There may be nothing that seems as chic as some hors-d'oeuvres served with champagne. However, there is one thing that can prevent a delicious appetizer from looking elegant in your hand: its size. According to a report by The Sydney Morning Herald, the British royal family likely understands this. Professional high-class caterer Matthew Haigh told the outlet that chefs understand that the upper echelon doesn't like large hors-d'oeuvres: "We always design menus for our clients who host cocktail events to avoid foods that take more than two bites, that are overly constructed, for example, piled high like Mount Everest and risk collapsing, and that are laden with sauces."
Because of this societal rule, the British royal family probably avoids eating large appetizers. After all, it's difficult to look elegant while attempting to cram a palm-sized sandwich into one's mouth. As per Reader's Digest, the royal kitchen seems to follow this rule, often trying to serve food in small pieces. Ex-palace chef Darren McGrady told the outlet that he used to prepare "one-inch eyes of lamb meat" for the royals. Apparently, though, Prince Philip would break the family's small servings rule, even offering to trade dinner with the staff to get his hands on a larger hunk of meat.
