Haven't discussed TRF food & such as a separate thread in a while, so......
I'm already jonesing for a big baked potato. Also craving a bread bowl (on those cold days), gyros & souvlaki from the Agora, the Queen's Pantry, the fruit plate from the little place across from the POW, Prime Rib from the POW, & a whole bunch of other stuff. Miss the crawfish sausage from the Cajun place. (Also craving all the great beers but I'm not supposed to drink whilst working ::koffkoff::.)
With all those grills out there for turkey legs & sausage, I wish someone with throw on a rack of ribs for me.
The hamburger from the German side of faire? Oh mah jeebus, SO GOOOOOOOOOD.
I so want a turkey leg and mushrooms on a stick-I swear, I can live off those mushrooms... lol
P.S. I like your pic, Meggers!
The gyros! MMMMMMMM! I have never found a gyro as good as those at TRF!
Loaded baked potato... and ANYthing from the bakery! Oh, I'm hoping for at least one chilly day, also, because they do an awesome hot chocolate!!!
But the fruit plate is also good... and I can't WAIT to have a frozen Sangria!!!
I'm with Meggers on this one... ROYAL HAMBURGER!
*nom nom nom*
The Polish Platter is killer, as is the Prime Rib Trencher...
Just thinking about all the great food there makes me hungry! Can't go wrong with the King's Feast. Here is a link to a good food blog that specializes in dishes from the popular series of books and new HBO series A Game of Thrones, we'll be camping Friday so hoping we can make some of these dishes for that night.

yuppie, the other white meat... what? :D
Dang it, Breanden! Now you've put them on alert.
one of the things that makes them such a fine source of food is their inability to realize when they are being hunted. I doubt they noticed :D
You need a sound spanking!!! Preferably with a leather holed paddle... :P

Hey Ravic,
Have you heard any scuttlebutt on Wenches @ Work?
Rumor was that a crepe place was going in @ 157, but when I was there a couple of weeks back it didn't look like anything had changed.
Of course, a crepe shop next door would probably be my undoing, with the cheesecake on a stick ppl just 2 doors down and the POW directly across the road.
My Wife will from time to time make scotish eggs for me. She takes out the yoke and fills it with cheese, then serves it on a hash brown nest. Oh man I'm in love again.

155, I'm 157.
No, I have not heard from Deb. I'll ask Molly.
If it's a crepe place, I'm stocking up on my insulin now.
Also, a food stand there has the potential to seriously f*up our parking in back.

Ooooo, chocolate dipped cheesecake. Sugar-murder-on-a-schtick.
Can I have meg's picture in food form...it would be quite satisfying and addictive I am sure...Also I want fried mac and cheese....when are they getting deep fried butter sticks?
Did someone say Crepes? That will be my downfall!! ;D :P
I still haven't had a chance to try the deep fried PB&J...
But, yeah... crepes are always good!

Baklava is a must have as well!

Golly, sure sign I need another cup of coffee: You wrote pierogis, I read penguins.
But they sound good. Pierogies, not penguins, that is.
Mmmmmm. roasted penguins....
Emperors have a lot more meat on them than the Fairy penguins do...
Y'know... in case you were wondering. (whistles innocently...)
Man...I am really getting hungry...I want a Scotch Egg!!! (or 3)...and pierogies, and funnel cake...apple dumplings...baked potatoes with BBQ...see what you all started????
Oh man, it left my mind that the cheese in my wifes scotch eggs is apple wood smoked with frickin BACON in it!

Oh, darn... now I can't go back and remove that post as being irrelevant to the thread. :P :D
But wait... we were still talking about food, right? Oh, but last time I checked the TRF menu I didn't see either Emperors OR Fairies... uhhh... or any penguins, either. (more whistling...) ;D
Edit: But I do occasionally fantasize about the King's Nuts... and a nice juicy pickle will make me smile anytime! :D
The pickles are so yummy.
Turkey tenders on a stick about mid-day and for fireworks, sausage on a stick with about 10 rolls to soak up the grease! Then back to the camp site for any kind of pork on the grill and Meade into the evening!
OOO, pickles...*DROOL*...Dang it Rani...here we go again...not nice to get a fat girl thinking about food like this ;D
PS~You can have the King's Nuts Rani....not one of my faves...lol :-*
Side note about pickles. On Harry Potter release weekend, we sold 399 pickles.
Aren't pickles a fat-free food, though? ;)
And I LOVE the King's Nuts!!! Anytime... anywhere!!! :P :D
They may be fat free, but the sodium content has to be outrageous...I usually try to get at least one a day, to help with my leg cramps...I also carry pickle juice with me just in case... :)
I serve Best Maid pickles at the theater. It says one oz is 460mg sodium(or 19% daily value)
Pickles may be really salty but it's good to have something to replace all the electrolytes you're using while you're walking around all day...

