The last time we attempted to attend this supper, we arrived, looked in the door and saw this crowd waiting to be seated and promptly turned around and left:
This time, we knew what to expect and prepared ourselves for an epic wait....And lo, it was epic...
There was live music being played by what I assume was the church choir. The crowd knew all the words to songs like Tipperary, so the time seemed to pass by quickly as the many voices rose up singing. While I was waiting, I tried to take some candid pictures of the crowd, here's one:
Many, many hymns and one dog walk later, we finally got seated...it was well worth the wait! I was seated in front of a big, chocolate table cake, so tempting. Our server took our orders and brought us refreshing glasses of grape Koolaid to slake our thirst.
We noticed many familiar faces from Lunenburg at this supper, from skating rink staff to Save Easy staff to local hairdressers...all were in attendance.
Potato, 3 bean and a strange carrot and french dressing (?) salad were on either side of me...various jello salads, plates of squares, platters of meat and bread completed the array of deliciousness on the table. See for yourself:
Roast beef, Lunenburg pudding, some amazing ham and pork...oh, and beef tongue. Yeah, we weren't feeling that brave..
Mmmmm...jello salad....
Oh squares, how can I deny you?
Our hot plate items were baked beans, scalloped potatoes, goulash (good 'ole elbow macaroni, ground beef and canned tomatoes!) and hot slaw. I ended taking a fork of each items from the comfort food compass of food on my plate for each bite, simply delectable:
(Note the choco cake looming over my plate)
Long story short, it's worth the wait for this supper...don't let the long lines dissuade you from checking this one out next year.
I think I'm still full from this meal!
