What did I just Eat?

[famsen]

I just ate the corn tortellini dish at Be Our Guest. Why is it served in the pasta water? It was soggy pasta and a few vegetables in a wet water bowl of water. Is this a thing? I've been vegetarian for 30 years but never had anything like that. I miss the old BOG menu.

Smoked Ricotta and Corn Tortellini - roasted corn and peppadew relish, rainbow cauliflower, and asparagus with a corn-infused nage

So I had to look it up. Nage is a French term for a flavored liquid in which food is poached. So it sounds like that is what the liquid was supposed to be. Doesn't sound particularly appetizing, though.

Yep..that's exactly what nage is.

Sounds like the OP got exactly what they ordered.

Well I may have got the nage but there was no "infused" flavor of any kind. It literally tasted like pasta water. It's a very watery , bland dish and a very unusual choice for the nly vegetarian option. I enjoyed the old BOG menu and experience much more. I'm sad to say that.

I don't know about any of this stuff but I love your post title! Assuming you are going to MNSSHP tonight (based on being in MK at 5:00PM and the candy in your profile pic), have a super night!

The menu description sounds fantastic. The execution sounds abysmal.

How disappointing! I did see it on YouTube and remember thinking that it looked quiet... wet.

I’m still torn about whether or not we will keep our BOG ADR, because I really wasn’t sold on the sole vegetarian option, and this is not making me any more enthusiastic about it.

First? I am SO SORRY that you got to experience "BOG Dining", in all it's glory. Now, I have no idea if you normally use DDP, TIW, or OOP.

I DO have a suggestion....? GET OUT OF THE PARKS. MK? Grab that lovely Monorail. Hit the Cal Grill at the Contemporary, Citricose's or Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian... or even the "kinda" good Restaurants at DS (Bus)?

BOG is a Cafeteria. It's always BEEN one, it REMAINS one . It's a LOVELY Cafeteria.... Best architecture with "no food" I have ever seen .

All personal opinion - I'm not necessarily right, no one else is necessarily wrong.

I kind of agree, but I’ve only been there once. It was a one and done for me. Beautiful atmosphere, but the food was just okay.

For a vegetarian it *was* good. Not cafeteria food at all for the first couple years.

Then the soups stopped being vegetarian, then they dropped the...quiche?

And now this? Yuck.

Reminds me of this line.

What's the vegan option? Maybe that's a better future option for vegetarians...

It can't be - there's ricotta in the tortellini...

It might just be corn instead of ricotta. I had corn ravioli at Trattoria al Forno without any ricotta.

The title of the dish is smoked ricotta and corn tortellini...and with the lack of any other creaminess to the dish, I can't imagine just dropping the ricotta would work (although, I guess the dish doesn't work as is, either, if Op's experience is the norm)...

Duh, you are correct. Missed that one.

There isn't a vegan option.

The menu is, what it is.

And as much as the OP didn't enjoy what what served, it was exactly what was on the menu.