Where do you get the pickle juice? I dearly love it but my cardioligist would kill me if I ate that many pickles just for the juice.
I've heard you can get it from pickle vendors but I've never tried.
I love the pickles the sell at TRF! They taste just like the Claussen pickles we buy for ourselves, and they're the best commercial pickles I've ever had. They aren't the pickles my grandma used to make for me, though...

you think about is sex...
Pickles are virtually fat-free, depending on the type. But the dills they serve at faires probably run less than 20 calories total, and those are carb calories. Only thing to watch is if you are on a reduced sodium diet.

Hey... YOU'RE the only one talking about sex around here! ::)
I was talking about cinnamon and brown sugar coated almonds... :P
I liked the Frog Legs at TRF last year also. I wonder if they will be back.
Not sure if I've ever seen a thread that mentioned pickles or the king's nuts that didn't take a turn towards the inevitable.
*with heavy southern drawl* Well ... I nevah! :)
Reuben sandwiches in the German section are out of this world. I usually eat 3 to 4 a day when out @ TRF.
I like the Reubens myself, but they are all the way on the other end of faire from the shop, so...
Also, I remember sitting down to eat in the little biergarten with a friend a few years back.
An actual German family sat down at the next table, and after looking at the menu for a bit, had to ask the waitress-
"What exactly is a Reuben?"
The look on her face was priceless, like it never occurred to her that the Reuben wasn't actually a German food.

How about camp food. I'd love to see what tasty dishes people have come up with in the camp ground.

Ooohhh you just reminded me about CatAshtrophy's chili and Lady Guinevere's chicken-n-dumplings. Cat makes her own chili powder and Guinny is an awesome cook. Hoping we have that again at AHE.
*drool* :P
Alligator... ALLIGATOR! AALLLIIGGAATTTOOORRR :o
Turkey legs! ( Why do they taste like ham? Why? I'm not complaining, I just want to know how I can apply this ham-tech to other meats, including ham )
And the skewered mushrooms... My first fair food. Anyone remember that " American Dad!" where Roger ate that special french bird while Barbara Streisand sung Celine Dion? It was like that, only a thousand times greater.
Though I will say last year I tried some of the Greek food in the Agora.. I will be trying more this year!
There's faaaar too much incredible camp food to try and name it all individually! Particularly during Thanksgiving/Celtic Christmas... Scally and I just wandered from camp to camp Friday night, sampling leftovers... and stayed stuffed all evening!!! :D

I always have something on the fire...
FYI, the fruit stand close to the POW, the place with the chocolate covered cheesecake, will be selling made to order fruit filled crepes. Tasty.
Just another addition to the list of diet destroyers...
I know I'll be over there frequently.
mmm.... proper strawberry crepes with creme...
One of our camp favorites is:
Pumpkin muffins
1 can pumpkin (NOT pumpkin PIE filling)
1 box spice cake mix
That is it two ingredients
Combine put in lined muffin tin and bake per box instructions.
Moist, dense, YUMMY!
Cream cheese frosting.
Bake in advance and freeze.

I'm gonna have to try that one!
freshly popped kettle corn!, beggars potato and fruit plate. yum
The Polish variety plate!! ;) Worth every penny! ;D
Just have to add the cajun chips (fries) - so tasty!
Only 72 more hours and we should be arriving in the parking lot for opening cannon!!
Crepes???? <PERK> REALLY???!!!!!
We may have a VERY HAPPY Ice Queen Faerie.... and likely a very FAT one... hope I don't bust a wing.... LOL
As a public service, I have decided to take it upon myself to evaluate the quality of the crepes as soon a can be arranged this Saturday morn'.
I know the 20 foot walk will be an arduous trek, but I hope it proves worthwhile.
If I am not seen again, take comfort in knowing I most likely passed with a smile on my face...
... along with some sort of strawberry or blackberry and cream mixture.
I am envious of you who get to taste the crepes before I do.
I shall try them first... before the gates even open. *le sigh*
And I can't really eat kettle corn anymore. Not since judging the kettle corn eating contest last year. *shudders*
Well, you should come by and pick me up on your way to their shop.
It's only 2 doors down from ours, and it will be a chance to meet ya before things get hectic :)
I have a package to take back up north with you anyways, for my faire sister Elle. So, it's a date? Saturday morning right before cannon?

