OK! It's Saturday morning...going to try and get some more reviews done. Thanks for sticking with me!

Next up around the World Showcase was Ireland! I had the Lobster and Seafood Fisherman's Pie

Wow! This was awesome! Again, New Englander here....and absolutely loved this dish! The potatoes were yummy, the "sauce" on top was like a thicker lobster bisque and there was a huge lump of lobster in the middle. The lobster flavor was very prevalent in this dish and was definitely one that I was scraping the edge of my little bowl to get every bit. Sooooooo good!!

Greece is my next stop....and I thought this might be a bit of a challenge as my DH is Greek and comes from a big, fat, Greek family who surrounds me with delicious homemade Greek food all of the time! I don't usually get dishes like Spanokopita or Pastitsio because it's nowhere what I get on a regular basis at home.

So, in staying with that trend, I opted for the Griddled Greek Cheese with Pistachios & Honey (a dish like nothing I've ever had)

This was an incredibly interesting and yummy dish! I didn't quite know how to attack it, as the cheese was essentially one piece, and it wasn't gooey. I had to kind of lift it up with my fork and just bite off pieces. After I figured out how to eat it, I was pleasantly surprised with the taste. The cheese was almost similar to a mild Vermont cheddar and the honey worked with it so well. Then the pistachios added that crunchy texture that just brought a little something special to the dish.

I give this one

I showed this to my DFIL upon returning home and he was intrigued, and is going to seek out some recipes.

I really wanted to try that Greek cheese too but I was so full, and just wasn't sure if I'd like it enough.

We're not Greek but do have a couple of Greek restaurants around here and I have never heard of that either.

I was a little disappointed in the fisher mans pie. I think I had a tiny piece of lobster. I know it's small but mine was mostly potatoes. They were really yummy though

Oh no! I had a big price of tail meat right in the middle, so maybe that was just a pleasant surprise. The whole thing was just so tasty to me.

Major Yum is right! I've definitely got to figure out how to make it down to F & W again....but with our family trip being end of August next year, I don't think it will be 2014...

YUM! Both of your choices would have been things I would have chosen. They look delicious!

I am a Texan, but I do enjoy good seafood. The Fisherman's Pie looks good! I will have to try that next year.

I 100% LOVED the griddled Greek Cheese. You are right, you kind of had to pick it up with the fork, but it was so yummy and well balanced.
