EPCOT's International Food and Wine Festival
What food hit the spot?
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival takes place once a year and lasts for a few months. During this time, there are numerous booths set up around World Showcase in EPCOT. These booths serve a few different dishes and/or various wines, representing different countries and places around the world. This year's Food and Wine Festival lasts from July 27th to November 18th. I was actually there on the first day of the festival along with all the other bloggers! While I was there, I was able to try a few of the dishes, but not any of the wine (since I’m underage). I obviously couldn’t go to every booth and try every dish, but I visited EPCOT’s Canada and France to share two dishes with my family from each of those booths. I have ranked and talked about these dishes below to give you a “taste” of what EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival has to offer:
Boeuf Bourguigon, Pommes Dauphine (France): Personally, this was my favorite dish that I tried at Food and Wine Festival. It reminded me of a beef pot roast, and a good one at that! The beef was tender, and the dish overall had a good texture and great taste! I definitely recommend!
Cheddar and Bacon Soup (Canada): I knew right when I saw this that it would be right up my alley, and sure enough, I loved this dish! It consisted of Cheddar and Bacon Soup along with a pretzel roll. The pretzel roll was pretty good, but the soup was absolutely delicious! It was creamy and had a great flavor!
Filet Mignon (Canada): This was the first dish I tried, and I thought it was delicious! In my opinion, the steak was cooked a little too well done, but that is just my preference. The potatoes on the side were pretty good, and the flavor of the steak and the mushrooms all tasted outstanding together!
Beignet aux Trois Fromages (France): Since most of you probably don’t understand French (I don’t either), I will “translate.” This was basically like a three-cheese roll. I expected it to be more like a dessert at first, but it was more of a savory dish. It was really good, but probably my “least favorite” dish I tried at Food and Wine Festival (all of them are delicious).
By now, I’ve probably made you hungry (sorry)! I had a great time trying all of these foods on the first day of Food and Wine Festival. If you are going to Disney World (specifically EPCOT) before November 18th, then you can try some of these dishes for yourself!
