It’s time to sink your teeth into this grub at the Ohio Renaissance Festival

It is time to eat (and drink) your way through the 16th century.

This weekends theme is a Feast of Fools, so there’s no better time to dig in!

On Saturday, Sept. 29 and Sunday, Sept 30 the village will be full of various types of fools, and there will be a feast that includes the Fool Olympics and King of Fools contest.

There'll be jousters, fire jugglers, blacksmiths and hundreds of other eye-catching sights at the 2018 Ohio Renaissance Festival, but you'll be no lord nor lady if you miss out on the grub that once gobbled.

Giant "turkey leggs" (and that's not a typo) are among the most glowing symbols of the festival held on a 30-acre, re-created 16th century village just down the road at 10542 East Ohio 73 in Harveysburg.

MUST-TRY REN FEST CLASSIC GRUB

BREADY, SET, BOWL!

They kept things simple in the 16th century, so it should be no surprise that a place called the Bread Bowl would sell bread bowls. You'll find salads and a host of soups and stews.

Soups include chili, Peasant's Potato Soup, Westminster Stew, Minstrel's Mac & Cheese and a spinach artichoke dip bowl.

The Bread Bowl is a popular spot when fall temperatures arrive, said Cheryl Bucholtz, festival spokeswoman.

HOT LEGGS 

Did we mention the turkey leggs? We assume the extra "g" is because they are extra good and really big — about 2 pounds each. About 35,000 turkey leggs are sold each year.

THE OTHER BIRD 

Turkey isn't the only fowl to be served at Ren Fest.

Bourbon chicken — grilled chicken covered in a bourbon sauce and placed on a bed of rice — is also among favorites.

IN A PICKLE

Who can pass up a seasoned pickle from a renaissance man? They are $2 each.
