Independent: Trump said he ate ‘whatever the hell they served us’ at Windsor banquet during UK state visit: Latest

Donald Trump’s visit to the UK finished without controversy despite a number of issues – including the recent sacking of US ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson – threatening to sour proceedings

Donald Trump has said he ate “whatever they hell they served us” during a banquet staged in his honour at Windsor Castle.

Trump said being with the “wonderful” King was the best part of his historic state visit to the UK, as he heaped praise on the royal family following his departure.

The US leader said he saw more paintings “than any human being has ever saw” and when asked what he ate at the Windsor Castle banquet staged in his honour, he said: “Whatever the hell they served us.”

Guests at the lavish event – attended by “the biggest people in the world” according to Mr Trump – were treated to Hampshire watercress panna cotta with parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad, followed by organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes, with a thyme and savoury infused jus.

Mr Trump, who is known to have a sweet tooth, is likely to have enjoyed the dessert – a bombe glacee cardinal, which is a vanilla ice cream bombe with Kentish raspberry sorbet interior with lightly poached Victoria plums.
