Grilled Beef Skewer with Chimichurri Sauce and Boniato Purée – Food and Wine Must Tries

Grilled Beef Skewer with Chimichurri Sauce and Boniato Purée $5.00

Last but not least, we will get our happy little tummies over to the Argentina booth to try this lovely beef skewer (because again, who doesn’t like food on a stick?)! I wondered with Boniato Purée is, so I looked it up and found it’s a sweet potato with a white dry flesh with little sweetness that is usually grown in subtropical regions. Hmmm interesting. And chimichurri sauce just sounds good and a little research taught me that it is native to Argentinean food-perfect!

Grilled Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Potato Crunchies – Food and Wine Must Tries

Grilled Lamb Chop with Mint Pesto and Potato Crunchies – $5.75

The Australia booth apparently likes its food on a stick and the lamb chop has a built-in stick/handle which just makes it fun! This meat on a stick is reportedly melt-in-your-mouth tender, the mint pesto made fresh daily and is topped with homemade salt and vinegar potato chip crunchies. Sounds delish!

Maybe we stop next door too at the Caribbean booth for the wonderful-sounding Bacardi® Frozen Dragon Berry Colada ($7.75)!

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup – Food and Wine Must Tries

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup $4.00

I made mention of it in the last post and this is nothing new to us but a definite MUST HAVE! The Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup is made with Moosehead beer and speckled with bits of bacon. YUM! So creamy and “dipable” they could probably call it fondue!

Since Le Cellier (coveted restaurant in the Canada pavilion) is one of our favorite reservations to get in Epcot, we have to also have the “Le Cellier” Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle Butter Sauce ($6.50) while we’re at the Canada booth!

Roast Bratwurst in a Pretzel Roll – Food and Wine Must Tries

Roast Bratwurst in a Pretzel Roll – $4.75

Once we discovered pretzel bread, there is no turning back! Thus, this roasted sweet and savory sausage inside the coveted salty bread from our friends at the Germany booth is a must try! I am wishing the Germany booth was a little closer to the Canada booth so we could dip this pretzel roll into that Cheddar Cheese Soup but am hoping for an equally beautiful marriage with the bratwurst!

Since we’re right next door to the Brewer’s Collection booth we’re thinking this might be a good time to also try German Schöfferhofer Grapefruit wheat beer (6 oz: $3.50)! This booth is the ONLY place this is available in the U.S.!

 

Kalua Pork Slider with Sweet and Sour Dole Pineapple Chutney and Spicy Mayonnaise – Food and Wine Must Tries

Kalua Pork Slider with Sweet and Sour Dole Pineapple Chutney and Spicy Mayonnaise – $3.25

There doesn’t seem to be an overwhelming amount of chatter about this Hawaiian favorite but how great does it sound?! The word “slider” just makes you want to bite into this mini-sandwich and who doesn’t love some pulled pork? I’m looking forward to comparing this pork to the pork in the Korean lettuce wrap! And the sweet shiny Hawaiian bun just pushes it over the edge for me. I think it might be love at first sight!

Crispy Shrimp Taco with Chipotle Lime Mayo and Cabbage on Flour tortilla – Food and Wine Must Tries

Crispy Shrimp Taco with Chipotle Lime Mayo and Cabbage on Flour tortilla $5.25

The Mexico booth’s little seafood treasure had me at “Chipotle Lime Mayo” as I’m in love with anything chipotle! I also love the bright colors and apparent variety of textures packed in this tiny taco package. I might have to make my dad proud and pair this with the Tequila Flight which includes 3 shots of Mexican favorites: Tequila Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo, all for $12.50!
