I ate a wild grape leaf and then the corkscrew bit of the grapevine, as I had learned to do in wild edibles type classes back in my summer camp days. I did this partly to see if it horrified Austin, which I think it did, mildly.
I liked that whole interchange with the guy who came up to ask about the kettle corn (which as you recall, Austin, took us a ridiculously long time to find again when we wanted some -- we forgot where the stand was and walked all around Frontiertown and the Frontier Trail looking for it). It went sort of like this:
Very polite young guy, stepping up to us: Excuse me, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering how much that popcorn cost? Me, afraid to admit how much I'd paid lest he think I was an idiot for forking over this much: Seven dollars. Guy: Thank you! Guy, returning to his girlfriend's side as the two walk away: Well, that's not so bad! ...
I actually agree that, by park price standards, a huge bag of really good kettle corn for $7 is entirely acceptable -- but I didn't expect someone else to feel the same way!
