On March 7, National Crown Roast of Pork Day, Britain’s Prince Harry greeted his subjects in traditional regalia: an actual roast worn on his head as a crown. “I am honored and proud to have the opportunity to carry on this centuries-old tradition,” Prince Harry told assembled reporters, pausing to lick away a dribble of delicious, savory pork juice from his cheek. “I really feel that I’m a part of history today.” The crown roast—which is actually just pork loin somebody tied into a circle—gets its name both from its unique shape and from the British royal family’s predilection for wearing it on ceremonial occasions. Queen Elizabeth I purportedly preferred to accessorize with fresh parsley.
