Mrs. Jackson's Multicultural Lit Class Eats Around the World

[multiculturallit]

this is a chicken wrap with a side of couscous and a lentil salad.
the chicken wrap tasted amazing and it was very filling, so it was definitely worth the $9.95. i would recommend this to anyone who enjoys trying something new. the white sauce that they put on the wrap looks different, but it tastes delicious! i wasnt really sure about the lentil salad, the texture kind of grossed me out, so i wasnt really a fan. the couscous was odd, but pretty good. it had an interesting and different taste, but i definitely recommend trying it.

this is the strawberry tart at the pastry cafe in France. this was so delicious that my group of friends who shared this tart, we were forced to buy another because it was so great. it costed only $3.75, which i feel is a wonderful price because it is just so good!

Beef Goulash with Bacon Dumpling ​

from Vienna, Austria

was one of my favorite dishes from the many that i had tasted that day.
At only $3.50 a plate it was worth it. With beef,potatoes in a stew, and a bacon dumpling. The goulash itself tasted better than the dumpling but together it was good. I would most definitely recommend this dish to others and try it and see what their opinion is.

other foods that ive tried during this trip were

I went to the Tangerine Cafe in Morocco and ordered a lamb wrap that cost $9.95. It was amazing! The lamb wrap came with a side of tangerine cous cous and a lentil salad. The bread from the wrap was so fresh and delicious. The large quantities of lamb put in the wrap made it extra enjoyable as well as the white sauce. The cous cous had a cold taste that was very non appealing. The Lenil Salad has such an olive smell that I refused to eat it.

I also went to France and got a strawberry tart that cost $3.95. It was so amazing with the extremely fresh strawberries and delicious cream. It was so good that my group bought two.

At a booth in France I got creme bru lay that costed $3.75 which tasted like melted icecream and was not worth the money.

I went to France and ate their chochlate creme brulee. The top was a crunchy chochlate with a chochlate jello under that was cremey smooth. It only cost $ 3.25 and was a good proportion compared to other stands. It was very tastey and i have never had creme brulee befor and i wanted seconds. I do recommend visiting France the dish was delish.


-chavis!!!!

I fixed the rest I could. Great reviews so far! I'm impressed that the students tried some of the more exotic foods that many people wouldn't because they are not adventurous. Bravo.

Hops & Barley, Boston Crab Cakes with Corn and Barley Salad
$3.50

The Boston Crab Cakes were amazing. they weren't too salty or too bland. They were my favorite food I tasted all day. I was surprised at how fast it was prepared and still hot and fresh it was.

This was my other favorite. The pralines bread pudding with burbon carmel sauce. It was a good dessert to try. It was soft and the sauce wasnt TOO sweet. I would definiately suggest trying it. for $2.75 the portion size was really good and i would definately get it again.

Lyon, France (booth)
Escargots Persillade en Brioche
Provence-style Snails with Garlic and Parsley in Brioche (gross sounding, no?)
$4.50

Soooo good; if you’re into the whole eating snails thing. It was a little too garlic-y and the snails were pretty small. The brioche they were in was delicious though; it's crunchy texture complemented the texture of the snails. It wasn’t horribly expensive but for the portion size I thought it was a bit much. I recommend it to anyone who's brave enough to try.

I ate at Nine Dragons Restaurant in China. The food was really good, but it wasen't worth the price. I had the egg roll appetizer and the sweet and sour entree. The egg rolls were my favorite part. The sweet and sour pork was good, but it had some weird noodles that came with it that I didnt like. The egg rolls were $7.98 and the pork was $13.98.

I went to Athens, Greece and got the greek salad. It was very good and fresh it had olives, onions, and the classic greek dressing. Also it was 3.75, which was a reasonable price. I would recommend this to anyone, it was so good!:rotfl:

After Athens my group and I went to Canada and got this amazing soup, it was called cheddar cheese soup. I thought it was amazing! It was kinda of thick and creamy, and it was only 3.25. I would most defientely recommend this to anyone.

Awesome job everyone!

I went to Epcot's eat around the world a few days ago and my favorite country was France. Their choclate creme brulee was out of this world. For only $3.75 it was a fair price compared to others. Plus the proportion was bigger than some of the other food stands. The top of the dessert was a crunchy choclate and just below was a creamy pudding. For someone who has never tried creme brulee it was well worth the money.

Another one of my favorites was the cheddar cheese soup from Montreal, Canada. All though it was over priced for the amount they gave you it was rich and thick with flavor. With the bacon bits and other spices in it, it really gave it a kick. I recommend trying the soup.

ALLISONNNNNN!!!!

