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!
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).
First morning we will monorail to the Grand Floridian Resort to have a gourmet breakfast of possibly Lobster Eggs Benedict or Maple Vanilla French Toast at the Grand Floridian Café!
The International Food and Wine Festival in Epcot will be our host many times during this trip as there are 30 countries for which our goal is to sample something from each; impossible to do in one trip!
Who doesn’t love them some dueling pianos?! I do! Mark’s never been to a dueling piano bar but lucky for him there’s one on Disney property! We will have a fun-filled night at Jellyrolls at the Boardwalk! Can’t wait to request “Mmmbop” and “Man or a Muppet!”
While planning our upcoming trip, we’ve realized there are lots of tasty treats that either or both of us haven’t tried! We’ve made it a goal to seek out and mark these things off our list in upcoming trips.
3. Kitchen Sink Sundae: This giant sundae is the featured creation at Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club resort. It includes everything you could ever think a sundae could have including the kitchen sink! It’s supposed to serve 12 so maybe someday I will take this delicious concoction on with the help of others!
7. Ramune: I recently learned about this Japanese soda available in the Japan pavilion in Epcot which has two unique features. One, that it comes with a marble that you pop into the bottle before enjoying the drink. A marble! And somehow people are not choking and dying! Second, it comes in 35 flavors, some of which I have no idea what they’d taste like and one I know I would have a hard time trying-octopus!
