I'll be learning the pledge of allegiance. No time to make pastry when there's oaths to swear. I still take my brownie promise to love thy king very seriously

Fairislefandango · 02/05/2023 18:56

Fgs. Make the quiche or don't. Make the pastry yourself or buy it. Honestly, how petty! People are not going to suddenly embrace 'clean eating' because of one recipe.

I didn't even realise the tart was compulsory-and I hate spinach. I am going to risk not making one. There will be too many of us to send to the Tower surely?

Flotillas of prison hulks are currently mustering in the Thames in front of the Tower. Now I know why. All who fail to make the tart, or make it but depart from the official recipe, will be rounded up by the SAS by Saturday evening and sentenced to transportation without appeal. Fact.

Wholemeal pastry sounds incredibly sad.

It's soooo good. Nutty and filling, I love it.

Surely you make the pastry you like, blocks of pastry are for people like me who hate baking

Clean eating?

I asked about this the other day. It's what used to be known as cooking. You use recognisable ingredients only. I was born in the early 1960s and by my teens we were eating vast amounts of food made from packets, tins, and other highly processed foods. Still here. Still functioning.

Just had a look on royal.co.uk - I'm a bit peeved that the recipe for quiche uses '1 or 2 block of ready-made shortcrust pastry'.
Not only is this dearer thank making it yourself, I'm pretty sure its a UPF. Certainly not clean eating - there was me hoping to make a wholemeal version, as I much prefer wholemeal flour and its obv healthier too.
I slightly despair - on this momentous occasion, can't we just be encouraged to do it properly. Its not that hard!!!

ALL Quiche are UPF! The clue is in the name 'processed' Any food which has the ingredients going through many different processes is processed food.

However, just because you can buy pastry which comes in packaging, doesn't make it 'junk' as it may well contain the exact same ingredients as homemade pastry. Personally I would call ALL pastry 'junk food' even if it's made with whole meal flour.

This coronation has really brought them out.

Maybe they thought that anyone who doesn't eat lard would be able to work it out for themselves that they could swap the lard for all butter, or the lard and the butter for Trex or whatever? Or use ready made pastry, which has the added benefit of offending the OP. Likewise with the flour, just use wholemeal flour if you prefer. Or, shock horror, do away with the pastry completely and just have it crust free.

It's not like the Quiche Police are going to be examining people's efforts for authenticity and confiscating those from anyone who didn't follow the recipe to the letter.

Tsk, tsk. Rash words. You'll be regretting that on Sunday, Barbara, as you and your fellow felons start thinking about the mediaeval torture instruments in the Tower.

CaptainMyCaptain · 02/05/2023 19:09

YABU you can make your own pastry using whatever ingredients you prefer.

ThanksItHasPockets · 02/05/2023 19:14

You are talking absolute bobbins.

MrsTWH · 02/05/2023 19:14

Maybe just Google a recipe for wholemeal pastry then and do that?

I thought it would count as processed but not UPF? I thought processed food contains real ingredients and UPF is things like chicken nuggets which bare no resemblance to real food at all.

I know what it refers to, and your definition is a good one

Im simply perplexed at the quibble over the recipe for a tart/quiche being clean eating or not clean eating. Why on earth would it need to meet that definition, who cares whether it is or not?

Sisisimone · 02/05/2023 20:05

Broad bean and tarragon quiche? 🤮🤮🤮🤮

SaveMeFromForearms · 02/05/2023 20:10

Coronation Chicken itself is rank...Coronation Quiche sounds brutal.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 02/05/2023 20:10

It's a spinach and cheese tart, really, with a custard made from egg, cream and milk binding the filling together. The broad beans could easily be replaced by edamame beans or just omitted. I'm planning to make it, though possibly not on Saturday, and I would prefer nutmeg with the spinach, which is a great pairing.

Gets on my nerves. Food magazines even specify blocks of shortcrust pastry now - if you're reading food magazines, surely you can knock up some shortcrust. Lazy writing, frankly.

Disclainer: Ready-made puff pastry and filo are among the very few UPF I allow in the house, however 🙈

Not lazy writing if you actually look at the recipe. It DOES have the ingredients and recipe for the pastry. In addition, after the ingredients for the pastry, it says OR ready made. I assume the OP simply missed it - so maybe more likely 'lazy' reading on their part.

Well if pork fat is a no-no then work out what you could substitute for that.

Literally from the recipe The pastry includes lard, but you can swap this for butter to make it vegetarian

What about people that don't like broad beans?

Should there be a separate recipe for those people?

What about people who are on a low fat diet - special version of the recipe for them?

People who loathe tarragon - special version for them?

Vegans? Special recipe for them?

Dairy free? Another version?

What if you don't like quiche?

It's just a recipe.

Make it or don't make it.

Show quote history

Where does it say that about butter in the recipe linked above? I did a search but couldn’t see that?

I do think if you post a recipe for a quiche that is actually vegetarian you should include a substitute for the pork fat. I really can’t see the bit about butter as a sub, from the link posted above.

On the other hand, I was upset today to find there don't seem to be any pre-made supermarket versions of this momentous quiche as planned to stick one in the online shop along with all my other UPF 😂 I totally presumed that there would be a version in every supermarket alongside the Lorraine et al. Missed a trick there. Are they not allowed? Quiche embargo?

mainsfed · 02/05/2023 20:58

@anniewaitsforthelasttime i think it takes months to create and launch a new product in supermarkets, they probably don’t think it’s worth it for one day. But then I have seen coronation sweets etc, so a cquiche doesn’t seem unfeasable 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 02/05/2023 20:59

Possibly they weren't told about it sufficiently early to be able to roganise industrial production of the Coronation Quiche. I don't think they were selling Platinum Jubilee Trifles last year, were they?

The official recipe is here. https://www.royal.uk/the-coronation-quiche It says to use ready-made pastry if you like. I do think it's odd that the official recipe for an otherwise vegetarian dish (NB: not vegan) specifies half lard, half butter, but anybody skilled enough to contemplate making their own pastry is hopefully knowledgeable to know that lard is pork fat and if that's a problem use all butter, or half and half with a vegetarian/vegan fat, or just the latter.

I don't know but I looked everywhere for that trifle last year but you could only make it, I was hoping for a M&S one. I also looked online for the quiche but there weren't any.
