One Last Trip to Food and Wine
I needed lunch, and I had a couple more hours in Disney.. so of course I had to hit up Food and Wine one last time! It was time to check out some of the booths I didn't get to visit the first time around, and there was a lot I was looking forward to. I arrived in Epcot around noon and couldn't wait to start the food! First up was the Hawaii booth, where I got the pineapple wine and the pineapple pork slider.
The wine was fine, and I had been on the fence about ordering the slider since I'm not a huge pork fan. But it was amazing! One of my favorite things. I know it's a festival favorite but rightly so, I would definitely recommend this one. Next up on the stops was the Ireland Fisherman's pie:
This was another winner. It was super yummy. The only downside was that it was quite filling and rich, especially in the warm weather. And there were still a lot of things at the festival I wanted to try! I stopped in France to watch some of the street entertainment:
In Japan I tried to sushi hand roll. I love sushi and this one was very tasty. It was bigger than I expected, but still a little pricey for what it is.
Over at Singapore I got the Lemongrass chicken curry with coconut and jasmine rice :
This was disappointing. The flavors were nice, but I felt like I got a really small portion and there was almost no chicken in mine. Definitely a bummer. While I ate that I also enjoyed a beer from Germany, the Altenmünster Oktoberfest :
Traveling around the World Showcase!
It was sad to see that Norway was already under construction, with the Maelstrom sign gone:
I was interested in trying the Key Lime wine from the Farm Fresh booth:
This was... bad. I'm not super picky, and I like sweet wines, but this was like sickly sweet. I couldn't even finish this, and for me to throw out alochol - that's a big deal! But luckily I finished Food and Wine on a high note:
This dessert trio from the Dessert and Champagne booth was amazing! It had a blueberry cheesecake roll that was full of flavor, a yummy passion fruit creamsicle, and a chocolate espresso cake. It was all amazing! At that point my tummy was stuffed, and dessert seemed like a good time to stop eating anyway, so I tried to do a couple of rides before I had to leave. I got on Nemo:
And managed to have time for Test Track since I could do the single rider line!
Goodbye Epcot!
Sadly, then it was off to the airport to head back to real life. It had been a great trip though!
