Flower & Garden Thoughts So Far

[DrivenByDisney]

The Flower & Garden Festival is in full swing and we have been spending most of our time at EPCOT sampling all of the food (and beverage) items the past few trips to The World.

We visit during the week as our jobs are mostly weekend workings so the crowd levels, even during this Spring Break week have not been out of control during the week to us anyway. We did not stand in any line longer than a few minutes for any of the food items.

EPCOT as always looks so good with all of the flower displays everywhere. We enjoy walking through the butterfly house and watch them flying about. Much easier to get around than during the Food & Wine Festival as well.

Here are a few pictures of what we sampled last Thursday. My favorite item so far is the Shrimp & Grits from the Florida Fresh kiosk. It has Shrimp with Stone-Ground Grits with Andouille Sausage, sweet corn, tomatoes and cilantro. It is the last picture on this thread.

Second favourite so far is the Jerk-Spice Grouper from the new La Isla Fresh kiosk. It's the third picture down.

Is that the Desert Rose sparkling wine in the 5th picture down? How was it? Definitely going to try the grits dish!

We had the shrimp and grits at F&G two years ago and it was one of my favorite dishes, along with the pork slider.

YES!

It is very good and I will be having more when we head back to EPCOT tomorrow for sure!

Shrimp and grits is the best. Will have to try those. Coral Reef has a shrimp and grits dish as well but I haven't tried.

F&G is my favorite time to be at Epcot!

It means Winter is OVER(for the most part)!

I see the watermelon salad, but can you identify the other dishes and give us your thoughts?
