Did you know that every coronation in Britain after Queen Elizabeth has a special royal dish? And, it’s always chicken

This column was not my idea. Last month, my friend, Ashok Malik, the writer and think-tanker (is that even a word?) messaged me with an idea for Rude Food.

The original Coronation Chicken was invented in 1953 by Rosemary Hume and her students at the Le Cordon Bleu school in London. It was served at a banquet for dignitaries who had come to London to attend the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. (I T S / SHUTTERSTOCK)

What made Poulet Reine Elizabeth unusual was the cold sauce, which was made from chopped onion, tomato puree, red wine, bay leaf, apricot puree, lemon, cream and — wait for it — curry powder. (Shutterstock)