Shop 156, Mask Parade.
I'm the good lookin' one. :P
Scotch egg and Royal Hamburger here i come!!
I have a date with an empanada tomorrow morning!
Somebody have a sausage kolache this weekend from the bakery, for Scally and me, please!!!
Fraiser, I insist you eat an extra trencher for me this weekend! OR ELSE!!!
Mmmmm... Prime Rib Trencher...
*drools*
According to the program, they now serve bacon on a stick @ 2 different booths.
My heart just skipped a little....
But is it beer battered deep fried bacon?!? ;D
What did anyone eat this year they want to report on?
Steak on a Stick - 9 out of 10
Mushrooms on a Stick - 3 out of 10 (they were cold)
Pork on a Stick - 2 out of 10 (ice cold)
Empanada - 4 out of 10 (good flavor but cold)
Frog Legs - 10 out of 10
Combo Polish Plate - 10 out of 10
On every one of the ones that were cold the reason is that they cooked more than they were selling and the heat lamps couldn't keep them warm enough to sell them fast enough.
My wife had a Boudin but she is already sleeping so can't ask her. Commemorative cups for large lemonades and ice teas were cool. I think people really enjoyed the Coca-Cola products.

And anyways, shouldn't the Bacon provide some much-needed protein? ;D
The Royal Hamburger... right on the mark. ;)
*NOM!*

Don't know. Didn't get to wander Saturday & I left my swim fins at home yesterday.
Will go looking for it this weekend.
I think the bacon is just a really thick piece on a stick with a roll under it to catch the grease!
This weekend I ate:
Ham and cheese quiche from Queens pantry- DELICIOUS!
BBQ baked potato that I made in crock pots in my RV... managed to make it taste pretty close to the loaded spud I grabbed before parade every day last year... love those things!
2 chocolate dipped cheesecakes on a stick... one for each day- to die for
Fully loaded bratwurst from wursthaus in Germany- delicious as always
sausage kolache from queens pantry- great until the rain soaked the bread through!
That was all... I can't wait to get home to my Royal Hamburg at some point next weekend. Come to the Arborhaus and eat... if for no other reason than to support them because they are LOVELY people. SO friendly. I love my Arborhaus family!
I only got around to having a Strawberry and Nutella crepe, but it was way yummy.
And tho not actual faire food, I was pleasantly surprised with the English Pub burger at Mickey D's.
We don't have those in DFW.
Next weekend I will make like Anthony Bourdain and TRY ALL THE FOODS!

There's also the one from the German area that's NOMY too.
So I had a Royal Hamburger and a Prime Rib Trencher on opening weekend.

Mmmmm, chips at POW pub with 1 pint hard apple cider...yummy.....treats my whole group to lunch Sat....
I meant to post this earlier but I forgot...
I found my new favorite food out at faire Pork and Chicken Souvlaki!!! It's SOOOOO good!
It is extremely rare when I order the same thing twice in a weekend. I don't think I have ever bought the same thing three times in a weekend until this past weekend.
I bought the Cajun fried chicken on a stick three times. It wasn't a meal by itself, but more of a holdover until I ate lunch/dinner/breakfast. Perfectly cooked, perfectly flavored. It isn't spicy hot at all (which is generally a drawback to me) so those who might be afraid of things with the word Cajun in them can feel safe there. Not certain why I never got it before except that is just not normal faire food to me. That would be food I cook at home lol.
*If they ever have rum cake I will be buying that more than three times a weekend I am sure*

OMIGOSH! Bonnie!

If that's in the Queen's Kitchens area (to the right, just a little ways in from the Gates), then that's where I got one of the Grilled Chicken Thai Peanut Wraps on AHE. It was very good, but a bit drippy/messy, so beware getting the sauce on your garb.

At the Queens pantry the Spinach and feta pie is great
If you are in France the Muffletta sandwich is still awesome

