So...

I would like to have a top ten Faire Food list to put on my site. 

With that in mind, give me your top 5 foods that are most haves for the faire.

Scotch Eggs and Guinness...    they should just make that a soup!

JCadden

Guinness might make a good base for a soup, I am going to have to do some research.

I like the potato soup or beef stew in a bread bowl, shepard pie isn't to bad either.

Foods that I would include would be:
Turkey drumsticks (love them or hate them, they are a part of the faire)
Scotch eggs
Soup in a bread bowl
Soft pretzels
Fish and chips (or chicken and chips)

These are what I've seen as most popular items at the different faires that I have been to.  Now, me personally, I would have Spanikopita, Gyros, and Crepes.

For drinks, be sure to include mead and some sort of stout (Guiness or Murphys).

Be sure to tell us where your site is!

Laird Fraser of Lovatt

Scotch eggs... perfect hangover cure/get-you-going breakfast

Gyros... a great brunch/padding against quantities of beer/Loki

Polish variety platter... good anytime.

Prime Rib Trencher... perfect for that late lunch/afternoon munchies.

Merlin the Elder

a meat—pork, beef, or fish
a drink—lager, ale, stout, rum, wine, Scotch, or Jack Daniel's (my personal favourite)

I think that about covers it.

At our home Faire (Scarborough) I love just about anything from The Pasta Palace. The fajita nachos are good as well.
At other faires it really depends. I like to find the things that are different.

And now, though it is only a little after 8 in the morning and i have had breakfast, I am hungry.  Thanks, everybody.  Great suggestions, Rennies never disappoint.

The list will be on the site next week, I will post a link when it hits.  The site is www.renoutfitters.com for those of you that asked.

Minnesota had the best bread bowls I've ever had, ever. They were delicious. Half the reason I want to go back this year is for bread bowls.

Turkey legs are delicious, even if they aren't really turkey legs. At least not at KCRF. XD
