The Cullinary Delights of TRF

[dbaldock]

Is there an on-site bakery at TRF?

I love fresh baked herbal breads with real butter, like Guy Gary (I think that was his name) used to fix at Hawkwood about 10-12 years ago.


Take Care,
David Baldock

EDIT:  Was reminded that the baker's name was Guy.

Libations:

The Pavillion sells cordials (amaretto, chambord, etc)

And as far as bakery, the closest is The Queen's Pantry, to the right of Gate (a little ways on) but they do quiche, pastry, etc.

What's the earliest one can get in to get breakfast?

[bellevivre]

9AM, when cannon sounds. They also have nice teas and the pavilion is just across the lane for coffee, etc.

By 9am I'm thinking lunch. Looks like I'll be stinking up the campsite with chorizo & eggs at the butt-crak of dawn.

ok, chorizo and butt-crack should NEVER be in a paragraph together! LOL

We're usually up by 7ish making our haggis and eggs

The most outstanding thing I ever had at TRF was......
A pickle.
I had been on a low sodium diet for about 3 years when on opening day last year I fell to temptation and got one from a traveling vendor.  I swear it was the best thing I had ever eaten, my mouth now waters at just the thought.  I may have to fall to temptation again this year.

KettleCrack, er, Corn. Big favorite at my booth.

Ach, a woman after me own heart!  Nothing like Some Haggis first thing in the morning!  Great for a hangover.

OMG- seriously- lol bairns gather ye round for granny's haggis hangover story!!!

we had come out opening weekend- I do not tolerate heat well so this was a SILLY idea. I had probably a whole bottle of loki unto myself, and then some.

Now, mind you, I am NOT typically a hangover sufferer (and yes, everybody hates me for it!)

But this morning, I was fine till I started cooking breakfast- bacon was turning my stomach (and it's bad when I don't want bacon!) We had only brought the bacon as, at that point, I was NOT going to eat haggis!

Well, Mitch starts frying up his haggis, and my little nose perks up... and my previously ill tummy starts making yummy noises... so, I had a bite... then another- and another!!! Gone was my hangover and I lived to drink another day... We maintain that the barley and oats act as sponges, and the trace minerals in the organ meats replace lost nutrients...

ANYWAY- yes, haggis is the BEST hangover cure!

Anyone know what those 'Tartan Tempura' things are at the queen's pantry? I am soooo hoping they're fried haggis- we had some in Scotland; those with a little major grey chutney- HEAVEN!!!

Tartan Tempura certainly sounds good ... and if they are indeed fried haggis, I'm so there!

To bring this back onto topic...I've become a fan of the berry cobbler near the front.  MmmmmMMMMmmm...

I love the cobbler, too.  Of course, my kids always end up eating it off my plate, so I have to get 2 now. 

And I have to have the fried mushrooms 2 or 3 times a season, too.

Definitely love to split the huge hamburgers in the German area with someone.  I certainly can't finish one alone!

My favorite, though, is the pierogies!  Nom nom nom!

I don't tend to drink a lot of alcohol, especially at faire when I focus on getting water in during the day, but when I do I tend to like to stop by Spain and get Sangria.  I can sip at the wine and nibble on the fruit and be happy, happy, happy!

I believe in the holy mother Menudo for a hangover - it'll cure what ails ya.
