,英國女王逝世後,他在自己的Instagram上貼文表示:「謝謝女王讓我為您做飯11年。」Darren McGrady從 1982 年到 1993 年為女王工作,他回憶:「女王殿下是一位有著敏銳幽默感的了不起的女士。」

他也對外媒《新聞週刊》提起與女王第一次見面時的有趣情境:「當時女王在巴爾莫勒爾城堡沿著河邊遛柯基犬,柯基犬追著我跑,我逃跑了,女王就大聲笑了出來。我後來才想到,因為我轉身就跑,其實我那天並沒有真正見到女王。」

 

Darren McGrady也提到,其實他一開始面試進去,只是20個廚師中的一個,他主要負責的工作竟是「為馬要吃的紅蘿蔔削皮」。後來他漸漸地在主廚中越爬越高,直到數年後的一次週末派對終於見到女王。Darren McGrady在廚房內負責賓客的飲食,女王走進廚房對他說:「謝謝你給我們一個愉快的週末!」Darren McGrady說:「女王就是能夠讓你感覺到,在那一刻你是世上絕無僅有的人!」

戴倫表示,英國女王其實非常節儉。在主廚剛開始加入英國皇室,他以為每天的菜單就是魚子醬、香檳、鵝肝醬,但這些料理其實只出現在國宴上。

他提到,有一次女王晚上得去皇家歌劇院,她想先吃一些煙燻鮭魚和炒蛋當作晚餐,新來的廚子做了一道美味的煙燻鮭魚炒蛋,並且用一整顆檸檬當作擺盤,裝飾得非常漂亮。結果女王將整盤檸檬退回,並且表示,已經說過不需要這些華麗盤飾,因為這是一種浪費,並且詢問主廚是否能夠將這些擺盤用的檸檬重新使用。

提到女王最愛的食物之一英國道地炸魚薯條,通常做法是酥脆的麵糊包裹著魚肉片去炸,加上金黃色的薯條,但根據前皇室御用主廚戴倫麥格雷迪(Darren McGrady)的說法,英國女皇也跟平民一樣吃炸魚薯條,不過是「更精緻」的版本!

裹碎麵包酥烤取代炸魚

麥格雷迪曾經服務皇室11年,為英女皇、黛安娜王妃與王子們服務,他解釋,首先酥脆的麵糊對於年紀漸長的英國女皇來說有點吃不消,她偏好的是比較健康的版本,因此作法會將魚肉裹上碎麵包然後進烤箱烤,如此取代油炸酥皮版的炸魚。

切割整齊的疊疊樂薯條

再來,炸魚薯條的重要配菜「薯條」,英國女王喜歡的版本可是要花點心思!首先麥格雷迪會將馬鈴薯手切成方方整整,每一條都得是長度一致的完美矩形,炸好起鍋後擺盤才是重頭戲!主廚麥格雷迪說,英女皇只需要六根薯條,並且像是「疊疊樂」的方式,兩根兩根堆疊三層,最後佐上加了龍蒿的荷蘭醬以及豌豆泥,就大功告成。

英國女王一天吃四餐

只有六根薯條的炸魚薯條,眾多網友們都表示怎麼可能吃得飽?!長年服務英國皇室的主廚麥格雷迪表示,英國女王身材非常嬌小,但其實她每天都會吃四餐,只是每一餐的份量都非常節制。主廚給女王的餐點她幾乎都會吃光,鮮少挑食退回,頂多就是女王實在不喜歡的食物,她會另外寫個小紙條告訴主廚以後不想吃這些。英女王的飲食種類很豐富多樣化,但份量上極為節制!再怎麼愛吃的東西也不會多吃。麥格雷迪說:「像是女王很喜歡巧克力蛋糕,一般人會先切一片來吃,剩餘的蛋糕先擺在旁邊以免等下還想吃,但女王不會,她每次只切一小片,剩餘的馬上就會送回廚房。」

女王熱愛黑巧克力

麥格雷迪表示,英國女王和王子們就跟一般人一樣,有各自愛吃的食物。例如,英國女王就是個巧克力狂。喜歡菜單上任何有巧克力的東西,而且當麥格雷迪任職的時候,女王和威廉王子、哈利王子每天早上都會吃家樂氏玉米片當早餐,而且是一整套不同口味的家樂氏麥片,每個人會選擇不同的口味,女王會吃Special K香脆麥米片、哈利和威廉則會吃酥脆米餅(Rice Krispies)或玉米片(Corn Flakes)、糖霜玉米片(Frosted Flakes)等。而威廉王子和哈利王子小時候也討厭吃綠色蔬菜,喜歡吃牧羊人派和玉米,但當然更愛披薩、漢堡炸雞薯條等這類食物。而黛安娜王妃則是喜歡舒芙蕾鬆餅。哈利王子的妻子梅根據傳熱愛健康飲食,像是巴西莓果碗、綠色果汁、沙拉、壽司、烤魚塔可餅,主廚表示跟哈利王子以往的飲食習慣其實相去甚遠。

英女王5歲起愛上果醬錢幣吐司

近日英國皇室即將舉行花園派對,前主廚也透露,英國女王從五歲起就愛吃果醬三明治,而且果醬三明治一定要做成「錢幣」的形狀,根據他的經驗,英國皇室午茶派對中必定會有這道菜。他說:「做法就是麵包和果醬加少許奶油,果醬通常是草莓醬。我們會在巴爾莫勒爾城堡用花園裡漂亮的蘇格蘭草莓做成果醬。」

學生吃果醬吐司會被取笑窮?

他在YouTube影片中也示範了超簡單做法,將麵包塗上厚厚的草莓果醬,然後用模具切成圓形的樣子,這就是女王愛吃的「果醬錢幣吐司」(Jam Pennies),是以英國舊時使用的錢幣「便士」來命名。有英國網友在影片留言表示:「奇怪的是,在英國學校裡,只要有人午餐吃了果醬三明治就會被稱為窮人! 而在這裡我發現女王吃了它們,希望我能給校園惡霸們看這支影片! 」
