BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Posting a few new more in here from the Disney Food Blog. Looks yummy! Epcot Food and Wine Festival Food Pictures: Brazil and Mexico BoothsOct 4th, 2011 by AJ.We’ve been exploring the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival booths for a few days now, and you can see photos of just about every food and drink menu item available on our Epcot Food and Wine Festival Booth Pages! But we also enjoy sharing quick reviews of the booths during the festival.MexicoMexico is a true winner this year. The booth brought out a favorite from the La Hacienda de San Angel restaurant — shrimp tacos!Crispy Shrimp Taco -- $3.75The rib-eye tacos were MY favorite, though. (Are you surprised? I’m pretty sure my middle name is rib-eye at this point.) Flavorful and tasty!Rib Eye Tacos -- $5.50The flan was a nicely-sized portion and tasted delicious.Flan -- $3.00And while the Strawberry Lime Margarita isn’t as good as the ones you’ll find in La Cava del Tequila, it IS quite good!Strawberry Lime Margarita on the Rocks -- $7.75You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Mexico Booth Page!BrazilOver at Brazil this year, there’s a completely new menu! The mahi mahi was really tasty; I like it as a new addition!Seared Mahi Mahi with steamed Rice, Hearts of Palm, and Coconut-Lime Sauce -- $4.50This signature Brazilian stew is made with black beans and pork — it was much darker than I expected! Very chunky and packed with black beans.Feijoada -- $2.75Of course, the frozen Caipirinha was awesome!! Definitely a must-do drink at the festival in my opinion.LeBlon Frozen Caipirinha -- $7.50You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Brazil Booth Page!Tell us what YOU’RE loving at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival in the comments below! http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/10/04/epcot-food-and-wine-festival-food-pictures-brazil-and-mexico-booths/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hey Monique, I just remembered something from the F&W CM preview last Thursday.I was born in Portugal so seeing that Portugal was added this year, guess what country I'm looking forward to trying?I walk up and ask all the CMs working behind the counter, who's from Portugal, no one.Ok, I'll try the Linguica sausage. It wasn't Portuguese Linguica, not even close.I was tempted to suggest that they go to Publix and buy some. At least theirs is pretty close to the real thing.Very disappointing, and no, I didn't take any photos of the food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Well that IS disappointing. This was one of the ones I was looking forward to.I lived in East Providence RI for a couple of years - where there is a huge Portuguese population and as a result some really great food.Ah well... I guess they can't all be winners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
we3peas 12 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 My dd and I just did our first pass at F&W today. We were using a ranking system of 1-5 (5 best).Here's what we tasted until we got full:Hawaii:Pork slider-4 dd doesn't like mayonnaise and still liked thisDesserts&Champ-White choc mousse-5 very good wished it were a bigger portionGreece-Chicken souvlaki-3 it did not look nor taste like chicken, more like a mild sausageIreland-Cheese selection-4 too much cheese as we did not finish, but saved it for later. Lava cake-5 once again wished the portion was larger. Meade honey wine-5 sweet taste, did not taste the alcohol in it (plus for me!)Belgium-choc seashell truffles-2, these are given to you in a sealed box. Not made up in the kitchen that day. Did not really have much of a choc taste.Morocco- kefta pocket-3 nice sized and not too spicyNew Zealand-lamb slider-4 dd said hers was too spicy with the tomato sauce. I would agree based on that we don't really like spicy food, but I still finished it.Hops and Barley-pumpkin mousse-5 loved the sweet taste especially the cake inside.That's as far as we got today because we were full. Going back on Monday with dh so he can try a few things too.Weather was awesome today. Nice breeze and not too hot. We didn't wait more than 2 minutes at any booth to be served.If I ever figure out how to post pics from webshots I will.

Click on any booth or country name for detailed information, menus, photos, and prices. We also wanted to share quick reviews of the booths during the festival.Today — we’re off to two brand new World Showcase booths: Hawaii and the Caribbean! HawaiiHawaii delights with a delicious pork slider this year — the added sweet and sour Dole pineapple chutney and spicy mayonnaise add even more layers of flavor.I really liked this one, and was surprised to see pineapple baked into the roll!!Kalua Pork Slider with Sweet and Sour Dole Pineapple Chutney and Spicy Mayonnaise -- $3.00The Tuna Poke with Seaweed Salad is less “up my alley” than the pork slider, but it was very fresh and high-quality. I’ve been hearing raves from seafood lovers!Tuna Poke with Seaweed Salad and Lotus Root Chips -- $3.75The Mai Tai in Hawaii was lovely!! This is a must-buy for those mixed drink fans. Sweet, with a great flavor!Seven Tiki Mai Tai -- $7.25You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Hawaii Booth Page! Caribbean IslandsOver in the new Caribbean booth, you’ll have the chance to sample the Jerk spiced chicken drumstick with mango salsa. This item is a huge serving, and the dark meat gives it some good flavor. Sadly, I was hoping for more Jerk seasoning on my portion, but it largely just tasted like…chicken.Jerk spiced Chicken Drumstick with Mango Salsa -- $3.25The Ropa Vieja with rice was a great local dish, but, again, didn’t sing the way I’d hoped it would. Still, it’s worth a try if you’re hitting the Caribbean booth.Ropa Vieja (Braised Beef) with White Rice -- $3.50The Frozen Dragon Berry Colada was veeeeeerrrry sweet! If you’re a pina colada fan, this might be for you!Frozen Dragon Berry Colada -- $7.25The Frozen Rock Coconut Mojito was my favorite of the bunch at the Caribbean booth! Tart with just a hint of mint, I was a fan from the get-go. Interesting, since I’m not usually a mojito lover!Frozen Rock Coconut Mojito -- $7.50You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Caribbean Islands Booth Page!Tell us what YOU’RE loving at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival in the comments below!

PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I think it says a lot that the reviewer thinks a "chicken leg with some mango salsa" is a HUGE serving. It might put things in perspective for us! A huge serving in our bunch might be a whole breast or a leg quarter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Epcot Food and Wine Festival Food Pictures: Portugal and Scandinavia BoothsOct 7th, 2011 by AJ.It’s time for more 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival booth food pictures!As always, if you want to see full coverage of each booth, check out our Epcot Food and Wine Festival Booth Pages! Click on any booth or country name for detailed information, menus, photos, and prices.Today, let’s take an in-depth look at Portugal and Scandinavia! PortugalA brand new booth this year, Portugal brings some very different tastes to the Festival. We started out with the calamari salad with fennel, olive oil, and smoked paprika. The flavor here mostly comes from the fennel and olive oil, but the dish is unlike any other at the Festival!Calamari Salad with Fennel, Olive Oil, and Smoked PaprikaThe Pastel de Nata in Portugal is a fun and unique dessert. Basically a custard in a crust, the simple, light flavors tasted like vanilla to me! Definitely worth a try.Pastel de NataThe Linguica Sausage with onions, peppers, and olives (mostly olives…) was outstanding. A super-spicy sausage accented with delicious flavors from the vegetables made for a hearty and savory dish. This was my favorite from Portugal.Linguica Sausage with Onions, Peppers, and OlivesYou can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Portugal Booth Page! ScandinaviaScandinavia is returning this year after a hiatus at the festival, and brings us some cold-weather favorites! The Swedish meatballs with lingon berries (yay, lingon berries!!) was a winner for me. I liked the sweet paired with the savory in this dish.Swedish Meatballs with Lingon BerriesBut the rice pudding with berries was outstanding! My favorite item at this booth, hands down, was this dessert. Very creamy, with a depth a flavor you wouldn’t expect. The interesting textures made for a unique dish. Yum!!Rice Pudding with Driscoll’s Only the Finest BerriesThe Taste of Scandinavia was my least favorite dish here, as I imagine it will be for most folks. Cold fish and shrimp just didn’t make my taste buds shiver…Taste of Scandinavia — Shrimp Salad, Cured Salmon and HerringLuckily, I followed up with the Xante Sunshine cocktail, featuring Xante pear and cognac liquor. This sweet cocktail — with a touch of tartness — was delicious.Xante Sunshine cocktail made from Xante pear and cognac liquorYou can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Scandinavia Booth Page!http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/10/07/epcot-food-and-wine-festival-food-pictures-portugal-and-scandinavia-booths/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 From the Disney Food Blog... Epcot Food and Wine Festival Food Pictures: Canada and Australia BoothsOct 10th, 2011 by AJ.It’s time for more 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival booth food pictures! Today we’re headed to two of the most popular booths at the Festival — Canada and Australia!As always, if you want to see full coverage of each booth, check out our Epcot Food and Wine Festival Booth Pages! Click on any booth or country name for detailed information, menus, photos, and prices. AustraliaAustralia brings back the favored lamb chop for the third year in a row, pairing it this time with a potato-goat cheese salad, which is quite good! A fun flavor and great texture. Again, the lamb deserves all of the accolades it’s getting.Grilled Lamb Chop with Potato-Goat Cheese Salad and Shiraz Reduction -– $5.75A surprise winner for me at the festival this year was the Shrimp on the Barbie with Pepper Berry Citrus Glaze. The shrimp were very well-cooked and I really enjoyed the (more spicy than I expected) glaze!! Great flavor on these.Shrimp on the Barbie with Pepper Berry Citrus Glaze -– $4.50And, again, the Lamington is a fantastic dessert. Offering three different textures and flavors — moist sponge cake, rich chocolate ganache, and coconut — it’s like eating a yummy, cakey Mounds bar!Lamington (chocolate and coconut covered Yellow Cake) -– $3.00You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Australia Booth Page! Canada BoothOver in Canada this year, some fan favorites return and there are some new things to sample.The quintessential Moosehead Beer and Cheddar Cheese Soup is back again, delighting all!Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup – $3.75And the salmon has switched a bit this year, now being served as a Maple and Moosehead-beer Glazed Salmon with Barley Salad. Our thoughts? We liked last year’s better, but this version is fine as well. I like the Barley salad this year better than last year’s Lentil version.The Apple Ice wine seen in the photo below next to the salmon is the bubbly version, though you can get it sans effervescence as well. I didn’t love this as much as I wanted to; the bubbly made it bitter (in the way bubbly water can be bitter). I bet I would have liked the “still” version of the drink much better.Maple and Moosehead-Beer Glazed Salmon with Barley Salad -– $4.50 and Neige – FB (apple ice wine) –- $5.75Once again, the Chicken Chipotle Sausage with Sweet Corn Polenta is a super-winner here. The sausage is very spicy again this year, and the sweet corn polenta is the perfect side dish. The polenta’s relaxed, sweet flavor softens the harsh spiciness of the chicken sausage. The perfect compliment.We actually brought friends to the festival this year who returned again to this booth for more sausage!Chicken Chipotle Sausage with Sweet Corn Polenta -– $4.00You can see more pictures, the full menu, and prices on our Canada Booth Page!http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2011/10/10/epcot-food-and-wine-festival-food-pictures-canada-and-australia-booths/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
