Is there a food item or recipe that you discovered at Disney World that you liked so much that you started buying or making it at home?

For me, it is the adult grilled cheese sandwich from Captain Cook's at the Poly. To me, a grilled cheese was always 3 slices of American cheese. That was it. Even though I love all kinds of cheeses, and often have a variety in the house, until I had that sandwich, it just never occurred to me to mix different cheeses on a sandwich. Since first having that sandwich, doing the same thing at home has become quite the norm.

Just today, I made a grilled cheese for lunch. I used American, extra sharp cheddar, and Locatelli romano cheeses. I'll mix various cheeses depending on what we happen to have.

Does anyone else have a Disney food that they make at home?
 
The DW just got me a Disney Desserts Cookbook. She's made the gray stuff cupcakes from BoG before, real yummy. We try to make the beer cheese soup at the Biergarten every once in awhile, too.
 
I've made a few things over the years, but nothing that has really "stuck" as "regular". I used to have a couple of the Mickey cookbooks, and tried various recipes, and years ago the booths at Food & Wine gave out free "recipe cards" of the stuff they were serving - I tried an English-trifle sort of things from there called a raspberry fool which a friend from Northampshire said she'd never seen/heard of. LOL. I also remember working very hard on a complicated recipe for the Grapefruit Cake from Brown Derby which took a long time and many ingredients, and was just "meh". I was pretty disappointed.
 

Croissant berry pudding, holiday sandwich a la Earl of Sandwich, BOG breakfast open-faced baguette sandwich. I requested recipes for the GF tea chicken curry sandwich and caramelized onion tartlet. Still waiting.
 
Tonga toast, macadamia pancakes, pineapple syrup ( i keep a batch all the time) and strawberry compote.
yea, we like Kona !
 
i LOVE the peanut butter & jelly shakes at PrimeTime Cafe (i often get one when I visit hollywood studios. All you gotta do is order it at the bar, to go).

I tried making it at home a few times, but its just not the same.

I'd like to try the sriracha chicken and waffles meal they have at the food trucks at Downtown Disney.
 
We started going to WDW in 1988, our son was 13 at the time. After a couple of years we ate at Marrakesh and we all loved it, to the degree that our son bought their cookbook and started making some meals at home from it. I still make Vegetable couscous on a regular basis, our whole family LOVES it. I know Marrakesh gets a bad rap sometimes, but their really are some of us that enjoy those particular flavors and spices.
 
I have the cooking with Mickey cookbooks and love the following

Canadian cheddar soup
moms meatloaf
Freedom fighter chicken
Beef bourguignon
 
I've made the following WDW recipes at home:
Mickey Waffles
Tusker House Oven Roasted Potatoes
Tusker House/Boma Beef Bobotie
Dole Whip (didn't taste remotely close!)
Beaches and Cream Milky Way Cake (no longer offered?)
Biergarten Nudel Gratin


Disneyland specific:
Mint Julep

Probably more but I can't remember right now.
