2011 Festival Finale

This is our last post on the 2011 Epcot Food and Wine Festival, which just concluded at Disney this weekend. We were there for a short three days but got to try so many dishes from around the world and had a great time.


To conclude, here's a list from each of us of our favorite 10 items from the festival. Similar to our year-end favorite foods lists, we made our choices independently and there may be some repetition. This is only based on taste, not cost-efficiency or plating. This sadly meant that A's list is impacted by his inability to taste some things while sick.

A's 10 favorite dishes (in no particular order)
1. Rice Pudding from Scandinavia
2. Lobster Roll from Hops and Barley
3. Pumpkin Mousse from Hops and Barley
4. Seared Scallop from New Zealand
5. Lamb Slider from New Zealand
6. Escargots from France
7. Cheddar Soup from Canada
8. Chicken Chipotle Sausage from Canada
9. Tuna Poke from Hawaii
10. Nurnberg Sausage from Germany

M's 10 favorite dishes (in no particular order)

Did you make it to the festival this year? If so, what was your favorite dish?

We don't know if we'll be back next year (too few vacation days each year) but we look forward to seeing the offerings!