Well, I'm gonna try it closing weekend! Can't wait to see you, btw!!!
Can't wait to see you, Lady!
We'll be in the campground tomorrow afternoon!!!
Last weekend I had the pork sundae. It was good. I had another peanut wrap. Not enough peanut sauce on it this time.
You guys need to check out the pastry and dessert case at Queen's Pantry. They have pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cheesecake blondies, Boston Cream Pie, and all sorts of OMFG good sweets. GET IN THERE!
The Queen's Pantry is ALWAYS my first stop in the gates! I love their Quiche Lorraine and Kolaches! ;) The Dirt Fairy and I share those and 2 ice cold milks! ;D
Finally got to try the Pork Sundae. Yes - Awesome.
Also tried the Chili Mac & Cheese. That was fantastic also.
We tried the pork sundae - I think that's my new favorite at Faire!
Greek food is not at all something I'm used to seeing at Faire (MI, AZ, PA) so I had to check it out. The chicken corfu was so yummy! My friend got the seafood one as well and really enjoyed it. A little pricey for me, but it was the only real "meal" we ate the whole weekend.
Really liked the Chicken Biscuit Pot Pie...think it was at Queen's Pantry? Very tasty, warm, filling. Great for a chilly evening.
Also, the chocolate cherry brownie at Queen's Pantry was amazingly good. Got it on a whim on the way out sunday and wished I had gotten it earlier, so i'd have known to get more! lol.
I thought it was good but guess I didn't find what everyone else found in it. Here is my 2011 TRF munchie review for any that care:
Ice Tea - I thought this was a nice edition this year. Had not seen it in the past. I liked that it gave you a cup of ice to use and that it wasn't a soda.
Mead - I liked the Honey Mead quite a bit. The Paragon in the Greek area needs to get the bottles colder though so that it is more enjoyable
Turkey Legs - I really enjoyed them this year. They cooked the fat and skin down so that it was not slimy and it had a good smoke flavor
Fried Mushrooms - First weekend they were horrible and cold. After that they were always hot and tasty.
Frog Legs - Incredibly clean and tasty. Also rather large.
Coconut Fried Shrimp - I didn't like the breading on them at all. It totally hid any flavor of the shrimp
Steak on a Stick - I really liked the one in the French area. They had the spicing correct.
Cadillac George Bar - It needed something. Not sure what but it was slightly dry.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries - I think TRF is able to find some outstanding strawberries but the chocolate they use tastes like cheap Magic Shell.
Chocolate Dipped Banana - Can you believe this year was my first time to eat one. I thought it was really good.
Fruit and Cheese Platter - For anyone who didn't find this little gem you missed out. Cheese, Fruit, Veggies, Dip, and Crackers for $6.00
Fruit Salad - I loved this on the hot days. They keep it really cold and the grapes were outstanding and refreshing
Funnel Cake - It's funnel cake. It's sugar coated fried dough. What more needs be said?
Mixed Nuts - A nice little salty treat while listening to the Ironhill Vagabonds
Turkey Tenders - These little fried pieces of turkey were really good and juicy
Seafood Boat - The chips were good. The fish was great. The shrimp were nasty.
Beef Empanada - Was cold and I was not that impressed with it
Pork on a Stick - This was awful and ice cold
Pork Sundae - It needed more gravy in the pork layer but it was tasty
Super Nachos - They were OK. Needed to be arranged on the plate better. Looked like everything was just thrown on the plate
Nachos (Chips and Cheese) - These were really good
Shish Kabob - This was really good. Juicy chicken with nice char on the veggies
Fried Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich - If you are going to fry a PB&J you need to put on more Peanut Butter but it was pretty decadent.
Cajun Fried Crawfish - These were alright actually compared to other fried seafood I had out there they were up at the top, under the fish
Cajun Fried Chicken Breast On A Stick - OMG.... please put these on the menu in the afterlife because they are awesome
Kettle Corn - TRF has really good kettle corn. Right amount of salt and sweet
Polish Combo Plate - This is one of my favorites. You must try this. It does have some cost to it but it is all really good.
Queen's Pantry Iced Cappucino - This is a great drink on a hot day and 2011 had many of those
Thai Chicken Wrap - It was good the first time and the second time I had it they needed more peanut sauce
Shepherd's Pie - I didn't like it
Queen's Pantry Desserts - OMG.... these were baked by an angel. They are all wonderful and really good priced for the portion
Sea Devil Fish and Chips - Good dish but kinda costly
Pickle - Nice and ice cold and at $2.00 they are a good pick me up
Pretzels - I think the way they carry them around is cool but everyone I got was hard because of being out in the air on the pole
Jerky - I hated it. It was thin and tough to chew
Cinnamon Roasted Nuts - Very tasty for being the King's Nuts
Gyros - Very good (kinda messy)
Pork Souvlaki Combination Plate - It was good but the pork had alot of fat
That is all I remember. Keep in mind we are a family of 7 and we were there 12 of the 17 days. With the kids I may of just had a bite of something I am reviewing. Overall what I can say is the TRF offers something for everyone's tastes. Sometimes you just have to find that hidden gem.
How soon until 2012?
Well, we didn't get to try the pork sundae, but we DID discover something new this year with the baked potatoes that are at the Steak-on-a Stick place close to the gates just down from the Queen's Pantry. It's not on the menu, so you have to know about it to order it... It's called the Kitchen, and it's a combination of ALL of the different things that can be put on their potatoes!!! It has Beef Stew, BBQ, Chili & Cheese, Broccoli and Cheese, and sour cream and butter... or you can get it with any combination of those, and it's STILL only $6!!!
It's definitely our new favorite and I do believe we even converted a couple of new believers, as well! :D
This was my favorite snack at festival this year. Just love that kettle corn!

I'm... just not even going to say it. :-X ;D
That little bastard slipped me the tongue on path... such a bad monkey.
Yes, I'm surprised he has any popcorn left with his dashing selling techniques ;)
Wait... there's popcorn in that shot?!? :D
I'd lose all the ladies in my shop every time he wandered by.... which he seemed to do a lot.
