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!

Lettuce Wrap with Roast Pork and Kimchi Slaw – Food and Wine Must Tries

Lettuce Wrap with Roast Pork and Kimchi Slaw $3.25

I’m kind of obsessed with lettuce wraps so of course we sashay over to the South Korea booth to try this one! I didn’t know what Kimchi Slaw was exactly so I looked it up and it appears Kimchi is a type of fermented cabbage which apparently is delicious (we’ll be the judge).  Between the Kimchi and lettuce leaf lies roasted pulled pork (big fan and hoping for flavor-packed pork). All of this is topped by what looks like some dull mayo squirted on top but we shall see and who knows, I may ask for it without the white condiment!

Lobster and Seafood Fisherman’s Pie – Food and Wine Must Tries

Lobster and Seafood Fisherman’s Pie – $6.00

We have to head over to the Ireland booth and pay homage to our Irish ancestors! This “pie” combines lobster with other various seafood (haven’t heard much on what it is exactly) with a creamy sauce and topped with real creamy mashed potatoes. Sounds like some comfort food if I’ve ever heard it!

While we’re in Ireland we might as well try the super popular Warm Chocolate Lava Cake with Bailey’s Ganache – $3.25 I mean, if we have to…

Post Edit: Sad news. Ireland’s kitchen was in-operable the day we were there so we were not able to try the Fisherman’s Pie or the Lava Cake! So we took ourselves over to the United Kingdom pavilion to try (for the first time!) some fish and chips from the Yorkshire County Fish Shop! We shared this little snack of two pieces of battered fish with a nice pile of “chips” all served in “newspaper!”
