Now believe me , home I am a responsible professional, pillar of the community..
BUT.................
Since my son is now grown, my husband and I always save one day at epcot to be completely decadent and drink our way around the world:
but we start in england (no special drinks in canada really) with a (few) hard cider(s) and some fish n chips...
then a wine sampler or kir royal and a sweet snack in france...
then something in morrocco (can't remember what by this point) while we giggle at the bellydancers...
ahh yes, sample different kinds of saki in japan and a maybe a plum wine too just 'cause it's yummy...
usually just a funnel cake in america no special drinks here either...
lemoncellos and more wine in italy...
beer (i don't DO schnaps) in germany...etc.
by the time we hit china we need a nap...but we soldier on...
no great drinks in norway but maelstrom is so much more fabulous by this point!
and of course, margaritas in mexico or a beer if that's too sweet, and that little market (I wonder why I always buy something...) and the cute river de tiempo ride...
and then......
usually back to england for another hard cider and more fish n chips (husband is british and usually homesick and sentimental by this point) while we watch the fireworks.
OR - dinner at one of the great resturants, often le cellier, I love the garden and the creme brulee' --plus, it's close and i probably need to sit down bt now.)
Once, when we were there we hit the jackpot and stumbled onthe "food and wine festival" . Extra countries were represented and each had terrific wine tastings and specialty drinks.
They do it yearly, try to go if you can....we were befriended by a drunken but harmless group of foreign students who worked at epcot (sssh, they would get in trouble) who were such fun! they dragged us all over, "you've gotta try this one, and that one, and..." you can just imagine!
Anyway, it's lot of fun, forget the calories - just be sure to eat a little bit in each country so you don't get too stupid!
ps- my grown son and his partner did it with us last time except they didn't eat much and they were a little bit embarrassing...they should have stopped before norway, but it was dark by then and no one seemed to mind...
