King Albert II, Belgium's current monarch, is a member of the royal house Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, from which Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's current monarch, is also descended. In fact, I believe the link is with Queen Victoria's husband, who was also named Albert. (Most European monarchs from the last century or more seem to be connected to Victoria; they're all some kind of cousin...)
Anyhoo, just a tidbit of trivia that might come in handy.
Sorry no recipe tonight, but I'll definitely post one tomorrow. Cheers!
