So what was your favorite items from this years food and wine festival at epcot? I had 3 things I really liked that I could eat/drink a lot more of...

1. The seared mahi mahi w/steamed rice, coconut lime sauce from Brazil
2. The shrimp taco from Mexico
3. dragonberry colada from the caribbean kiosk
 
Germany: Nurnberger Sausage in Pretzel Roll (By far my very favorite)

Mexico: Ribeye Tacos

Argentina: Grilled Beef Skewer (without Chimichurri Sauce) and Boniato Purée

Drink:

Italy: Fantinel Prosecco
 
My top 3 best foods were-
1- Coq au Vin at France. What a great taste treat and quite large.
2- Lobster and Scallop Fisherman's Pie at Ireland. Tasty and filling.
3- Belgian Waffle with Berry Compote at Belgium. Wow!

I had the Kalua pork slider at Hawaii and it was dry and underwhelming but a lot of people rave about it.

I completely agree with you about the Kalua Pork Slider.

I really liked the Lamington from Australia, the Boolgogi from South Korea and the Bunny Chow from South Africa.
 

I just wish I had room to sample more.
I loved:
1) The Lobster and Scallop Fisherman's Pie in Ireland
2) The Lamb Chop in Australia
3) The Belgium Waffle in Belgium

1. Cannoli in Italy. Had it twice. It was the only repeat item.
2. Boolgogi Beef in South Korea
3. Taste of Scandinavia
4. Cosmo Slush in France.

Nothing else compared for me! Except the ice cream at China but that's available year-round. :laughing:
 
I haven't been to F&W since 2002, but I felt like looking through the menu and seeing what I would really want to try.

Argentina: Grilled Beef Skewer with Chimichurri Sauce and Boniato Purée
Australia: Grilled Lamb Chop with Potato-Goat Cheese Salad and Shiraz Reduction
Belgium: Steamed Mussels with Roasted Garlic Cream & Baguette
Greece: Griddled Greek Cheese with Pistacios and Honey
Hawaii: Tuna Poke with Seaweed Salad and Lotus Root Chips
Hops and Barley: Pumpkin Mousse with Ocean Spray Craisins and Orange Sauce
Ireland: Lobster and Scallop Fisherman’s Pie
New Zealand: Seared Sea Scallop with Kumara-Red Curry Puree and Apple Radish Salad
Singapore: Shrimp Cake on a sugar cane skewer with Singapore Noodle Salad
South Africa: Seared Filet of Beef with Smashed Sweet Potatoes and Braai Sauce
 
Argentina: Grilled Beef Skewer with Chimichurri Sauce and Boniato Purée (Loved these last yr too. I think I ate 4 of them this trip)
Caribbean: dragonberry colada from the caribbean kiosk
Caribbean: the shredded beef with rice (can't remember the name)
 
I didn't try much. My DH, though, LOVE LOVE LOVED the lettuce wrap pork thing at South Korea (I think it was)?? He still talks about it.

I had a coconut mojito that was fabulous. I didn't care for the greek griddled cheese - too smoky. I didn't like the pork slider at Hawaii...texture. DH loved the escargot - I was too full to try it (but my 4 year old loved it, too!).

I was very under whelmed by the pumpkin mousse. Good portion...but tasted almost freezer burned. And had a bitter after taste.

I wanted to try, but never got around to:

Shrimp taco
Mussels
Tuna Poke
Seared Scallops
Fisherman's Pie
 
We liked the Seafood Pie, Shrimp tacos, and both lobster dishes at Hops and Barley. It was so crowded that day, we had to skip a lot of booths.
 
I was at Disney for the F & W festival and enjoyed many of the different foods the different countries had to offer. However I have to say one of the best things that I eat was at Hollywood Studios at the coffee shop next to the Sci-fi Restaurant. It was a carrot cake cookie OMG!!!! it was amazing....you wouldn't be disappointed if you get one.
 
My top 3 were...

Canada - maple & Moosehead beer glazed salmon
Brazil - seared mahi mahi
Ireland - lobster & scallop fisherman's pie

DH & DS loved the tuna poke from Hawaii. They had it a couple of times.
 
1. Fisherman's Pie from Ireland.... handsdown the best for me and dbf. We had to get a 2nd helping the next day. (his and hers pies... :rotfl: )
