After a nice breakfast it was over to Epcot to get down with the F&W. The bus was at the stop waiting for us (the wait time for the buses is nothing, we are timing it just right and have not waited for one yet).
We arrived at Epcot around 10am and the lines to enter the park were very long but once inside the park it was pretty tame. We grabbed FP for Soarin and headed to the countries.
First up was the Mouse Catch...DH loves cheese so he was very excited to try the sampler plate. From mild to strong it was Asiago, Manchego and Dorothea. He was in heaven, the slices were very large so he did share (but he really didnt want to!) and they gave him a few crackers too. He loves it and wants to get it again this week.
Then it was over to Mexico for the Chilaquiles. Nice and spicy, super cheesy and just delish! Loved it!
In Vienna we had the Tafelspitz which is boiled brisket and a boiled potato with a horseradish cream sauce. This was amazing, the brisket was super tender, the sauce was very calm and did not have that heavy bite to it that horseradish can have and the 2 large potato pieces were great. We had to fight over it!
Then a pit stop in China for a drink. I love the peach schnapps oolong frozen tea! It is so refreshing and not too sweet.
Next stop was Germany, DHs favorite as he is 100% German! We had the Spaetzel with Creamy Mushroom ragout and the sausage with kraut in a pretzel roll. Both were fantasic! ***WARNING, BRENDA! I know you detest mushrooms so look away, just look away!
Over to Louisiana for our first shot at crawfish. We shared the etouffee and it was very good, loaded with crawfish and had a nice spice to it, we both enjoyed it a lot but it was a bit on the salty side for me. Look at all those mini bottles of Tabasco!
That was it for the F&W booths for today, we were pretty full but still needed something sweet so we went over to Norway and shared a glazed pretzel. To me it tasted like the old school bread, yeasty with a glaze, it was ok for me but DH really liked it. He would get it again but not me.....just nothing that special I guess
Here is a pic of the new schoolbread, about half the size and has caramel and toasted and untoasted coconut on it. DH wants to try it later this week.
