Lefse
I have had it homemade, and at many a Scanda Fair.
Although there are other ways to eat it besides with butter and sugar.

For me (IMO!)
America - I really wish we were represented better! There are so many things food wise in the USA besides burgers and fries. (California style cooking, Tex Mex, Cajun food, Barbeque, and thats just a few)
Canada - I miss Beaver Tails thats all I want to say
China - My mother is Asian so her cooking will always be what I use to compare others. I think anyone would tell you that the food is your typical Chinese cuisine that you get at the Jade Dragon/Lotus/Tiger (or whatever) down the street from your house. Which is pretty Americanized!
France - Cheese, grapes, and a bagette were a typical lunch when I was there, maybe some soup or a crepe if I am really hungry. Most of the pastries are what I remebered aswell.
Germany - I think the Biergarten is pretty much what I remember from when I lived there.
Italy - No opinion
Japan - I only eat Sushi or Sushimi so I have no opion here either.
Mexico - I live in Colorado, So how I feel about Mexican/Spanish food in WDW is laughable.
Morocco - Some of the items offered at the Tangierine Cafe and a large majority of the options at the Marrakesh in Morocco are on point.
Norway - No opinion
United Kingdom - I think the Rose and Crown has a pretty great menu although I am sure others may disagree.

I agree. For the WS, France has quickly become one of our favorite. Its a toss up between Le Chefs and Tepan Edo. Le Celliar was the fav until the quality took a dip and its so hard to get in.

I believe the curry dish at Yakitori house is fairly on par with the popular japanese dish.

I don't know but I intend to find out when we go, especially since it's during the food and wine festival. I plan on trying something from every venue, food, dessert, and drink. good thing I'll have 10 days.
Wow,
Good luck, bring your extra wallet.
There are 27 stalls this year.
With 3 items from each stall (food, dessert, drink) you are looking at 81 items
Costing about $4 each (on average) you are looking at $300+ worth of - to quote Disney "tapas sized food"

Yeah that is a lot of dishes and heck of a lot of dough. One of the reasons I think we are passing on it when we go.

let me rephrase I guess, if there's a food, dessert, and drink that I want to try I'm going to get it, but I will have at least one thing from every venue. and like I said, I have 10 days to accomplish this. with the free dining I'll have some extra spending money for stuff like this too.

I've only been once, but I'd say don't skip it completly! You don't have to eat every single piece of food offered. There are some amazing finds and it is a great experience. Just pick a budget (say, 1 meal's cost) and eat around the world. You will pretty much fill up for the same price, and get to eat some great food. It was well worth it in my opinion.

You can use your snacks on the dining plan for most of the food in the booths. We did it and it was definitely a better quality option then a bottle of soda or popcorn.

Just because this thread resurfaced.
I had the lefse again when I was there 2 weeks ago.
Horrible.
Dry, heavy, and quite honestly, the butter that was on it tasted rancid.
Bleah.

I think as a whole, France has the most "authentic" food across the board, from sandwiches, to entrees, to snacks.
You also pay French-like prices for them --
Best snack: The Crepes in front of the country at one of the kiosk stands -- they are made exactly like you would buy them on the street in Paris...

Oh wow ... I so hope that's true. It's been almost 20 years since I was in Paris, and in all that time I've yet to have a crepe avec fromage et jambon that in any way approaches what I inhaled (repeatedly) on the streets over there.
