In a new book from Charles Oliver, the son of a former royal servant, the secrets of Buckingham Palace’s kitchen are laid bare, including a particularly stomach-churning incident involving a slug.
Oliver writes that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are given a notebook at meal times, in which they are invited to share their feedback. And though we like to imagine Queen E writing “thank u, next” on every page, according to Oliver “the Queen is not fussy about food” and the book is rarely used.
However, on one unique occasion, Elizabeth tore a page from the book and plopped the body of a dead slug atop it, writing, “I found this in the salad — could you eat it?” That’s gonna be a “no” from us, Dawg.

We have a lot of questions: 1) How does such an oversight get made in the salad of the literal Queen of England — like maybe take a second look? 2) Did this lead to anyone’s firing and/or resigning? How do you show your face again after accidentally (or, gasp, *purposefully*) feeding Britain’s reigning monarch a dead mollusk?? 3) Did the Queen really go through the trouble of picking the slug from her salad and writing a nasty message to the staff, or did she have another member of the staff dictate it for her? 4) Is Charles Oliver a real name?
Alas, I suppose we’ll have to wait for the February 2019 publication of Dinner at Buckingham Palace to find the answers we seek.
