As wonderful as the flowers, gardens and floral aspects of the F & G Festival are, it has also turned into something of a mini Food and Wine Festival as well.
Yesterday I sampled several plates and everything I had was extremely flavorful. While the prices for some items seemed a touch high for the amount of food received (especially at the Mexico stand), the food itself was amazing. Even for as small as the tacos and quesadillas were at Mexico, the amount of flavor put into them was incredible, which made them worth it in the end.
I've been sitting here trying to tell you which was my favorite and it seems impossible since they were all so very good. The bacon cupcake with maple frosting might have made it to the top though
I think the two items that were even better than I would have expected were the chocolate flan (Mexico) and the gnocchi Parisien (France). But the orange blossom macaron (France) was really incredible too...and so was the pork slider (Smokehouse)! Do you see a trend here!?
It really did make for an even more enjoyable way to pass the time while strolling around the park and enjoying the beautiful gardens and topiaries and such. But if you want to sample as much food as possible, go hungry...I did not have enough room to try all of the plates that I wanted to. (The pineapple soft serve with rum, the pork and apple sausage roll and the Moroccan pancake never made it off of my edible "wish list").
