There should be a consistent number of guests at the dining table. 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342466405 The Queen of England always follows the rule of not inviting more than 13 guests to a party. The number 13 is considered unlucky in Western European culture. While the queen herself isn't bothered by it, she does her best to avoid offending her slightly more "superstitious" guests.

The Office of the Marshal of the Court is a "large army" that assists the queen. This office's job is to arrange seating for the party's guests.]]> 2022-10-17 03:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342466405 2. All evening parties are solemn 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342475900 All members of the royal family and guests are required to dress formally when dining with the queen. White tie is always required. Imagine having to eat dinner in a beautiful gown while trying not to get food on your outfit!

Members of the British royal family must still dress appropriately when attending outdoor parties or socializing. It is especially inappropriate to wear revealing or too short clothing.Movie about the dress code: Downton Abbey

The password for the dining table 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342483144 The guests will never announce that they need to leave the table to use the restroom, put on makeup, or whatever. "Excuse me," they said as they stood up. But how do the wait staff know they haven't finished their meal? They will smear the cutlery (as shown above, left).

They will place the finished cutlery in the direction of 5 p.m. if they have finished eating.]]> 2022-10-17 03:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342483144 4. How to Suitably Use Napkins 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342489614 To use a napkin properly, fold it in half in a rectangular shape. They will then use the inside of the towel to wipe their mouth (not the outside). As a result, the double method will conceal all of the stains on the dish.]]> 2022-10-17 03:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342489614 5. The Queen is always looking for the menu. 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342492822 Every week, the royal chef will present the queen with a menu from which she can choose. Of course, the chef was well-versed in the queen's tastes and preferences. She does, however, have the final say in the dish selection.]]> 2022-10-17 03:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342492822 7. Starch-free dinner 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342501720 Dinner will not include pasta, rice, or potatoes. When she consumes starchy foods, the Queen avoids feeling bloated.]]> 2022-10-17 04:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342501720 9. The Queen adheres to strict dietary rules 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342514792 She always eats small portions, having meals four times a day so as not to overeat. In the morning, she only had cereal and English Breakfast tea. Throughout the years, she has never violated this rule... except for chocolate. Yes, the queen is also a chocolate lover!]]> 2022-10-17 04:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342514792 10. Dishes must be tested 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342521812 Yes, in modern times, but royal banquets must always be put to the test. The food prepared at the palace will be thoroughly tested. When the royal family attends parties, they will only eat the food on the table—which has been tested—and will not accept food from any other source.

Furthermore, members of the royal family are not permitted to drink filtered water while traveling in order to avoid poisoning. They are only permitted to consume bottled water.]]> 2022-10-17 04:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342521812 11. The Queen has a standard for chatting with diners 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342524477 Being arranged to sit next to the queen can cause a "mist" for guests. However, it is well known that she will only converse with the guest on the right during the aperitif. Then turn to chat with the person sitting on the left when eating the next dish.]]> 2022-10-17 04:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342524477 12. The party ends when the queen finishes eating 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342527577 Once the queen has finished her meal, the party is officially over, whether the guests are hungry or full.

You are not allowed to get up and leave earlier. You are also not allowed to linger after the queen has finished her meal.

But the queen also understands that sometimes people will dine at different speeds. She will observe the room. Sometimes she also leaves a small piece on the plate, and doesn't use it all right away, to allow time for diners to finish their meal.]]> 2022-10-17 04:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342527577 13. How to hold a cup of tea or coffee properly 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342534422 The royal family has a very separate rule for holding cups between tea and coffee. When holding a cup of tea, use your thumb and index finger to hold the handle, and your middle finger to support it. When the coffee is closed, you hook your index finger over the handle of the cup. Always use your right hand to hold the cup.]]> 2022-10-17 04:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342534422 15. There are numerous steps to enjoying tea 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342541790 17. There are numerous steps to enjoying tea.
Hot tea should always be served first. Members of the British royal family do not receive more milk until the second cup. Do not let the spoon and clink clink on the sides of the cup when stirring the tea. Do not blow on the edema to cool the tea. Don't slurp, either.]]> 2022-10-17 04:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342541790 16. How to Properly Hold a Knife and Fork 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342547503 Hold the fork in your left hand, fork face down on the plate. The knife is held in the right hand, with the index finger resting on the blade to increase cutting force. When scooping food, do not turn the fork over. Queen Elizabeth II is well-known for her ability to balance peas on a fork without them dropping!]]> 2022-10-17 04:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342547503 6. Dishes must be made with organic and seasonal ingredients 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342555627 With the advent of genetically modified foods, or foods grown in different off-season regions, a dish that was only available in one season has now appeared all year round. However, the queen is forbidden to use these dishes in the weekly menu. She has always made it a priority to only choose food grown organically on British farms when in season.
For example, strawberries are wrong in the summer, so the royal family's summer parties will have many dishes made from strawberries. But if it shows up on the winter menu, she'll slap it off the list.
With this natural and organic diet, it is understandable why Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip lived more than 90 years ago and are still very sharp.

A royal meal devoid of seafood and garlic 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342557349 Seafood is always avoided at royal parties. In the past, this dish was not ignored because it was easy to create unique applications as well as unique applications for guests.
As for the address, the queen always avoids it because it is too strong and the smell is unpleasant.

Doesn't leave lipstick marks all over the rims of cups 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342560371 Royal ladies will only sip tea and coffee from one point on the cup, avoiding spilling lipstick marks around the rim of the cup. This is easier when serving tea or coffee in a cup with a handle.]]> 2022-10-17 05:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342560371 17. Dining room entry procedures 20dh710247 https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342563846 Not everyone who arrives early gets in first at British royal parties. The members of the royal family are always neatly lined up in the order of succession to the throne (Order of Precedence). As a result, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are always at the bottom of this list.]]> 2022-10-17 05:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/20dh710247/nguyenphuonggiang/wish/2342563846
