If you haven’t already heard, Kate Middleton (the Duchess of Cambridge) is currently pregnant with her third child. Sure, she may be royalty, but when it comes to pregnancy she’s just like everyone else: Having weird cravings and spats of morning sickness.
At the beginning of her pregnancy, it was revealed that the Duchess suffers from hyperemesis gravidarum (a severe form of morning sickness). Dealing with severe morning sickness isn’t new for the duchess—she’s had to handle severe nausea and food hypnotherapy with her pregnancies in the past. According to SELF, the duchess tries to combat it with a strict plant-forward diet. The diet specifically includes avocados, berries, and oatmeal. These simple foods help soothe her severe morning sickness. Not pregnant or royal? Here are a few reasons you might want to consider a plant-based diet.
But like most pregnant woman, there are always a few odd cravings to deal with, and the Duchess is no exception. At one point, the royal sent her husband Prince William to grab a jar of pickles for her. She specifically asked that the pickles be cut into thin slices and served on well-done toast. The Prince sent for this specific order right away, only to find out that the kitchen didn’t even have pickles to serve! Nevertheless, a quick delivery was made and the Duchess’ pregnancy cravings were restored.
Only a few weeks left until Kate Middleton will be able to enjoy all of her favorite foods again. Maybe she’ll even join Queen Elizabeth for some of her meals since she’s always enjoying these delicious 13 foods every single day.
Scotch Egg
Breakfast lovers will go crazy for this two-in-one dish. It's a hard-cooked egg wrapped in sausage meat, then deep-fried.
Yorkshire Pudding
No, this is not a dessert. It's more like a savory soufflé and is served with roast beef. Try our Onion Yorkshire Puddings.
Fish and Chips
British people don't eat potato chips with their deep-fried fish fillets. "Chips" actually means french fries. Check out our version.
Bangers and Mash
Americans call this dish sausage and mashed potatoes. The Brits just have cooler slang.
Bubble and Squeak
This dish is made with potatoes, cabbage and leftover veggies. It gets its name from the sound it makes when it cooks.
Toad in the Hole
There aren't any toads in this dish–only sausages that look like them. The American version is quite different.
Welsh Rarebit (or Welsh Rabbit)
This sounds like a recipe you'd make after going hunting, but it's meatless—basically cheese on toast.
Spotted Dick
The Brits sure have weird names for pudding. This popular recipe is a boiled pudding "spotted" with raisins.
Crumpets
You probably know you're supposed to serve crumpets with tea, but what exactly are they? Think of English muffins that aren't split apart.
Eton Mess
Named after Eton College (alma mater of princes William and Harry), Eton Mess is a dessert made with strawberries, meringue and whipped cream. It's similar to a pavlova.
