Can't blame them for trying lol. I'll pass. Cheers.
If I see them on my next trip to the international market…into the cart they go!

I'm an anglophile but not a monarchist, so I'll be skipping this one. ( I am extremely interested in the Royals, but not because I love them)
I know, heresy!
PS. Also not a nazi

I heard that McDonalds was planning a "Jubilee Big Mac" using corgi meat...

I also noticed that Heinz is calling them "limited edition" condiments.
That really makes me cringe!!
Firstly, because Salad cream is not exactly a prized gourmet product - they make over 700,000 bottles a week, so it´s not like it´s going to be very "limited". Secondly, I´d associate a "limited edition" with something intrinsically valuable: an antique, a work of art, a bottle of whisky, etc. - not something to slap on a sarnie.
Finally, because the marketers are overstepping their limits. Don´t try and glamourise something that´s not intrinsically glamourous!

Its silly as its only the packaging changing! The contents remain the same. Top marks for the daft names though.
I'm not a monarchist either.

" Salad Queen"...
Well, apart from reminding me of ABBA´s " Dancing Queen" - which is totally irrelevant - also invokes other thoughts.
None of them relevant to HM Queen Elizabeth!

I didn't know strawberries and cream were considered quintessentially British.

My dear girl; Wimbledon and Ascot would be distraught without a surfeit of regal fruit and enriched curds, don´t you know?

Well I just wasn't aware that the mother country invented the concept! I suppose it's been popular since before the Revolutionary War then?My dear girl; Wimbledon and Ascot would be distraught without a surfeit of regal fruit and enriched curds, don´t you know?

There is, of course, a competition to establish HM´s Platinum Jubilee Pudding. Entries closed on 2nd April. I believe it was Fortnum & Mason which initiated the competition - and I suppose it´s logical since we Brits (with one exception - me) love our puddings.
The judges are as follows: Platinum Jubilee Pudding
One awaits the astounding, breathtaking results with bated breath....

I have a Christmas pudding I’m holding onto for the jubilee.
