I have been reading these forums a lot, and I attend quite regularly
Im wondering, what is the best food to get while enjoying the mountain-ish air?
I want some heated debates :)
They shall decide where I eat the next time I go, which is hopefully soon
It all depends on your likes and your typical diet.
Personally Toki and I both love the Baron of Beef. It is a sort of Philly sandwich minus the cheese. OH they need cheese. The fries are good.
Personally I do not like the Turkey Legs. I got sick on them one year from food poisoning and that did me in on them.
Steak and sausage on a stick is good and fried corn depending on the corn they use.
My little boys loved the Pizza
But of course Ginger will tell you REAL MEN east fish. I however disagree Real Men eat beef, pork, and chicken... or venison but there isn't any at fair.
SO If you ask me or Toki... BARON of BEEF!
Steak on a stake! Fried green beans and peanut sauce!
Fudge of course ...
Hmmm ....
Steak on a stake and a cheesey bread....what-a-sammich!
Or Steak and smashed taters.....
Or the artichoke hearts....
The absolute best food- teriyaki chicken at Italian kitchen, plus- the guy who works there really knows how to cook chicken and wear a hat.
Scotch eggs in the morning..........to die for
Coconut fried Thai green beans and peanut sauce
Steak on a stake
I love Steak on a Stake and the fried Corn!
In the AM: A HOT Scotch Egg, or any type of fruit or Feta Crossant at Friar Tucks
At Noon: HOT Thai Green Beans w/peanut sauce.
about 2PM: HOT HOT Teriaki Chicken w/o the arm hair o' Demetrius!
At 3 of the hour: HOT Steak on a Stake (or as Demetrius has coined it my fav line "Elephant Scab") yea, verily just scratched from an elephants wound almostd healed medium bloody runny HOT Elephant Scab! YUMM!
and at 3:05: Put the said HOT Elephant Scab upon a Heated CheeseBread for a HOT an HEATED Elephant Scab Cheese Bread Sammich..... Thanks Jess!
Anytime of Day: Wash these things down with a Paulaner Hefewiesen Wheat Beer! Ahhh-RGH!
'opes dat 'twere be a heated enouff fer ye lad!
Capt Spleen wins due to using the word HOT 8 times
and cause wheat beer is for some reason oh so much better.
And I did get yelled at on Sunday for not ordering fish. I dont know who was yelling, I was far away. Called me a sissy and everything
Raspberry wheat beer is even better ... but sadly I haven't seen that at the faire!

Probably Ginger, haha.
You know what's funny actually, I've been working and attending this faire for almost 7 years now and I have NEVER had steak on a stake. Yikes.
My personal favorite is the pizza, and after that the BBQ pork sandwich. YUM. Also the raspberry/cream cheese croissants and a frozen mocha in the morning is an excellent way to start the day.
Wheat beer..... not jus fer a fast break anamore!
It duz doobleduty in tha' it quenches th' thirst ana quashes th' hungar both at th' same time!
I'll drink to that! ;)
You all missed the bestest best food of all. It's a complete meal in a handy dandy carrying case and no bloody sticks! Beef Stew in a bread bowl. You get carbs, meat, more carbs, a few veggies, salt, more carbs and it's delightful (and cheap!).
Also, PICKLE! Although I was disappointed in my pickle this weekend. So disappointed, I only had one instead of my usual 6.

The chances are pretty high it was me, actually am really sure it was me if you were wearing a kilt, because I was going to yell something about needing to prove that it was a kilt and not a skirt, but Elyse told me not to because last year.... we got flashed by a kilted man :P
I would have totally agreed with Cap'n Spleen about the Steak on a Stake until he called it an Elephant Scab. Thanks alot Spleen, now my resolution to not eat red meat only sometimes, had morphed into "never for the rest of my bleedin' life." So thanks for that. :P
But if you are still inclined to eat the red meat....*gags* the steak on a stake on the cheese bread is fabulous. And to heck with all of the wheat and raspberry beers....all you need is a good tankard of Cider. Its amazing. The fried pickles are good, and I will agree with the green beans, though, Im fairly certain I am allergic to peanuts, so I usually just eat them plain, or with the ranch that comes with the fried pickles...yummo.
Scotch eggs are good any time of day as far as Im concerned. But for brekkie, nothing beats an Iced Chai (or in my husband's case, an Iced Dirty chai...it just has a shot of espresso) and a spinach and feta croissant. to DIE for.
Well. there's my two pence oxoxox

That was most certainly you then, and its a good thing you didnt, you may have seen way too much, even if you were really far away.

Probably the same guy who flashed me. I had all but forgotten it until now.
See here you....
there's a whole meal in a royal slice of pizza, don't even lie to yourself its completely and entirely true.
you got veggies, meat, carbs, and NO need for silverware, unless of course your quirky that way.
Thusly it beats stew in a bread bowl, thats right.
Also, I suggest the artichoke if you feel like spoiling yourself. Simply cause artichoke is heaven in an oddly shaped plant.
I'm partial to Steak on a Stake and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Especially when it's chilly and rainy, the garlic mashed 'taters.
My "twin" works at that booth ... I really like the cheesy smashed potatoes ...
I just found the burritos! they are soooooo tasty! and the Queens Apples, carmel, whipped cream and apples! yummy!
We discovered pork wings this weekend, which were fabulous... just a little small.

Haha this was us...we tend to harrass to try and get customers. No better way than to question someone's manhood! =P
dessert: cheesecake on a stick.
yummm :]
Chocolate covered strawberries.
Chocolate covered marshmallows.
And let's not forget the drink of the Goddess. Frozen Mocha. Chocolate and coffee! Cold! with sprinkles! Does it get any better?
good goddess I am hungery now!
No kidding! FEED ME!! :D

See where who?
How does one eat an artichoke? At least with the smothered burrito you get to eat the whole thing- including the paper bowl if you want.
All you fish mongers- everything goes better with chocolate-
'oh that this too too sullied chocolate would melt...'

I am led to suspect paper bowls are quite nutritional....

As my late uncle in France would say, the artichoke is the perfect meal for a pauper. You finish with more on your plate than you started with!
Well, I ALWAYS start the day off with a Steak on a Stake. It's just a tradition. After that I'm off to see my favorite beer wenches for a cold ale. Then it's anybodies guess. I am addicted to ALL of the food, so it doesn't much matter.
I must agree with Ginger, that "Real men" do eat fish..... at least on a semi-regular basis :D, HOWEVER (and I know they are not traditional Ren Food) I would like to get my hands around the neck of the demented B@$!@#& who is responsible for them taking the Fajitas out of Gingers booth! >:( Don't ask me why, but I absolutely fell in love with those things last season, and now i actually miss them. :'(
Ahh, don't hit me, I didn't make the fajitas go away... although I'm glad we don't have any more people coming up going:
"Can I have one Fa-gina"
and all we say is
"Excuse me Sir... we don't sell Fa-ginas here...."
