So what is the first item you are going to buy?

For me it will be a Crêpe.

Being that first day we'll be having the Opening Breakfast, I'll most likely skip the food altogether, so my first purchase will probably be a mead or breakfast beer.  :D

I think I'm in the minority but there aren't really any foods out at fest that I look forward to.  Most of the stuff we have on offer is over priced and under spiced.  Very disappointing. (Bristol has a marvelous mushroom banger and a portobello burger!).   I do, of course, eat during the day and when I must, I like the gyros (which used to be better until CKC took over).

I won't make it this year, so someone please go by and have a sparkling cider and cinnamon ice cream float for me!

Popover! With honey butter and cinnamon. And a mirror so I can remove all of the cinnamon.

Since they are close to us "back stage" either a Scotch egg, or a breakfast burrito.

There is a food vendor acrossed from the Queen's Pub that sells wonderful Spicy Chicken Wraps and home made chips that I plan to get again.

Nothing like fat, cholesterol, and protein to start the day.  The alcohol thins it all out in the end.

Thanks, HandsomeJames. I really enjoyed the floats and it was very convenient with the stage next door. Entertainment while you wait and a place to sit while enjoying, it made a really nice treat.

Scotch Eggs booth is our (Cigany) morning breakfast routine after the morning gypsy drum jam.  As to what I'll have . . . ??  I probably won't decide until I'm standing there to order.

I was very dissappointed the first time I went there . . . I was hoping the "Scotch" in the name indicated a shot with every order. ;D

Based on the recommendations given to me, it'll be a frosty beer or meade from the foaming stein or meade boothe.  9:05 sounds bout right.

Hmmmmm... Let's see... Well a Beer for sure at Foaming (uh.. not buying it though..) does that still count? Then I want to smell everyones mead.. since mead and I are not friends and I will get a case of the barfs if I drink it.. Oh but I do so love mead.. It's so cruel and unfair!!

Then I will plan to eat all day and won't get it done, and will end up with Chicken on a stick...  :P Boooo!! I keep hearing about all the yummy food, but never seem to remember to get any of it...  ::)

Ah well.... BREAKFAST BEER!!!!!!!!! It's the most important meal of the day!!!  :-*

And as always we don't want to contaminate our Alcohol system with any blood. (This would be very,very bad.)
