No bad breath - Which is why she never eats anything that has onions in it...

No bad breath - ...or garlic! It's been said the Queen made this a rule for the entire royal family, thus assuring their breaths remain fresh under any and all circumstances.

Out of season? Out of the question! - She's pretty strict about that as well. Any fruit or vegetable that's out of season can't be served at the palace.

Well done - Meat cooked rare? Not for Queen Elizabeth. She prefers her beef served well-done to avoid food poisoning.

Seafood -

That is also why she officially banned all royal family members from eating seafood.

Tap water - The same goes for drinking tap water!

Fork fruit - Admit it, bananas are probably the most embarrassing fruit to eat in public. So to avoid any such embarrassment, she only eats her bananas in slices.

No egg white - She loves scrambled eggs, but they have to be done without the egg whites.

"Without the crust, please" -

Her Majesty the Queen doesn't mind a slice of bread either, as long as her sandwiches are prepared without the crusts.

Starch - When eating alone she tries to avoid starchy foods.

Potatoes - Potatoes also don't feature on the Queen's menu.

Tea - Queen Elizabeth's favorite tea is English breakfast, and she takes it without sugar and with a dash of milk.

What does she like? - If you think the Queen is strict about what she doesn't want to be served, just wait! She's also quite particular about what she does like.

Fish terrine - One starter served without fail at Buckingham Palace is Gleneagles pate. Composed of three different kinds of fish, salmon, trout and mackerel, it's eaten with a slice of Melba toast as well as crème fraîche.

A royal biscuit - She also loves jam pennies, which are small round biscuits with a raspberry jam filling in its center. Apparently, it was a childhood favorite for the Queen and her younger sister Margaret.

Wine - Every now and again, in moderation of course, she likes to have a glass of wine. She's particularly fond of sweet wine from Germany. However, her favorite alcoholic drink is said to be a gin and Dubonnet mix, with a thin slice of lemon and ice.

Sandwiches - She eats her sandwiches without the crusts, and her favorite things to go on them are cucumber, smoked salmon, eggs with mayonnaise, ham and mustard, or tuna. The bread can be white or wholegrain.

Sandwiches - However, the sandwiches have to be cut into small square pieces with the corners removed, so that they form an octagon.

Scones - She loves to have scones with her afternoon tea.

Fish - At 94 years old, the Queen has an iron constitution, which is in large part due to her healthy diet. Whenever she eats alone she has grilled fish, her favorite being sole, accompanied by grilled vegetables like zucchini and spinach.

Pheasant - Sunday in the UK isn't Sunday without a roast. The royal family is no exception, and they often have pheasant, accompanied by Yorkshire pudding with gravy and vegetables.

Carrots - While staying at Balmoral Castle or Sandringham House she'll often ask for carrots, which obviously have to be served exactly the way she wants them. They must be cut lengthwise (and be exactly the same length) and peeled. However the snack isn't actually for her...

Carrots - ...it's for her horses! And if the carrots are cut improperly, the Queen might blame you if her horses bite her hand while they're being fed.

Cereal - Yes, even the Queen of England eats cereal for breakfast just like the rest of us mere mortals. However, rather oddly, she doesn't eat it from a bowl, but from plastic Tupperware.

Strawberries - The Queen is also very partial to red berries, which are grown in gardens at some of her residences across the country. However, her favorites are strawberries grown at Balmoral Castle. Though she also quite likes the white peaches grown at Windsor Castle.

Cake -

So clearly the Queen takes her food very seriously, but she's still always in for a nice little sweet. Every weekend she enjoys a dark chocolate cake.
