“We’d make the jam at Balmoral Castle with gorgeous Scottish strawberries from the gardens,” he said, according to The List. 

McGrady also revealed the meaning behind “penny” in the sandwich name. He told the publication the word penny refers to the “size of the old English penny.”

Speaking of favorite foods, Her Royal Highness likes to indulge in simple and plain meals. In an earlier interview with Coffee Friend, McGrady described the royal’s food tastes as “frugal.”

“The one thing you can say about the Queen is that she is very frugal,” he explained. “It was one of the things that really surprised me, when I moved from The Savoy to Buckingham Palace, I thought every day would be smoked salmon, foie gras, caviar, but no. The Queen is very, very frugal, and it’s simple and plain foods. That comes from her early years of growing up during the war.”
