Last night, my wife, Susan, took out a Scarborough turkey leg (ScreamS actually).  She made pasta with butter and garlic and topped it with sliced turkey leg meat.  Simple but it was a fantastic meal!

Does anyone else have Ren Faire food recipes?

Not "I grab meat-on-a-stick and a beer then go watch the Bawdy Wenches show" but what do you do with the Ren Faire food you take home?

How would one take home such food? I've never heard of such a thing (other than nuts and stuff that is already in sacks).

But ..... the turkey legs at faire aren't actually turkey though right?

I like to get a couple of Steak on a Stakes or Chicken on a Sticks and take them home.  I heat them up and serve with rice and a green salad.   Tastes like I slaved over a hot grill.

There have been times at closing gate when the ribs or turkey legs are "buy one get one".  We've brought home turkey legs before.  Curran's favorite is to pull the meat off of them into bite-size chunks, then fix with pasta and shrooms in a cream sauce later.

:o I'd be inclined to get some for later too with that going on. Never noticed it before at CRF

I've never actually taken home food from faire before other than cinnamon nuts which would be really good crushed up over ice cream.  However, I do like making faire-style food at home, does that count?   I like making Scotch eggs,  and whenever I make beef stew I serve it over a large split open crusty roll, like one of my favorite food vendors does.  I've also made fried mac and cheese minus the stick. Nom!  I know that's not exactly what you were talking about, but it's still good eatin'!

If there is anything left of the cooler after a weekend, I used to take it home and make slum gulleon.
(or, hobo stew as some know it as)
Tastes warm, the taste always changes as per the ingredients added.
Plus! It smells like faire in the middle of the week!!

One time we had Venison and what is the thinly sliced meat called, something fancy.. I forgot. Starts with a 'B', I think. another time it was a veggy medly that I threw some chili mac in for flavor.

Wow... I didn't think anyone else ever knew the term "slum gulleon". I thought that was a saying my mom made up  :D .

I cannot remember which female relative said it first, but, that's what we all call it. I asked my uncle one time what it meant, and he said it was the nicest thing that he could say about it.

Also, if there are sweets left over anything tastes good mixed with ice cream!!
(And! It makes it look like Marble Slab/Stone Cold Creamery-esque quality)

i made some Scarborough chichen... seasoned it with "parsley, sage, rosemary and tyme"... pretty good
