And Now For Something Completely Different !

[real mad hatter]

Good Sunday Morning Everyone..It's yer favourite grandpa. Well today is my DW birthday and Ive prepared her meal for later..Starting with Miso Soup ( noodles,sweetcorn,peppers,chicken,dash of hot sauce.) Then Cajun Meatloaf with creamed mash & gravy..And for dessert my homemade Mississippi Mud Pie..Now this got me thinking.Where in Disney have you had a meal that was far out from the norm.? Something completely different.I once tried Cuban cuisine in Los Angeles and loved it.So has anyone tried Bongo at Downtown for example..Now think hard here,forget that awesome steak or the deep fried chicken. I mean something unusual that you wouldn't normally have at home.

Escargot on the Wonder. I hated it... but tried it anyway...

I don't know how exotic it was but eating at Jiko and ordering the Taste of Africa, flat breads with dipping sauces, and a entree of Guniea hen, and not beef, are about as outside of the norm as I ever got at WDW.

My DW loves escargot, I tried one once at the old Bistro du Paris and I couldn't get it out of my mouth fast enough.

Bongos is well worth a visit

Happy Birthday to Hatter's wife!! We really enjoy Paradisio 37. The chorizo skewers there are wonderful!!

Firstly a very Happy Birthday to your beautiful Bride!!!! The only thing we ever tried at Bongos were the margaritas and a sandwich called Media Noche, which was very good!!

Happy Birthday, Mrs. Hatter! The only thing I can think of that I've eaten at the world that's different for me is a hot fudge sundae. I'm not a very adventurous eater.

The giant turkey leg is not something I would normally eat.

Can't think of anything 'different'

Bongos is great! We all had really different entrees and the plantains as a side are great!

I took the recommendation from our server in Morocco. It had a little bit of everything. Still not sure what it all was, but it had a hunk of lamb. I enjoyed it, but would never had ordered it. Not sure Id get it again either. Very different for me.

Cheers folks.Have passed the birthday wishes on..She says " Thanks everyone ". Och,the wee darling.Anyway,some interesting choices here.Agree about Escargots ! Yuch! Tried them once in France ( not Epcot )

I tried flan at the restaurant in the Mexico pavilion and I hated it!! My friend warned me I wouldn't like the texture lol and of course I still ordered it!

So, I am reading these posts, and something occurs to me. Because of where I live, I really don't think of these things as out of the ordinary. I won't touch snails. But, the things they serve in Morocco, I love falafel. I just won't pay that much for it, when at home it is a cheap meal. Love hummus, though, too. Flan? That would be a special desert reserved for my favorite Tapas restaurant. Yummy stuff. Cuban? Doesn't really appeal to my family. Too much pork, but if I wanted to try it, I just head into the city. Thanks for making me feel better about my everyday home. (Because, the weather report for this week isn't making me feel warm and fuzzy about it!)

I had my first snail at Chefs de France and enjoyed it.....but I like weird stuff like squid, chicken livers, mountain oysters and such.

It was ok, but probably not something I would order again.......now give me some boudin any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
