On a stick
Last weekend, thanks to a stomach virus infecting my friend, her husband and 3 children, I received free tickets to the gastronomical extravaganza known as the Texas Renaissance Festival.
In theory the Renaissance Festival is your opportunity to step back in time, to explore 15th century living, buy handmade crafts, listen to period music and ogle your choice of men in tights or wenches with their boobs on display. And let us not forget the scotsmen wearing kilts, tossing their wood for my viewing pleasure....
Where else can you have your fortune read by a gypsy, tip a beggar on the street, watch shows by the mud man and Ded Bob, have your ears assaulted by the mad executioner meets "Eyes Wide Shut", drench a wench, drink honey mead, watch girls in chain mail bikinis and find out once and for all what really is underneath that kilt?
You can also get some pretty cool stuff, hand made soap, crystals, weaponry and armor, jewelry, staffs, period clothing and shoes, windchimes, gargoyles, beaded purses, stuffed plague rats, and just about any bizarre thing your mind can dream up.
But mostly, you get to eat. Leg of lamb, turkey legs, roasted corn-on-the-cob, beef stew in an edible bread bowl, gyros, empanadas, candied nuts, muffaletta sandwiches, fish and chips, schnitzel, funnel cake, stuffed pitas and scottish eggs. You can partake in wine tasting and beer tasting. And then there's the gourmet offerings that come on a stick.
Soft baked pretzels, fried alligator, roasted pork loin, fresh strawberries, frozen chocolate covered bananas, grilled chicken, grilled or fried muschrooms, grilled shrimp, souvlaki, rolls and the ever popular 11 inch sausage, which I don't personally recommend since I got sick, deathly sick, after eating one.
Which gets me thinking, what bizarre yummy would you suggest putting on a stick?

Wow. Between the boobs on display and the food on sticks, this Renaissance Fair you speak of sounds like a paradise. Excuse me while I go book my tickets for next year!
As for stick food - my suggestion would be donuts. Not the jelly-filled, though, obviously. That could seriously mess up your chain mail.
