If the coronation quiche took most of us by surprise when it made its debut on the royal family’s Twitter account on Monday lunchtime (17 April), the reaction from some quarters was depressingly predictable. Nigel Farage told Australian television that his heart sank at the news, describing it as the “dullest, most uninspiring and most politically correct dish that has ever been produced for a major occasion… truly ghastly”.
Farage’s followers, meanwhile, labelled the “bloody woke coronation quiche” as the “dull and boring as the future [sic] king” on his “Eco Nett Zero band wagon [sic]”, with one objecting that “surely it should be vegetarian ‘flan’, now that we’re out of the EU. What was the point of vote leave if we can’t rid ourselves of mucky French food?”
