As usual lot's of fun and some good eats. More and more specialty brews than ever.

Biggest surprise was the Mongolian Beef in China. I was like yeah Mongolian Beef? Ho Hum. But it came in this soft delicate white bun in a spy chili sauce. Wow. Really tasty. Same stand, the Black Pepper shrimp was very meh.



Biggest let down-- Lobster Fettucinni Alfredo in America. Runny flavorless sauce. A smattering of cheese, and tiny bits of lobster, baked in a cup full of macaroni noodles.

Biggest WTF? Vegetarian Haggis in Scotland. I didn't try it, cause I've never had Haggis & figured that'd be like trying vegetarian Boudin right out the box.


Other faves, Brazilian Pork Belly in black bean sauce,

Australian Shrimp, Spicy Shrimp roll in Morocco, Beef bourguignon in France was good but most surprising were the portions were surprisingly big.

There were Beer Flights available in the German Beer Garden and the Craft Brew exhibit. I'll post a few pics this weekend if I get a chance.

Here's a link of the full menus plus pics of all the dishes. LINK

Dangit.

I passed by it several times but never got to stop. We went to Epcot 3 times but still only managed to try about half the Booths. 3-4 small dishes and 3-4 small beers still fill you up pretty quick. Plus toss in a desert or 2.

This is my fear. Ha.

I can put down a ridiculous amount of food so I'll be able to try a lot, but I'm also going to a sandals resort right after Disney. Maybe I shouldn't be to much of a glutton.

Don't forget to stop and get a "Cronut" - not at a country booth but in the permanent snack stand at the right of the entrance to the World Showcase.

Everything we sampled was great. France and Africa stood out to me. Packed on the weekend. Try and go on a weeknight.

For some reason, I plan to stay far away from the Africa area when I go next week

It's actually inside of the pavilion.

Once you enter and are in the "shopping area", look to the right:

They had a flight at the cart up front. Rolling with that.

Someone said the best margs aren't in Mexico though. Can't remember where they are.
