Which New Country Would U Add To Epcot?

[bigAWL]

Seems a lot of you would like an aussie pavillion BUT are you ready to eat our Vegemite Sandwiches for lunch????? Afraid I haven't met many non-aussies who're willing to touch the stuff, let alone actually like it. (Personally I love it on fresh bread, but SPARINGLY). I s'pose the trade-off is that you'd get tim-tams, lamingtons and pavlova for dessert! Mmmmmm Mmmmmmm

Wow! I thought I was pretty well-travelled and cultured - I've been to five different continents (lived on three of them) - but I have no idea what you just said.

I really had no idea how ignorant I was about Australian cuisine (you mean it isn't just like Outback Steakhouse?). Actually, I have heard of Vegemite sandwiches, thanks to Men At Work.

I wonder if the US perception of Aussie Cuisine is a bit like the Aussie perception of US cuisine??? Does this mean I should visit an Outback Steak House when we're in the states next?

OK to explain - Vegemite is a Vitamin B extract used as a sandwich spread (sparingly) - not sure if the states has anything like it, but the UK does have Marmite which is similar. Tim-tams are the yummiest chocolate coated biscuit you'll ever have - two rectangular light and crispy chocolate biscuits with a truffle-like filling between them, and the whole thing dipped in chocolate. Lamingtons (DH's favourite) are a light buttercake or sponge cake, cut into squares, then dipped into a thin chocolate icing (so it seeps into the cake just a little), and then rolled in coconut. Pavlova is like a meringue (made from egg whites and sugar), baked so it is about 2 inches thick, and served with whipped cream and (usually) fruit on top (e.g. passionfruit, sliced strawberries, or my favourite fresh diced mango mixed with passionfruit). HTH

Of course we'd also have to serve Anzac biscuits for a snack too!

Austrailia greece or Russia would be my choices. Put Austrailia in the middle of the lagoon would be great.

POLAND! or FINLAND!

Greece or Russia would be a great addition!

Does the US have a cuisine? It's mostly food from other places. I guess you might say we have hamburgers, hotdogs, fried chicken and barbecue ribs.

I'd love to hear what an Aussie thinks of Outback Steakhouse. I assume there's nothing Aussie about it except for the menu items' names ("Victoria Filet," "Alice Springs Chicken," "Kookaburra Wings," "Walkabout Soup® O' The Day" - you get the picture) and the accent of the guy on their TV ads "No rules, just right."

Greece!

 

[jetprincess]

Italy!!!!!!!

Italy!!!!!!!

Italy's already there.

 

[lippylulu]

I vote for Russia! There is a huge wave of Russian immigrants in the US--just come visit NYC if you doubt it. Mm grandparents were from Russia, and I have visited there twice. It would make an AMAZING Disney Experience!!

 

[splashmtrider]

I think Poland or Argentina or Greece would be interesting

 

[centurythree]

I think it should go to the highest bidder in either Oceania or South America. Neither area is represented at all right now.

Transylvania

Specialty Drink: "Bloody Mary on the rocks"

 

[HonnyDipp]

Greece would be interesting with the Hercules characters

 

[Crisgw]

I'd say Cuba (I'm partial ) or Spain (again, partial )

 

[DisneyBugs]

Ireland or Austraila

 

[MaleficentRules]

My vote is for Ireland, but Disney may have to place that AWAY from the UK pavillion (don't want any "Troubles" in WDW)!

Nothing against the UK, by the way. I have visited both the REAL UK and the pavillion at Epcot and both are wonderful.

I also second Greece and Egypt!

 

[stopher1]

I'd like to see Australia, Russia, or Greece

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I think it'd be cool to add an Island Nation out in the middle of the water! Russia and Egypt sound good too. I wish they would add some more to the showcase! We need more rides!!!
