What will be King Charles legacy to the culinary world. Sumpruous state dinners like his mother had? Quiet family barbecues that were his father's specialty? It's hard to say.
Regular contributor Kim Severson wrote about the food legacy of this new king in yesterday's New York Times Food section. Charles will be remembered for his passionate support of organic farming, His take on food should be climate friendly and organic. Will it wash with a nation of heavy meat eaters?He could beinfluential like Jaqueline Kennedy was , itroducing French cuisine to the white House and America and the Obamas promoting healthy eating and portion control.H e does eat vegan twice a week, so that may be a factor in changing British palates. He also believes in home grown veggies so many Britons may emulate him and start their own gsrdens of carrots and turnips.
Yet he also loves roast lamb, a popular British Sunday dinner choice. His table and future banquets may have wedges of Stilton and Cornish Bleu cheese. Right now Charles and the rest of his family are encouraging subjects to make quiche, a dish that he and Camilla have chosen.it's rpobably because the king loves cheesy eggs for breakfast since this quiche has cheddar along with fava beanin it, There will also be the traditional sausage roills and finger sandwiches, They're pushing shrimp tacos with pineapple salsa and grilled eggplant with a spicy yogurt sauce for celebrating. However due to the country's economy there may be cut backs. They may embrace his vegan days to save money.
What will be Charles' legacy? Will it be an organic one?Or one born out of the hardships his people are facing?
