Italian term

bocconcino del re

Italian to English Art/Literary Cinema, Film, TV, Drama other
This is a film, a scene in an inn, drunken cowboys and bar-girls, a big roast pig on a spit... The waiter hands a piece to one of the bar girls and says "Il bocconcino del re per la regina!".
So far I've thought of "The king's morsel", "The king's tit-bit"... any other ideas? Thanks.

I think your ideas are very nice. How about...a royal morsel for your highness...(or for m'lady).
Just a thought.

Uh, yes, I guess. It just didn't quite swing for me. But you're probably right.
