Escargots Persillade en Brioche $5.25
Ok, I’ve said I’m an adventurous eater, so I guess I gotta prove it with Escargots from the France booth! I’ve never had these little shelled snail creatures before so now’s my chance. They come in what looks like a brown creamy garlicy (guessing) sauce and inside a tiny brioche bread bowl. This clever disguise is sure to fool the pickiest of eaters! Can’t wait to add escargot to my list of weird things I’ve eaten!
Florida Orange Grove Hurricane Class 5, Florida White Sangria $3.25
Found in the NEW Florida booth, this is a blend of several Florida Orange Grove wines and is reportedly uniquely refreshing as well as their best selling wine! I can imagine wanting this after going on one of my favorite rides, Soarin’, since the part where you fly over the orange groves is my absolute favorite part! For those of you not aware, Soarin’ gives the feeling of a hang gliding experience and the orange groves part comes complete with the distinct scent of fresh oranges. Love that, and I think I will equally love this sangria!
Our Walt Disney World trip is QUICKLY approaching! We could not be more excited! We planned this trip around Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival as I’ve never been (insert shocked face here) and Mark has been dying to share it with me. Always having been an adventurous eater, nothing is off limits; I will try it all! But with there being 29 unique booths (24 countries or regions and 5 specialty items or beverages) this year, it will be quite the challenge to try something from each; challenge accepted! We will check in at the Food and Wine Welcome Center when we first arrive to get our wrist band cards (basically a gift card on a coil cord-apparently the easiest way to pay when you have no extra hands) and our passports! Each booth we go to will stamp our passports as if we have visited that country! I love this concept and it just makes me WANT to go to all the booths so I can collect all the stamps (smart marketing, Disney).
Since I couldn’t possibly describe to you all the wonderful things I’m planning on trying I’ve created a Top Ten Must Try list and in the next ten days (which just happen to be the same number of days leading up to our trip!) I will share them all with you. When I get back I will give you a full review of each! Warning: mouth watering may take place while reading these posts.
