And when you finish the corn maze, enjoy some fresh roasted maize-on-the-cob.

You’d want civil war reenactors for that. They absolutely do exist, but I think they’re rather more obsessive about period accuracy than the Ren Faire folks.

i was vegan for a decade and i never liked PETA and always felt they were more polarizing than productive.
how about positive pro-vegetarian advertising instead? look how great eating this stuff looks and tastes is going to win a lot more stomachs and minds than an anti anything agenda. this is especially true in a world with infinite gradients, if they really cared about impact they’d have a much greater impact convincing a greater number of people to reduce their meat consumption by 25% than converting a small handful of people all or nothing.
movements like “meatless mondays” are great, not as good as taco tuesdays, but i digress… 
authenticity shaming them on the turkey could backfire. wait, what do you mean all the “bottled water” is in animal skins?

How does it taste?
Depends on the people.

That’s such stupid and wrong fake English.
Couldn’t they have run it by an English major who at least knew what a thorn was, and the proper usage of “thee” vs “you”? And who maybe understood that someone does not describe their own leg as “yon leg”?
And that is definitely not a renaissance turkey.

re: Corn/maize - hard to believe that this was just a big seeded grass at one point. South Americans cultivated it into the crop Maize and exported it to the new world.
Another thing - think how long Italians had pasta, but no tomato sauce.
“This-a spaghetti is pretty good. But I wish we had some kind of sauce to liven it up, eh?”

No. Yes.
Old works, surely. Also, all types of corn started as grass, since they are grass.
And while I assume that you are facetious about the pasta, tomato sauce, in my opinion, is one of the lamest, though so boring that kids like it. Though I guess even there they go to ketchup.
But the various meat or dairy based sauces or even plain garlic are much better.
I don’t think they would care that much, seeing that they use portable toilets.

Um. Where’s the problem with “ye”, as plural nominative form of “thou”?
And “yon” doesn’t need to interpreted as a weird form of “your” (or thine, but then ye should’ve been thou), but any leg.
The sentence basically says as “y’all don’t need that (mildly specific) turkey leg, but I do”, identifying the turkey in reverse.
Or is there an arachic plural of “do not” I don’t know about?

Like Pasta alla Gricia…
or the: Pizzoccheri
Fettuccine Alfredo (in Italian: fettuccine al burro) are derived from an Italian Renaissance dish

I guess you mean the Venetian casino? It was okay (I actually find the the Disneyesque theming of Vegas amusing, although I think Paris and New York, New York casinos were more impressive), but the Venetian isn’t modeling itself on Renaissance Venice but modern (or at least the 1950s-1960s Tom Ripley era Venice).

Called Mittelaltermarkt over here. But isn’t really authentic either. While the reenactors who camp there take it seriously, the vast majority of visitors doesn’t care plus you’ll find a lot of fantasy pirate goth cosplayers.

Well I was being facetious that they ate pasta with no sauce. But we do think of marinara sauce when we think of Italy, but that is a relatively new thing.

I think more Excalibur, less Venetian.

Pasta was in Italy roughly 500 years before tomatoes, which have been there for roughly 500 years. So they are both relative newcomers.

I don’t think the Levellers or Diggers played any part in that civil war. We were talking about this one which was roughly at the end of the English Renaissance and the start of the Enlightenment.

My mistake. Jumped the gun without clicking through. I took a few years of British History in college so you think I’d be more clever than that.
You could always take a day trip and disrupt things at Warwick castle
