We spent Saturday, May 30, at the Greater St. Louis Renaissance Fair in Wentzville, MO. If you go back to the Renaissance yourself, you'll find that they apparently imported all of their food from far, far away. We didn't expect to find any local food, and we didn't. Pork sandwiches, sodas, lemon shakeups, brownies -- all of the usual suspects. Of course, they also had turkey legs, but so far I've never been tempted to indulge in that unique renfair delicacy.
They did have homemade ice cream, though, so we had that. I've no doubt that the ingredients were very non-local, but it was the best we could do. And it was delicious!
At the end of the day, we dragged ourselves back to the car and stopped for dinner at St. Louis Bread Company (known around here as Panera Bread). After more non-local food, we were finally ready to drive back to Springfield.
Home at last!
We live by the fair. We usually go there nightly for fair food and drink.
Its the only way to sanely survive the fair.
