[multiculturallit]

This is the Greek Salad from Greece. It cost $2.25. It was good, i enjoyed it. It taste like every other greek salad i've had. It was worth the price. I recommend it if you like greek salads.

This is the Cheesey Soup from Canada. It cost $3.25. It was really good, but you didn't really get alot of it for three dollars. But i recommend it.

This is the chocolate creme brulee from France. It cost about $3.75. I thought it was really good, it taste kind of like a chocolate pudding. I think it was worth the money, and I recommend it.

Yakitori House
Teriyaki Chicken - Chicken thigh served with teriyaki sauce and steamed rice. - $5.99
The chicken was cooked thoroughly and the rice was steamed perfectly. If you enjoy Japanese food, you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality of a quick service restaurant.

Beaches and Cream
If you’re looking for a refreshing and filling dessert, the 10 minute boat ride to The Beach Club Resort is definitely worth it. The quantity definitely reflects the price. You will not be disappointed in this choice. Fudge Mud Slide - A gooey chewy Brownie, Hot Fudge, Three Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream, Oreo Cookies, topped with Whipped Cream and a Cherry $7.99.

The meal I ate was the mofongo, which is plaintain and beef casserole. the cost was $3.75. The food was pretty good and very sweet. It tasted like a very sweet dessert. I really enjoy the plaintain. I would recommend this to somebody else to eat because you never may know, they might like it.

I also enjoyed the American Funnal cake with sugar. The cost was $4.50 with surgar. It taste like a fryed pancake with sugar on it.I think you would truely like it.

I had the brownie a la mode at Beaches and Cream. It was extremely delicious and very well priced. There was a large piece of brownie with chocolate chips with a very generous scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles. It was 5.99 without tax and you had to leave a tip. I thought that the atmosphere in Beaches and cream was very lively and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this dessert and that you take the boat instead of walking to Beaches and Cream.

I had the teryaki chicken at the Yakatori house. It cost 5.99 without tax. I didn't enjoy this very much. It was a large portion but not very good in taste. Even though the chicken was drenched in teriyaki sauce, there was no flavor. I wouldn't recommend the Yakatori house.

I also had the Camaron con pebre from Santiago, Chile. I don't have a picture but it was delicious. It was crisp and refreshing. It cost 4.00 and was well worth it. There were about 4-5 pieces of shrimp in a tangy cilantro sauce. I would definitely recommend this dish.

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.

I had the Baked Ziti from the Italian booth, Crème Brûlée au Chocolat from the France booth, and the Kitchen sink from Beaches and Cream. The baked ziti was delicious. It was like spaghetti with melted cheese and meat. The melted Cheese is what makes it good. I really liked it and would recommend it. It only cost 4.50. The Crème Brûlée au Chocolat from France was absolutley amazing. It was caramelized sugar on top and chocolate mousse on the bottom. It tasted like the most amazing chocolate pudding you have ever eaten. It only cost 3.75. I would recommend stopping at this booth. I also ate the Kitchen Sink. It was eight scoops of different kinds of ice cream with every topping you can imagine and a whole can of whip cream. Its a lot but its worth it. It costs 21.99.

I went to the Yakitori House in Japan and had the Teriyaki Chicken. It was chicken thigh served with teriyaki sauce and steamed rice. The meal with a drink was $8.50. The rice and chicken tasted excellent and I enjoyed it a lot but I don't think it was a decent value for the price. You can go to a Japanese restaurant anywhere else and get a bigger meal for less money. The teriyaki chicken tasted like normal chicken with a sweet sauce on it and the rice was deliciously sticky. It is fantastic to try though.

I liked the Greek salad from Athens, Greece. The dressing was the best part about it; however, I did not like the feta cheese. I also thought it was a very small portion for its price, which was $3.75. If you have extra time to spare you should stop at this booth.

The chocolate creme brule from Lyon, Frace was delicious. It is a light, sweet dessert that tastes like chocolate pudding with brown sugar on top. That was my first time having a chocolate creme brule and I love it now. It was $3.75 and well worth the price. I would highly recommend visiting this booth.

