Queen Elizabeth uses knife and fork to eat bananas, does not want to be seen 'gobbling like a monkey'
Queen Elizabeth II has a rather unique way of eating bananas. Her former chef Darren McGrady, who used to work at the Buckingham Palace, reveals that Her Majesty uses a fork and knife to eat the fruit.
Mirror reports that the Queen chooses to use cutlery to eat bananas because she doesn't want to be seen gobbling food "like a monkey". Her strange quirks to do with food don't end there. She has also banned pasta, potato, and garlic. Shellfish is also a no-no because it has high risks of causing food poisoning. McGrady reveals that the Queen dislikes starchy food and steers clear of garlic and onion because the Royal Family is constantly meeting people. The 92-year-old also does not have a taste for out-of-season vegetables and prefers low-fat options like chicken or grilled fish.
