Ellen (podsnel) & family moved today from AKL to the BWV and spent the evening at the Food & Wine Festival.
Here is what they tried this time...
From France: "Coq au Vin sur gratin de macaroni"
(Red Wine braised Chicken, Mushrooms, Pearl Onions and Macaroni Gratin)
From France: Escargots Persillade en Brioche
(Garlic and Parsley Snails in Brioche)
Ellen said, "Both of these were not as good as other years."
From Belgium: Steamed Mussels in Hoegaarden Beer Broth and Baguette
Ellen said, "These were excellent!!! And they paired with a Stella Artois...fantastic!"
From New Zealand: Lamb Meatball with Spicy Tomato Chutney
Ellen said, "It was ok for me, but Pods adored this."
From New Zealand: Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc
From New Zealand: Seared Sea Scallop with Kumara-Red Curry Puree and Apple Radish Salad
Ellen said, "I really liked it more other years."
Then a few more pics, not from the F & W Festival...
Ellen said, "My girlfriend, Sue, and her DD, Martha (age 10) were with us tonight.
They went to Paris last spring and Martha was dying for a chocolate crepe."
From the Crepes des Chefs de France Kiosk: Chocolate Crepe
Then Ellen said, "Tyler needed a snack at the end of the night."
Tyler & a Triple Blast Ice Pop
Triple Blast Ice Pop has three fruit flavors - Wild Cherry, Awesome Orange, and Zesty Lemon
Note from jabead: I read on the Disney Food Blog that the Triple Blast Ice Pops were replacing the Itzakadoozie on the Ice Cream carts at the parks.
And then last Ellen said, "We miss our Jambo Grand Villa but wow, is it ever great to come home to this at the end of the night."

So let's see, that's 3 booths = 3 points
plus 1 bonus point for the Lamb Meatball
plus 1 point for the Chocolate Crepe snack
plus 1 point for the Triple Blast Ice Pop snack
plus 1 point for the pic of Tyler
That's 7 Scavenger Hunt Points Earned!
But I was still full for my 8 p.m. ADR at Tony's." 
Also, if you're going sometime between now and the end of January but not during the above listed dates, please still check with me if you would like to be a live reporter. I might still be able to squeeze you into the schedule depending on your dates.
