yes the Queen had a menu bought the chef's would suggest the food and the Queen would choose what she wanted each day wrong hey down Newton your channel and gave you an instant subscribe well done thanks Rob I love instant subscribes was the deciding factor for you to move from England to Dallas again after the princess died I wasn't sure what I wanted to do so I decided that I wanted to explore America and moved across here with my wife Wendy and my daughter Kelly and we've been here for over 20-something years now which is probably something you can tell with my Texan American accent right Jaclyn hey Darren I don't know if I'm late but I just wanted to ask what do you think about Malaysian food I love your videos thanks jack I love making the videos Jack I love Malaysian food I was in Malaysia just last year and I was eating laxer I was eating beef rendang you have some incredible foods there I mean it's a melting pot you know you get all that food coming in from India China and Singapore and so I I just love Malaysian food I love the blending there and maybe I should do it maybe I should do a beef rendang uh sometime that'll be fun wouldn't it not sure if it'd be as good as yours Ayesha how did you end up running okay company in Dallas Texas how do you move from the palace to Dallas Asia seriously well my catering company is called eaten royally I called it that after my first cookbook it's in Dallas Texas it's based in Dallas Texas we do events all over Dallas Fort Worth but also all over the country to the team fly out and we do events were back from Laguna Beach and from New York and from Florida we were down in Palm Springs and Palm Beach both and I had the most amazing time flying around the country doing corporate events and private dinner parties too so I started that not long after I moved over here to Dallas and we're having so much fun with eating Roy Lee Vaibhav so did the queen ever order fast food okay Panza I made a big mistake in the last video the Q&A the title was did the Queen ever autopass food and in post-production we cut it my mistake hands up my mistake so answering this one or maybe wait to the next song no I can't do that the Queen never ordered fast food you know when you've got 20 chefs in the kitchen why would you just call down to the kitchen and order whatever food you want and that's what the Queen and all the royal family would do so no William inherited though they love McDonald's food when they were small but I'm told that it's because of the little toys and not the burgers horror central hey Darren have you ever used truffles in any of your dishes since it's a very high-class food you know I have I love truffles I love cooking with them I think all chefs do especially you know one would do any tallien food there's just such a thrill and excitement when you go truffle hunting down there's a picture of me truffle hunting in Italy and Giotto the little dog although when he finds the little truffles amazing your heart's pounding and then lays down as she carefully dig them up and you pull out big truffles like this if you've never been truffle hunting something you've got to put on your bucket list Ted do the Royals ever cook their own food if not what they know how to cook by the way I don't know what it is but I just love your videos keep not knowing what it is Ted and keep loving my videos I appreciated that the Royals have had cooked their own food Prince Philip was an amazing chef you know he loved to cook on the grill loved to cook up Balmoral and he teach me things I mean he was so knowledgeable he'd been cooking on the grill for so long he was a great cook the Queen no not so much but the junior rawls cook too so and of course William and Kate Perry omegan they loved to cook the amazing question can I hire you that's not the amazing question it's the amazing question question can I hire you yes you can anyone can hire us you cannot hire eating royally -
