"Anche Regina Margherita mangia pollo con le dita"...

"Anche Regina Margherita mangia pollo con le dita" --even Queen Margherita eats chicken with her fingers, said in order to excuse that habit at the table. She must have been very popular!

There are LOTS of recipes on the internet. I haven't tried any of them so I can't vouch for a particular one. If I was going to try something it would probably be the Battenberg Cake. I get hungry just looking at the picture.

Wow. The only one on that list that I have tried is the Pizza Margherita, and like D.T. Kelly, I had no idea it was named for royalty. Looks like I need to try some more of these - would you happen to have any recipes by any chance?

That pizza looks sooooo good. I had no idea it was named after royalty. I also thought it was a location or something.

Oh man, now I want pizza. Unfortunately, while we can get "pizza" here, it's hardly Pizza. *sigh*

Wow. There are many royal foods. Seeing as I'm a picky eater, I don't eat any of them, but interesting nonetheless.

I had no idea just how many foods had been named after royalty. Thanks for the info!

Now off to find a snack...

Okay, Marilyn, now you've gone and "flung a craving on me." Fascinating (and well written) bits of tasty history. Bayou Bill

The Battenberg Cake, what an interesting way to leave a legacy and cause me to crave something sweet. Mayhap I can wash it down with some "Earl Grey", my favorite of the twinning line.

Mmmm... any posts about food are good posts indeed...

Mmmm... any posts about food are good posts indeed.

I actually stopped by yesterday and saw this post... and it inspired me to write about the Crepe Suzette over at my blog (www.nancy.cc/2006/08/24/suzette/).

Now I'm dying to try that Price of Wales tea. I thought I'd tried every flavor out there, but I guess not yet...

This is a very interesting article, thank you for sharing.

I always find it interesting to learn about a food's origin-- I never knew that was the reason for the name "Pizza Margherita". I always thought it had somehing to do with a location in Italy.

Thanks for the article. I was amazed to know that ...

Thanks for the article. I was amazed to know that there were so many food items named after Edward VIII. He is perhaps my most favorite character in British Royal family.
