Canada, Eh?

Canada, our neighbors to the north. The planned first stop for our WorldEats challenge (which we have still not yet begun). Our cruise destination back in August. The next stop on our food and wine festival journey.

Canada kiosk on Monday. Add lines in both directions and at least fifty people and that was what it was like on Saturday.

We had heard a lot about Canada's kiosk before we got to the festival. People love Canada. Here's their menu:


And here's what we tried:

Maple and moosehead beer-glazed salmon with barley salad ($4.50):


We usually prefer our salmon on the medium rare side in a dish like this, but this salmon was well done and not very juicy. The barley salad included vegetables. The sauce was a bit too sweet, but the barley had a nice bite to it. Overall A thought that it wasn't that great of a dish. M thought the dish was OK but didn't need to have it again.

Chicken chipotle sausage with sweet corn polenta ($4):


We had heard about this dish before going to the festival. M really wanted to like this because she loves chicken sausages and polenta, but found this to be really salty. With all the good reviews, she wondered if she was missing something and wanted to try it again if we had the chance (but we never did). A thought this dish was amazing. The sausage and polenta together were a little salty, but the caramelized onions sweetened and tempered the saltiness of the dish and finished it off beautifully.

Canadian cheddar cheese soup ($3.75):


We had also heard about the soup before going to Epcot, as it is one of the highlights of the festival and also served at the popular Le Cellier restaurant. The soup definitely lived up to its hype. It was rich and decadent, full of cheddar cheese, bacon and beer, but so tasty.
