Ah - the annual "Meat on a Stick" festival. Good times! Go (very) hungry, take the park and ride, and don't forget your sunscreen. Unused food tickets can be donated to the Food Bank. Personally, I'm a fan of the Asian pavilions, but make certain to stop at the French pavilion for some crepe goodness for dessert!

Now that's just completely wrong and Trading Standards (Canadian Equivalent) should be called as that is not the correct ingredients of a Cornish Pastie :frown:

Re: Heritage Days Edmonton
 

i shall be there as working the festival. i shall not be buying tickets. i will be eating lots. if one of these tents belongs to you i shall expect to be fed.

if you see a miserable policeman that'll be me. stop and say hello. if you struggle look at the right breast pocket, thats where our names are.

that means of course you will be staring at tits all weekend, so you may get arrested. thought i would get that one in before someone else did.

Don't you already get a free timmies and donunt :sneaky:

Re: Heritage Days Edmonton
 

depends, i get some free coffee in certain places, no free donuts, cookies or food anywhere. generally accepted that if you receive a coffee you make a donation to the charity box at the till.

Re: Heritage Days Edmonton
 

That's a good idea :)

I got a sausage roll at the English tent and it was great... the storm started shortly after though and the park was evacuated, so I didnt get a chance to see the welsh and irish tents!

We went yesterday....good time had by all :thumbsup:

Cornish Pasties were not as good as the ones in Save-on.

The line ups were crazy by mid afternoon though :eek:
