Scarborough's Food

[DonaCatalina]

I must be hungry because I can't get Scottish Eggs out of my head.

[Merlin]

I'll be having that

[Merlin the Elder]

I asked my cardiologist about eating one of those... I showed him the picture, and he grabbed his chest. That means he loves them, doesn't it?

[DonaCatalina]

So what other food can we obsess about?
Especially that Merlin's doctor will love. 

[ravic]

Ask him if alcohol will offset the effect of Scotch Eggs.

It's a little-known premise that Jack Daniel's and/or ale will cause cholesterol and other bad juju to evaporate from faire delicacies. Therefore, in the interest of science, I will put that premise to the test.  Memorials may be sent to the Lynchburg, TN Home for Wayward Wizards.

It's pasta I'm craving. I'll traipse from one end of Faire to the other to visit the pasta palace.

I don't ask my cardiologist anything about faire as I'm afraid of what he might answer.
Ignorance is bliss and Faire cures everything.
Except Faire addiction.....

I know that the current favorite amongst the performing company is the pretzel-wrapped sausage that they added a couple of years ago.  It is a good mix of carbs and protein, portable, and not messy.  Not to mention MIGHTY tasty!

I tend to lean toward the steak on a stake when I need protein.  If you're nice, they'll cook it to specification, and so I get mine nice and medium rare most of the time.  It is also really good when you put it between two slices of the French booth's cheesy bread.

The pork pocket is pretty awesome too.  I avoided it for years thinking that it would heavy and barbecue-sauce laden, but they don't put sauce on it, they leave that to you.  The meat is always really juicy and tender, very flavourful.

The new gelato booth is a happy-maker too.  LOVE gelato!

Being a Prussian descendent, I always like to hit the German kitchen on the north end near Iris & Rose.

[DonaCatalina]

I'm going to have to try the pork pocket. I thought it was sauce heavy too.

[cowgrrl]

There's a gelato booth this year?!?!  My lapband dr is going to be so pissed at me!!

[The Rabbi]

After reading this thread Im thinking fair food should be mandatory at least once a week waistlines should be expanded and if I die young (well too late for that) at least my tastebuds will be happy and my belly full.

Gelato booth??? Oh dear, I see some issues for my coinpurse with a gelato booth.... time to start checking under the cushions, just to have some extra stashed away.


Otherwise, I often head over to the gyro booth in Pecan Grove, they're always willing to fix it just as I like it, and it's a reasonable price. *sigh* I miss living where I could get a good gyro on a regular basis...

I'm on a strict diet but when it comes to faire food...the only rule I have is to try and eat it ALL !

Usually eat something at the tailgate...then a stop at the bakery when we first go in...pre-lunch I get a sausage calzone which I think may be one of the best for the money.... then a scottish egg for lunch.... at least one day on the weekend we go to the restaurant and get a shepherds pie.

And of course I like to have a few snacks through out the day as well.
