Trust me, I wouldn't dream of expecting us to get it right ;) Thanks for enlightening me though! Guess I'm going to have to make a trip and test the differences :) I think that faire planners probably reinterpret a lot to fit what they think will appeal to the American ‘idea’ of what is renaissance and/or English.

Not saying it's *wrong* or anything - just different, and differences make the world such an interesting place. What's above looks like what we would call (inventively) a sausage roll, which comes second only to a meat pie in convenience "watching the footy" food. ALo very popular in mini versions at kids parties. Toad in the Hole is a shallow baking tray in which sausages and batter (Yorkshire Pud) are cooked in the oven. Wouldn't want you to visit a Medieval Fair in Aus or the UK and get confuzzled :-) So just to expand our cultural boundaries - if you come to Aus and order “toad in the hole” you won’t receive anything like the picture above.
