As I wrote about earlier, the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival now includes food specials just like their Food and Wine Festival. The menus are completely different though which is nice and most of the dishes are lighter due to the event being in Spring as opposed to Fall. I tried at least one item from most of the twelve booths and the following were my favorite picks.
Pan Fried Vegetable Bun
One of my favorite surprise dishes was the pan-fried vegetable bun from Lotus House – the booth in China. The bun is very soft and is filled with chopped vegetables. It is served with a sweet sauce which really enhances the overall flavor.
Carnitas Taco
The pork carnitas taco from Jardin de Fiestas – the booth in Mexico, are very flavorful and have pork rinds which add a nice amount of texture. The carnitas were a tad dry but the flavor made up for it.
Potato, Chive and Cheddar Cheese Biscuit with Smoked Salmon Tartare and Sour Cream
My absolute favorite item comes as a complete surprise from The Cottage: Savories, Trifles and Tea – United Kingdom booth. It is described as being a “Potato, Chive and Cheddar Cheese Biscuit with Smoked Salmon Tartare and Sour Cream.” The biscuit is very flaky and the cheddar flavor comes through but is not overpowering. The smoked salmon tartare is perfectly fresh and the sour cream and chives offset any fishy notes. I cannot wait to get another one.
I will be posting some of the other good finds soon but these were my favorite.
