King Charles held a State Banquet for the German President on Wednesday evening, and 150 guests including Keir Starmer sat down for a nice evening meal. Meanwhile many thousands will struggle to put food on the table this Christmas even with the help of Food Banks. It could be a scene from Victorian Britain but of course its Britain 2025
The menu for the banquet was a mix of British and German cuisine.
- Tartlet of hot smoked trout with langoustines, quail eggs and shellfish sauce
- Windsor partridge supreme wrapped in puff pastry with confit cabbage and port sauce
- Crushed carrots and swede
- Assortment of winter vegetables
- Baked Alaska with blackberry, vanilla and raspberry ice creams
There was a special cocktail for the event, made with cherry brandy and chocolate, which was meant to evoke the classic retro flavour of Black Forest gateau.
