I will be watching the coronation on my iPad, can’t stand Huw Edwards all day doing the commentary. I will watch on Sky news, they were very good showing the queens funeral.

when comes to you brits my favorite day is sept 13. that day in 1814 was the battle of Fort McHenry. that day the british fleet failed cower the the soldiers who died keeping the flag aloft. that battle gave the USA our national anthem.
Though I hear do to cost of living there will not be many roast oxen a common coronation tradition.
here is good dish for coronation better than that embarrassing quiche. the 1815 version chicken a la maryland. the abomination usually served in UK. and my version
Indeed @BenCotto … IME Chicken Maryland is something that should only be in the menu for a large number of people by a professional style set up … particularly when there are likely to be a lot of children about.
I’m also interested how Chicken Maryland could be considered appropriate for a primarily UK and British Commonwealth celebration given that Maryland declared independence from Britain in 1776 😵💫? Maybe there’s a secret longing in some quarters for ‘the old days’ 😉
@wargarden I’m interested to know where in the UK you were served that ‘abomination’? I and many Brits had many meals of Chicken Maryland when Bentwaters was an active USAF base back in the 70/80s and many of the service folk from the base lived amongst us in Suffolk villages. We were invited to many private parties as well as big celebrations on the base itself. Many of us were taught to cook Chicken Maryland by our American friends … I suspect that the England of your imagination is a very different place to the reality.
all need is portable gas burner to cook chicken maryland if you can make funnel cake at street fairs you could make chicken maryland. opps maybe you don't have funnel cake.
as for being appropriate if it was not for chicken a la maryland. King Edward VIII. might I never have abdicated. it was maryland cooking by wallace simpson that got him to marry her. cookery that charmed a king. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/4615337#
as for chicken maryland in Uk the real thing has never been served because because you brits serve it with fried banana and you forget the cream gravy. also real chicken maryland is never battered; it is dredged in seasoned flour..
I can assure you it wasn’t Wallis (please note correct spelling) Simpson’s cooking that seduced Edward VIII … the answer to that lies in Shanghai not Maryland … but that is not a subject for a family forum 🤪
And as for gas burners and grills … every garden centre in the UK is full of them … but there are huge safety and insurance issues around non-professionals using gas cylinders in a public place … particularly where crowds of children may be.
A street party is a very relaxed affair with lots of neighbouring families all joining in and contributing.
you really have some strange ideas about the UK @war garden 572 … when was it you said you were last over here?
