The royal families of Europe are traditionally avid dog handlers, pampering their Corges, Labradors and Wolfhounds. However, thanks to the magazine of the secular chronicle of UD & SE, the Danes learned a lot of unexpected about the addictions of their Prince Henrik. The prince loves dogs, but in his own way: in finely chopped form, slightly fried and served on a plate. “Dog meat tastes a rabbit,” he says. “Or maybe a dried kid or - yes, for sure! - Valvyatin. It looks like a milk calf, only dry.”
The culinary addictions of the 72-year-old prince, writes The Times (the full text on the website inopressa.ru ), cause concern for two reasons. Firstly, he is the spouse of Queen Margreta and the prince-consort of the country, proclaiming his commitment to the struggle with cruelty to animals. Secondly, he is an honorary president of the Danish Club of Dachshunds.
The prince rarely appears without his dachshund. In an interview, he said that he would like to be born in the next life of the court dachshund of the Danish kingdom and advised his parents to "raise children like dogs." He even wrote a poem dedicated to his beloved dachshund by Evity. The poem says: "I love to stroke you on the wool/ and watch it smoothly goes to./ Dear dog, you are so special for me."
The yellow press of Denmark in the 1990s widely covered the drama experienced by the prince when one of the royal dachshunds disappeared. Now, after the unexpected recognition of Prince Henrik, the newspapers are asked: was the dog somewhere in the kitchen? However, not all citizens are addicted to their monarch. “We must give the prince the proper justice,” says Lass Hansen, a lover of dogs, an EU Embassy in Copenhagen. “He’s a Frenchman, and the French do not eat - horses, snails.”
Confirmation of this is among the books translated by the prince into Danish. One of them is a collection of recipes called: "There is no need to have one goose liver!" Apparently, peculiar tastes developed among Prince Henrik in Vietnam, where he spent his childhood. In this country, baked dogs of the dog remains a branded dish. “I have no prejudice to dog meat,” he says. “These dogs are grown for consumption, like chickens.”
The prince's words strengthened the Danes in the opinion that he is an eccentric eccentric who plays the piano perfectly, composes his own music, draws, publishes two poetic collections, participates in sailing races and eats dogs. Neither the queen of Denmark, who smokes like a steam locomotive, nor her husband feel the desire for political correctness.
