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.
I can't wait to hear what you had at F & W. Hopefully we can make it out there one night this week. 
) that he likes it. I hate recommending places because everyone's taste is so different. But you've convinced me to try two new places next year--Spoodles and Boma (breakfast). And now you have me looking at Jiko. DH is ready to kill me and we don't go for 11 months yet and I've already changed places three times!
I told him it was your fault--hope you don't mind.
and postpone til a date yet to be determined. DH's ankle is just too bad for him to make the trip and really enjoy it.
It just looks burned, and I don't care for caramel. I guess I can cross that off my list.
) The brisket in Vienna sounded really good 
filet. He was very happy to hear the wine sauce could be served on the side and thinks the mac & cheese sounds really good. I think I've created a monster 
Have a great night and feel free to have a mai tai for me 
Yeah! You liked the Austrian food!
