I have heard of those that drink around the world, so how about snacking? My 10 year old daughter is so excited to do World Showcase and wants to to know what kind of fun snacks we can pick up along the way to munch on. We do have the dining plan but I don't mind spending some dollars off the plan too. Please share yours favorites.
Thanks!
 
My three favorites:
Norway: School Bread
Canada: Cronut
France: Pretty much anything at Les Halles Boulangerie Pattiserie!

I heard you can get sushi with a snack credit too but I cannot confirm that.
 
China - pot stickers. Enough to share and easy to eat on the way to the next place. Egg rolls are good too (but I still miss the ones at Animal Kingdom).

UK - fish and chips - again, enough to share and easy to eat on the way to the next place.

France - the crepe place but for ice cream
 

My wife and I snacked around Epcot for breakfast and lunch, and I wanted to continue for dinner, but she put her foot down and we ended up at DTD for dinner.
 
Munch Around the World is our favorite activity at EPCOT.

There's an ice cream shop in 'France' that serves a Croque Glace and it's the best darn thing served at EPCOT. They take a generous scoop of ice cream, add either raspberry or chocolate sauce and put it on a bun. The bun is taken into a panini-like press machine and it's warmed up. So you essentially are eating a warm bun with cold ice cream (flavor is your choice) and sauce topping.

So so so good.
 
When we engaged in this same "tour" we got:

Mexico - churros
Norway - school bread
China - red bean ice cream (but I was pretty disappointed, as it came in the old school cafeteria, hard-as-a-rock, little tublet with wooden spoon) -- would shoot for an egg roll next time
Japan - Kaki-Gori (the snow-cone thing...very much enjoyed by the kids)
Germany - pretzel from the cart (just seem a lot better than the regular Disney pretzels)...but the nudelgratin and bratwurst from the quick service place would also be good; the Karamel-Kuche is also pretty awesome across the board...they once had caramel/chocolate covered grapes that were incredible, but they are gone...still like the popcorn and covered pineapple spear
Italy - might have skipped Italy....not a lot of snack options as I recall -- gelato, maybe, and Tutto Gusto is a good stop if you want to do slightly more than snack but not quite eat a full meal
Morocco - I convinced the family that a shwarma wrap was a snack...and it was great
USA - funnel cake
France - the bakery and ice cream shop are both really good
UK - fish and chips
Canada - tough one other than some sort of maple candy in the store....but as noted above, the Cronut just around the corner is close enough to be considered part of Canada if nothing in the store jumps out at you.

Since our official attempt at snacking around the world, we almost always end up back in Germany, France and UK.

I did not know this existed, I now must have this on my next EPCOT trip!!! That sounds awesome; is the Panini-bun a sweet bun? :tigger:
 
We do it just about every trip. Normally we share between the three of us so we don't get too full. We cheat a little in that we will get something like nachos in Mexico, which aren't technically a snack but when shared by three they aren't a meal either. Tons of stuff to choose from in each country so just enjoy.
 
Dang this sounds more difficult than the drinking excursion!

Good luck to all who embark on this!
 
Snacking around the world is my favorite!!! So many awesome treats :)

Here are some of my tops:
Germany - you HAVE to go to the Karamel shop, OMG! Pretty much anything from here is drool-worthy
Mexico - from the Cantina, tacos if you're in a savory mood or churros if you're in a sweet mood
UK - Fish n Chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shoppe
France - literally any item from Les Halles is also drool-worthy. also the ice cream shop here (I forget the name) has awesome treats.
 
If you want something smaller, also check out the gift shops! Japan's Mitsukoshi has some (although here in Maryland, we can buy most of those snacks at home for less...) but China had a nice ice cooler filled with fruit waters my DD had last trip to cool off - she loved it! So check out the gift shops.

Years ago, we walked through Norway and got some candies too!
 
Gelato in France, also fantastic pastries in the Les Halles bakery there (love the chocolate eclair).
Cronut at World Showcase Promenade (near Canada)
Many yummy things in Karamel Kuche in Germany and same for Kringla in Norway
Funnel Cake in American Adventure (sometimes flavored ones seasonally)
Baklava in Morocco
Kakigori in Japan
BBQ Pork Buns, Strawberry Oolong Slush and Caramel Ginger Ice Cream in China
Churros and Caramel Milk Sauce in Mexico ;)