The cheddar cheese soup from Montreal, Canada was amazing. It was really think and rich in flavor. If you like cheese then you will absolutely love this soup. It was $3.25, which is a reasonable price for its value. This booth was my personal favorite so I would strongly recommend it to others.

A taste is all you get. Expect to pay high prices for small portions. I decided to devote my eating towards the booths in three separate "countries" and found that high prices for a small taste was consistent through out. If unfamiliar with a county's cultural and ethnic dishes, however, Epcot is a good place to sample through the tastes of multiple country's dishes efficiently. Overall, the experience seemed very real and fun, but the portions tended to be on the less generous side.

An Indian Samosa (3.25 US)

A very traditional dish, the Samosa was quite tasty and was covered in a syrupy sauce. The breaded outside was a crunchy pastry like texture while the inside is a spicy vegetable combination. The blend between the cruchy outside and spicy inside made it seem to be the Indian version of a spicy chicken sandwich. Well worth the taste, this dish is my most highly recommend portion of the day.

New Zealand Scallop Salad(3.15 US)

I felt with this dish the scallops seemed to more of a topping then the main ingredient in the salad. Spinach leaf was the the main vegetable of the plate and was topped with a blend of scallops, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Although, the dish was overtaken by the spinach leaf and therefore masked that the taste of the scallops. If your a big spinach salad fan, then this is the taste for you. Otherwise, I would try a different both.

The Chinese Pot Sticker(3.25 US)

The plate consisted of three pork pot stickers. The noddle shell is fried to a hardened crisp and then stuffed with a pork filling. A very tasty snack in China, the pot sticker is known for its mouth watering taste. However, the dish was okay. I feel like for the money it wasn't worth it, but if you've never had a Pot Sticker before, get it. There a great tasting treat, but probably can be found in any Chinese buffet for the same quality. Overall, the pot stickers tasted great but the once again the price made it seem unworthy for the while.

Thanks students for your honest opinions of the foods you tried in Epcot. I have to agree with the one student that said 'we tend to eat with our eyes first'.
It's been fun reading about your experiences and I hope your teacher gives you all an A for this project. Well done!

It's so exciting for me to see such a huge variety of food reviews from everybody...way to go guys.

By the way, samosas are my fav! The syrupy sauce looks like it may have been tamarind sauce.

 

[Tinker_Belle]

Wonderful reviews! Thank you! I am completely sold on the Strawberry Tart in France.

 

[ChelleinNC]

I already knew that I loved the cheddar cheese soup, but you all made me crave it now

The chocolate creme brulee in France sounds really good

 

[TigerKat]

At the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot I tried food from three different places. The first thing I ate was Spicy Beef Empanada from the Chile booth, it was $3.75 and i thought it was pretty good except it was filled with green onions. Then i ate at a japanese restaurant called Yakitori, where i ate chicken teriyaki with white rice for $5.99. I thought it was really good and would recommend it. At Beaches and Cream i got a Fudge Mud Slide for $7.99. The cup it came was huge so while it was delicious, i would definately split it with somebody.

I really enjoyed going from all the different booths set up sampling the foods. It was a great experience trying foods out of my comfort zone. While talking with some of the employees working the booths I learned each person was actually from the country they were working at.
In Canada i sampled the cheddar cheese soup. It was about $3.25, it was a small sample for your dollar but so worth it. Im not a big fan of cheese so i didnt know what to expect out of a cheesy soup but i really liked it. It was creamy and rich with bacon bits in it.
Next in France i sampled the Chocolate Creme Brulee. The cost for that was about $3.75. Im a huge fan of creme brulee so trying a chocolate version was interesting. I found it to taste more like chocolate pudding but it was light, sweet and very good.
In Poland i sampled Kielbasa and pierogies. The Kielbasa was a type of meat and the Pierogies are dough filled with potatoes, grilled onions came on the side. The price for this sample was about $3.25. This sample was delicious i wanted seconds of this dish.
