The tickets may have been cheap, but
the food was not. Yet it was excellent indeed. My turkey legs were all
properly cooked. Sir Richard had not enough praises for his steak
on a stick. The standard fair was available: Turkey legs, Scotch eggs
(sausage rolled around a hard boiled egg, double dipped in bread crumbs
then fried), steak on a stick with cajun seasonings (excellent according
to Sir Richard), Italian or Polish sausage on a bun -- plain or with
veggies. One not so standard item item was a fried Twinkie.
These are battered, fried then dusted with powdered sugar. This is
not health food, but it tastes good.
The hawkers would slip out of character
every so often. A flutist entertained the patrons as they rested
on the benches and ate their meals.
"I will pay five gold if you would
stay just the way you are," said a lady of royal court as she
admired my arse.
Lady Mary found it nice that benches
were provided before the food court to sit down before the lake. Wooden
spools were placed as crude tables.
We decide upon the Royal Joust at
quarter till four and waiting for the next Duelist show. While we
waited, we toured the wares of the local merchants.
