Flame Tree BBQ salad

[bobbyshawatl]

I've got a question about the BBQ chicken salad at the Flame Tree in Animal Kingdom.

About 8 years ago, my wife got this salad there, it says it was one of the best salads she ever had. It was served in an edible tortilla shell. She talked and talked about that salad saying how good it was.

About 4 years ago, on our next trip, we ate at the Flame tree again. She got the salad, and found it served in a plastic take-out type bowl. She was sorely disappointed in the salad, and said she probably wouldn't get it ever again (I got the ribs both times, and was NOT disappointed. I LOVE the FT ribs!)

Well, we're going back to Disney in November, and I see on another website the salad described as: "Mixed Green Salad with Barbecue Chicken -- crisp greens and tomato with balsamic vinaigrette dressing in a toasted garlic shell".

Does anyone know if the salad has returned to being served in the edible bowl or in the plastic bowl? Could they have simply been out of the other bowl on that 2nd visit?

Thanks in advance for the info. It would make my wife happy to know she could get that salad she was so impressed with all those years ago...

I know that last August it was the plastic container but the salad was still yummy....

The menu was updated on allears 1/08... so I'm not sure if it's changed since last August???

It was served in a plastic bowl last Sept. too!

The salad is still described as involving a toasted garlic shell. The toasted garlic shell is a generous piece of garlic crispbread that is tucked into the salad. The salad itself is contained in the plastic bowl.

Despite the plastic bowl, I still find it to be quite tasty, especially when I dip the chicken in some spicy bbq sauce.

My DH is still talking about his salad from the Flametree. He loved it!

What are your dressing choices for the salad?
