Faire Food

[Merlin the Elder]

If you dont like what you see on my beard be glad you dont see whats underneath. More seriously ye having a beard does tend to create havoc at time in the consumtion of things not so neat to start with.

Very true, Rabbi! I went for 30 years without eating an ice cream cone because of my beard. Now that the beard's gone, I am free to eat what I want, when I want! I only wish the hair on my head hadn't gone with the beard...

Well, BobO, you may have shot yourself in the foot by cutting your beard. I am going bald myself, but a couple more inches of beard, and I can do a comb-over.  If you think I'm kidding, I assure you I am not.  It will, however, look stupid-as-hell, like all comb-overs, so not wanting to look any more stupid than I already do, I'm going to skip the comb-over, and just naturally look stupid.  It's a gift.

Merlin looks wise; not stupid!  It must be a spell he casts...

See, I was thinking it was the flying newts he threw at you that made you think that..

Good call on the beard comb-over, Merlin. Then again, I can't really comment because I have nothing to comb over and therefore, no comb-over knowledge or experience. I do still have a comb somewhere, I think...does that count?

Our Scotch Eggs at MNRF are outstanding.   That said, with the fire last year- that booth, along with several others, will be interesting this year what our owner tries to  replace them with.  

[Merlin the Elder]

The fire at Scarborough last August took out even more than I had envisioned, but the rebuilt area is beautiful, just no trees left to speak of.  They built a nice little bench to honour Will, the pickle man who died in the fire. It resembles his pickle cart.

I'll be continuing my attempt to eat a larger variety of foods at Scarby when we return Memorial Day weekend. I did like the sausage-on-a-stick and the brisket sandwich (what little I got of it at our renewal!).  I may have to get an olde favourite on the final weekend to hold me over until next year...the bratwurst.

[Bonny Pearl]

I am ready for some faire food!  15 days to go!

[Butch]

Me too!  St Louis, here we come!

[Merlin the Elder]

MMMMmmmm! Oklahoma RenFest this weekend. They have the most scrumdiliumptious pork tenderloin sandwiches, and these potato chip like thingies (no clue what they're actually called) that's created in a mound about the size of half-a-soccerball.  It's what's for breakfast!

[Lady Mac]

For years my fave were the Scotch Eggs at TRF, then 2 yrs ago, trying to be health-conscious,
they started baking them rather than frying. It ruined a perfect snack food. I mean "really," a
boiled egg, wrapped with country sausage and battered with cornmeal and flour and you think
I give a rat's butt about a few extra grams of fat from frying? Sheesh, gimme a break.

Now "kudos" to the chopped steak sandwich(hamburger) from the Dragon's Kitchen at Sherwood.

I'll have to try that next season. I love hamburgers! That's probably why I had a heart attack last year...well, if you can't live happily...

Eat more cereal...

[DonaCatalina]

Now you all have made me crave a mushroom burger. Guess I'll be grilling.....

[Merlin the Elder]

I consume lots of cereal, Jack. The grains are usually in the form of whiskey or ale...
