What is your favorite food at the F&W Festival?

[jedimaster1227]

Epcot's Food and Wine Festival begins again tomorrow, and you all know what that means-lots and lots of good food. So, for those members on the forum that haven't experienced the F&W Festival before or those of us that haven't tried all of the foods offered, I would like to ask a question: What is your favorite food at the Food and Wine Festival (that is served in the event stations)?

Mine happens to be the Escargots, the Canadian Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup, followed by the Spanikopitas and Florida's Key Lime Tart.

That is a classic! :lol: On the subject of the Ice cream, (in a momentary drift) my favorite ice cream at the parks is the Itzakadoozie bar. :lookaroun

Favorite food at F&W festival

I loved the rice pudding and the beaver tails in Canada were good also!

I love the Watermelon juice at Mexico:slurp: . If anyone goes tomorrow could you please let me know it they have it this year. It is not on the menu, but I am hoping they will have it.

Thanks

15 Days until Disney:sohappy:

I love good pizza, and I had some sicilian style pizza a couple years back that was really good. It had beer in the dough.

I went to the Cast Preview today, and was mightily impressed. The Canadian cheddar cheese soup was amazing, as was the Chicken Bastilla pastry in Morocco. By far my favorites, though, were the spicy beef empanada in Argentina and the Chilaquiles in Mexico. I didn't even come close to trying everything available. I've never been to a F&W festival before, so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but I was very impressed.

Cheddar cheese soup and Salmon/cream cheese roll from Norway/Scandinavia, there are others but those two are necessities

Hmm... I haven't been since I was a kid, but I liked eating everything at the Mexican booth.

My reply is more of a series of questions... What do people recommend for a vegetarian who is just turned 21? I want to sample as much as I can...Also, does anyone know what Japan usually offers (sushi?? maybe??). :slurp:

We tried both offerings last year from the Florida booth, the Chilled Rock Shrimp with Mango Salsa and Sauteed Shrimp with Ginger and Lime. Both very yummy and a little bit spicy! :slurp:

That wonderful shrimp

My husband and I enjoyed the shrimp salad roll at the Florida booth so much that we bought the recipe book and make it all the time at home.

We also love much of the German food, the rice cream in Norway, the "bee sweet" honey lemonade they used to have in America, and the dan dan noodles they used to have in China.

Okay, so we love it all!

We had an omlette type thing last year in the morning and it was awesome. Had egg, potato and a bunch of other great stuff. Does anyone remember that from last year? I think it was in Spain. Doesn't look like it's on the menu for '06.

 

[Sloan]

so many options ....

Hard to narrow it down to one because there's so much variety, but favorites are:

Maple Glazed Salmon with Arugula and Roasted Corn from Canada for me, the Kielbasa and Potato Pierogies for the wife, however I strongly suspect that may change for both of us with the addition of the booth from Argentina .... :slurp:

South Africa's Durban Spiced Chicken with Voodoo Sauce has always been a favorite of mine. Love it so much, I bought the recipe guide so I could make it at home. YUM:slurp:

 

[Gorjus]

And it is so easy to make, isn't it. Mind you the spices can be a bit pricey/spendy/freakin' expensive, but the result is so good. And have you EVER been able to find sugar cane stick? I finally gave up and went with skewers for the Durban Spiced Chicken. And a glass of Indaba Merlot with it...:slurp: :slurp: :slurp:

If you did have that in Spain then it was probably simply called a tortilla. A tortilla in Spain is much different than what you find in Mexico/South America and yes they are wonderful. I did not see tortillas on the menu either, but they are pretty common fare in Spain so maybe they just didn't include them on their published menu.

Fisherman's Stew a few years back @ Fla. booth. Also, Beef Stroganoff

Have not missed a Festival in 5 yrs. Skipping this year in favour of our first New Years at WDW. :sohappy:

I absolutely fell in love with the Green Tea Mousse they had at Japan a few years ago. Unfortunately I haven't seen it since, but as they were so accomodating as to release the recipe I can enjoy it at home. I can't wait to try some new things at this year's festival.