Well as you can tell, My high school's class Multicultural Literature, went on a field trip to Epcot's Food And Wine Festival. My group named One World hence the name of the title, experienced the most of all students that went on this trip. Well atleast I think so. Our group was composed of 5 people. That took turns buying dishes and sharing them amongst our selves. You would think that with such small portions this would not be possible to share among 5 people, but buy the end of the short amount of time we were there because of peoples personal reasons we were stuffed. Going places from San Juan Puerto Rico to Morroco. the experience was amazing and i hope you guys enjoy the experience that Disney has to offer. I Give It 5 stars.
(GO GROUP ONE WORLD!!!!):

Well (some) of the food we had is as listed below:

Combo Sushi Roll (California & Spicy Tuna Roll) $7.50

Before this stand I was not a big fan of sushi, but wow was i wrong about raw fish. Amazing. It was worth every cent espeacialy the spicy one. If your a spicy fan please stop here, and tell them group (One World) Sent you!

Funnel Cake with sugar $4.50

Many Americans are familiar with this dish nothing out of the ordinary. Its just funnel cake you digg? But very good.

Apple Strudel with vanilla sauce $3.59

This dish is from Germany. It is a really good dessert for when your on the go. not too small and not too big. Just the right size to get you up and going. Very Good!

Mofongo w/shrimp salad 3.75

This is what im talking about. My national dish from San Juan Puerto Rico. It was good I mean it wasn't as good as my grandmother makes it, but it was really good. Natural Puerto Ricans know what im talking about.

Boston Crab Cake with corn and barley salad $4.00

I have always been a fan of Boston Crab Cake. It was very well prepared and seasoned. Its very good. I just had to sink my teeth into this one. Very good my favorite stop. (recommended)

Beaches & Cream!!! KITCHEN SINK 21.99

This was the topper of the whole trip. it was an amazing combination of all assorted flavors, brownie bits, cookies, and all sorts of stuff. Every spoonful I managed to grab was a different flavor. It was amazing. recommended for those of groups of 5 or 6(And Yes We Finished It).

In conclusion I feel that yeah maybe the dishes are a little over priced for the small portion you get, but really think about it. If they sold you a full sized meal you would be too stuffed or full to experience all that Epcot has to offer. So i think they make the portions that small for your benefit. Now the price, thats on their benefit...

JAPAN​

Yakitori House​

I got the Sushi Tokyo Roll. It was filled with avocado, cucumber, crab meat, and smelt roe reverse rolled in sushi rice and seaweed. For 8 peices of sushi I spent $6.99. I thought this price was absolutly ridiculous! At any ordinary restaurant I could have gotten two rolls, soup, and salad for this price. Then again, I understand it's Epcot and it's not like they're making enough money already.
When I first opened the container it smelt very fishy, although it did not have a fishy taste to it at all. The only way I can describe the taste would be to say it was sticky, from the rice and fresh tasting. You also have the option of putting ginger on top or mixing it with wasabi or soy sauce. I personally do not like wasabi, just the smell makes me queasy, but I had never tried ginger before. After eating the sushi with ginger there is only one way for me to describe it: it tasted like cleaning supplies smell (if that makes sense).
Overall I really enjoyed the sushi, but it was not enough to fill me up and I do not ever see myself spending that much money on that little food anytime soon.​

The other day our class went to EPCOT to embark on the International Food and Wine Festival. During the field trip I ate in several different countries: Japan, Mexico, France, and Italy.

Japan: Orange Chicken and fried rice- delishish, better than your usual Chinese takeout, large serving for price which was around $9. =]

Mexico: Chicken Quesodilla and nachos - smaller serving size, about 4 bites, it was more like a little snack, it was not anything spectacular taste wise, not worth the $4. :|



France: Chocolate Mousse, Cream Horn, and Chocolate Eclair- all very sweet, high in sugar, delishish; would recommend the chocolate mousse over the other two. each ranged from $3.25-$4 each. =]

Italy: Sausage Pizza- not that great, very small size, about 4 bites to be exact, would have rather eaten the backed ziti. $4 not worth it. =[



Some countries were definetly better than others. I would highly recommend eating the foods you know you are going to enjoy.

Hey Everyone!

Let me just start off by saying that this is one of the most exciting field trips i've ever been on, and that I tried a couple EXCELLENT dishes! Also, let me apologize for the lack of photos on my part, as I had problems with my camera, but I assure everyone reading this that I tried EXTREMELY hard to get them posted.

The first dish that I sampled was a unique dish from China: chicken sha cha. It set me back only $3.50, but it was absolutely worth it. The chicken itself was salty and delicious while the sauce coating it had a sweet and spicy note, making for an excellent combination.

Secondly, I tried a selection of cheeses from Dublin, Ireland, which was also 3.50. All three cheeses were well presented and went well with the apple chutney and brown bread they were served with, although the young, soft cheese on the bottom was my favorite, as it wasn't quite as strong as the others.

And finally, I enjoyed an order of spicy tuna roll, which was probably my favorite of the entire day. While the texture of sushi always throws me off, I still thoroughly enjoyed this succulently spicy bit of heaven, and it's a must-have if you visit this year's food and wine festival!

I enjoyed reading all the reviews. Thanks to the students for sharing!
