Beefeater
Beefeater is a term often associated with the Yeomen Warders, a ceremonial guard charged with the protection of the Tower of London. The term is also used to refer to a brand of gin produced in the United Kingdom.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "Beefeater" is believed to have originated from the French word 'buffetier'. Buffetiers were guards in the palace of French kings. They protected the king's food. However, the term has been associated with the Yeomen Warders because of the belief that they consumed beef as part of their diet.
Yeomen Warders[edit | edit source]
