Did you know that British sovereigns usually choose   a dish to mark their Coronation Day?  That’s definitely a good way to match History and enogastronomy, one of the best expressions of the culture of a community!  On today’s occasion (6th May 2023) King Charles and Queen consort Camilla shared the "coronation quiche" recipe via their social media. The quiche  is described as "a deep quiche with a crisp, light pastry case and deli cate flavours of spinach, broad beans and fresh Tarragon ”.  You can eat it hot or cold with a green salad and boiled new potatoes and that’s perfect for a ‘Coronation Big Lunch’, that is to say for street parties across the country to celebrate His Majesty the King and get in touch with family, friends and neighbours.  Watch here or read here the official recipe for the quiche.  Whether you are a royalist or not, this is a day to remember in hist ory!  Enjoy your meal!  P.S.
