King Spaniel Soufflé recipe

Royal Spaniel: The spaniel migrated from China through Japan and Spain and ended up in England where it became a big hit and royal favorite. It was said that Mary Queen of Scots owned a spaniel and that this loyal companion followed her up the scaffold as she was led to her death bed in 1567. After this, the breed was named for the royal roué, King Charles II.
