We all know the evil queen has an affinity with apples. Whether it be poison apples, apple turnovers or apple cider she’s not only the queen of evil, but she’s the queen of apples as well. Even managing to have Honeycrisp apples before they were invented.
But Regina seems to also have a thing for cooking lasagne and I see some symbolism here.
[*]Similar to the onion story in shrek, Lasagnes have layers, cheese, pasta, mince, pasta, mince etc, I feel this could be a metaphor for Regina, first you assume she’s evil, then you warm to her, then she’s still evil, then she tries to be good, then she turns back to evil etc.
[*]Also, she said she adds chilli flakes to give it that fiery kick, which suggests to me, the fiery element in her isn’t in there naturally either, it’s been added in.
Furthermore, we’ve seen her cook Lasagne to a different standard on 3 different occasions.
[*]When her intentions were selfish ones and trying to steal Owen from his father, the lasagne is Owen’s words tasted terrible.
[*]When she was acting to stop Snow’s true love, but was developing a crush on David, and was trying to seduce him, he said the lasagne was good, but still not great as a lot was leftover.
[*]However, when her intentions were pure, and she baked a lasagne for Henry, when she wants to build bridges, everyone praises it and the whole thing is eaten. Her lasagne tastes as good as her intentions are when she’s making it.
