Which entree is that from Blue Bayou? It looks yummy!

Could that be prime rib in jenseib's photo?? I don't know.

Anyway, folks, I have mentioned before that I get the Food Holidays newsletter from Food.com, but I also get a newsletter from a site called National Day Calendar.

National Day Calendar says that tomorrow, June 5th, is supposedly National Gingerbread Day -- and I know that anyone who has traveled to DLR for Halloween Time and the holiday season (and probably even now!) has seen the gingerbread cookies with mouse ears in the sweet shops! Post your gingerbread photos for National Gingerbread Day!


(Today is both National Cheese Day and National Cognac Day!)

Strip loin, looks like prime rib and is slow roasted like prime rib, but not quite fork tender like prime rib, still tasty though.

National Gingerbread Day? Sounds fun to me (although, it would make more sense to me if National Gingerbread Day was in December! ).

You can't eat these, but the WDW resorts build some pretty impressive Gingerbread and Chocolate showpieces:

I'm going through Disneyland withdrawals, so I came to find my favorite thread, but looking at all these delicious things is not helping, it's making me wish I was there even more!!

No kidding! It was super hot here today and I really really wanted a Dole Whip!

As many folks know on this board, I love me some holidays -- so I guess I am branching out into food holidays too!

Today is National Doughnut Day... and, you know, a doughnut could also technically be considered a beignet (if anyone has pictures)!!!

I love this Food.com/Food Holidays site. Look at the awesome calendar they provide, to guide us through the rest of the food holidays for the rest of the year (though sometimes the National Day Calendar comes up with food holidays that they missed, such as National Applesauce Cake Day). Strawberry Shortcake day? Peaches and Cream day? Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month! There is no end to the yumminess! (My birthday, inexplicably, is Junk Food Day. Lovely.)





figment_jii --

While it's true that Gingerbread Day seems a little misplaced in June (but I love your pictures!), at least Candy Corn Day is in October; Eat a Cranberry Day is in November; and both Eggnog Day and Candy Cane Day are in December (as they should be)!! Pumpkin Pie Day should probably be in November, but it's actually in December.

I can do that!

The Mickey Beignets from the Mint Julep Window (with their version of a non-alcoholic Mint Julep)

The Mickey Beignets from the French Market

Beignet from Jazz Kitchen Express (with their version of a non-alcoholic Mint Julep)

Beignets from Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen

And for a little bi-coastal flare...Beignets from Port Orleans French Quarter

Love the figment, Figment_jii. Now which one of them is the best or Are all of them pretty good? There's no place in Maryland that sells them.

Thanks! I'll preface this by saying I've never been to New Orleans, so I can only compare the ones I've tried at DLR/WDW. They were all good, when they're hot! Warm/room temperature beignets aren't as good as the ones that are piping hot. I think the edge goes to the ones at the Mint Julep Bar because they're Mickey shaped! The ones from POFQ were my next favorite because they were made fresh to order (so they were piping hot when I got them) and covered in lots of powdered sugar. In the end, they were all good.

I believe it was this. Slow-Roasted Beef Strip Loin - Over Rock Salt and Carved to Order. Crispy Shoestring Onions, Blue Bayou Au Gratin Potatoes, Seasonal Vegetables and Armagnac Green Peppercorn Sauce.

White Water Snacks....they have the best nachos ever!!!! Chicken or beef.

I actually can't wait to get to Disney just for the food at this stage *drools*
