| Honey Fudge |
There used to be a great
many fairs throughout the year, but the longest surviving one is Tynwald Fair,
still held at the village of St. John's every 5th July.
This is the day the Acts of Tynwald (The Manx Parliament) are
promulgated, and it is both a solemn and a gay affair.
The
green at St John's is dotted with shies and stalls, bands and dancers in
national costume. One of the most popular sweetmeats on sale is home-made
fudge.
