No Garlic
Back in 2018, the then Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles, appeared on MasterChef Australia and revealed that the British Royal family does not have garlic. The Royal family including the Queen preferred food without onion and garlic.
Low Carb Dinner
According to Hello Magazine, the Queen ate low-carb food at dinner. Food with starch including pasta, potatoes, and rice was never on the royal dinner menu.
Queen’s Favorite Cake
Darren McGrady, former royal chef, in an interview with Recipes Plus, revealed that the Queen used to enjoy a slice of chocolate biscuit cake. Prepared in Buckingham Palace, she used to consume a slice of it every day.

The Queen did occasionally, however, enjoy Gin, wine or champagne.
