One day in August 2004, diners visiting a cafeteria at Queen Elizabeth's Scottish summer retreat at Balmoral were surprised to observe the Queen herself queue for lunch before walking around and chatting with them. Elizabeth's lunch? Venison burgers (£2), bacon rolls (£1,70), a plate of stovies (a type of meat stew) and oatcakes. According to one witness, she also had a £1 pot of tea and a cake.
So why was the Queen eating at the cafeteria instead of being served by her staff at the castle? Elizabeth, ironically, could not enter the castle, because it was open to tourists at the time.
Etymology: Venison stems from the Old French venesoun, "meat of large game", especially deer or boar, and from the Latin venatio, "a hunt" and the meat that results from the animals killed during the hunt.
Words for meat from other animals:
pig = pork
cow = beef
lamb = mutton
