We started our four-course offering with ‘dragon scales’ (garlic toast), and were treated to a spectacular show of horses from the castle stables. Next came the ‘dragons blood’ (tomato bisque soup), which we had to drink from a bowl, because there are no utensils! The feast continued with roasted chicken, buttered corn, herb-basted potatoes, and concluded with a super-yummy slice of lemon pound cake. Again, all eaten by hand, as there were no forks in the 11th century. My kids weren't sure about this, but enjoyed it once they knew it was okay to eat everything with their hands.
While we feasted, the show continued with falconry, a live jousting tournament and sword-to-sword combat that had us screaming and cheering for our knight. Even though our Red Knight didn’t win the tournament, he chose my daughter as his “Queen of the Tournament”, giving her a sash bestowed upon him by the beautiful princess.
All of us thoroughly enjoyed the food, the show, and everything. In my almost-eight-year-old son’s words, “It was amazing!” Medieval Times is a great family outing for Spring Break, or any time.
