nero.mao: How The Food & Wine Festival Was Won?Part 2

Hello Everyone! I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of my quest to conquer Epcot?s Food & Wine Festival. If you haven?t checked it out then please do so to get the whole story.

So here comes Part 2!

After heading back to the Boardwalk for a much needed nap and change of clothes it was back to Epcot for round 2 and I was ready to come out swinging.

After heading through the International Gateway I headed straight for Ireland as I was in need of some sugar.

Ireland

Warm Chocolate Lava Cake with Baileys Ganache

I?m sorry I didn?t get a better picture of the Chocolate Lava Cake but I had demolished this by the time I remembered to get a picture. This was soooo tasty and I could have easily taken a few of these down.

Canada

Cheddar Cheese Soup

Oh Canada! Words cannot describe how much I love Cheddar Cheese Soup. My only wish is the cups were bigger so I can get a bigger serving of this tasty dish. Bacon, Cheese, Beer?who wouldn?t love this!

Greece

Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki

This dish was something new for me as I had never tried Tzatziki sauce. The dish was ok, the pita bread was tasty but needed more chicken.

Desserts & Champagne

Dark Chocolate Mousse with Chili and Salted Caramel

Believe me I was going to order the Dessert Trio, but in the queue I decided to just opt for one. Chocolate and Chili is a weird combination. It tastes good but in a ?this shouldn?t taste good? sort of way.

Hawai?i

Seven Tiki Mai Tai

Drink time! I wanted a refreshing drink so I went with the Mai Tai. I knew that a beer booth was up next so it was a nice change to have a different drink. Also I went back another day and had the Pork Slider which was delicious.

Craft Beers

Red Hook Pilsner

Another beer, another tasty Pilsner. I like that Epcot has a booth dedicated to craft beers. They also offer 2 beer flights for you to sample the various offerings.

Terra

Trick'n Chick'n Curry with Basmati Rice

I was very intrigued about this booth as this was the first year Terra has graced the Food & Wine Festival. Having a Vegan booth is a great decision and it opens up new people to the Vegan style of food. Sadly this Trick?n Chick?n wasn?t very good. It was bland and tasteless. Not even the sauce could make this dish tasty. A good try but not for me I?m afraid.

Caribbean

Jerk Spiced Chicken Drumstick with Mango Chutney

This Jerk Spiced Drumstick was wonderful. The chutney offset the jerk flavour perfectly, and the chicken was a pretty nice size.

Argentina

Grilled Beef Skewer with Chimichurri Sauce and Boniato Puree

This is always a favourite of mine and a must eat of the Food & Wine Festival.? Always perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked.

Australia

Grilled Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Potato Crunchies

This was a really strange dish for me. A Lamb Chop with mint which is what you traditionally have with Lamb but also with what we in England call Crisps on top. I found this really bazaar but it wasn?t bad. The only problem was the price. A little too expensive for my liking.

Mexico

Tequila Flight

This is it, the last booth! I wanted a big one to finish off on and what better way than a Tequila Flight. If you can?t get in La Cava Del Tequila, then this is a great option just outside the Pavilion. The Flight consists of 3 different shots: Tequila Blanco, Reposado and Anejo complete with lime and salt. After doing these bad boys I was done and ready for bed?. But wait!!

Whilst looking through my Passport I noticed I had missed France!! I was so angry that I messed up, but since I was walking that way to go back to the Boardwalk I wasn?t angry for long.

France

Eiffel Sour Cosmo Slush

I didn?t take this one as I was starting to feel the effects of the day and the Tequila catching up on me. I tasted the drink which was very tasty and refreshing. Many people commented on where to get the drink from so I can see the Slush being popular.

So that?s it my friends. Food & Wine Festival is conquered. It can be done with a little planning and balancing food and drinks. Next time I will consider a more in depth strategy as there were times where I was having a few drinks in a row, and we all know that?s not a good idea in the Florida heat. Also if you are considering taking on the Food & Wine challenge beware it is very pricey. In total my day came to a grand total of $140. This isn?t too bad considering it?s a whole day of food and drink, and if you are sharing the cost with friends and family it can be cheaper.

Until next time my friends, comment me on here or tweet me @detailsofdisney
