Why so much lamb for Nevie?

In her own words…

As you can see by my menu selections I eat a lot of lamb. I should probably explain why.

During undergraduate school at Clemson we had to choose between the usual speech class or showing an animal. I didn’t care much for talking about stupid assigned topics, so I chose to

Morocco – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

We had hoped to try the shrimp roll at Morocco and as of today, we’ve had the shrimp roll once and the beef Kefta pocket twice (it was good the first time and worth repeating).

So, after disappointing items from the Morocco booth

Andrew Zimmern Culinary Demonstration – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

this Epcot International Food & Wine experience took place on Saturday, October 11, 2014

Let’s start by saying that from Friday afternoon until Monday morning, Epcot is absolutely crazy during Food & Wine. We arrived well before noon for our 1:00 demo and they had already filled up the grassy areas between the

South Korea – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

We loved the Kimchi Dog last year and so had to get it again this year. We got one for Walter too!

Kimchi Dog with Spicy Mustard Sauce

Simply delicious. This is just damned good. It isn’t overly spicy but if you’re afraid of spicy, that’s fine, I’ll have yours! These are made

Farm Fresh – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

Before our second Tequila Lunch, we decided to stop and get the bacon hash at Farm Fresh. Everyone all over the ‘net has been raving about how good it is… Should have known that with our luck, ours wasn’t that great.

first Tequila Lunch at La Hacienda – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

This Food & Wine Festival experience took place on Thursday, September 25, 2014

I think this was our seventh Tequila Lunch (we did it twice in 2012 and in 2013), but it was Nevie’s first time. She had told us that she likes tequila – we found out later that she really likes

Australia – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

Nevie was with us the first full week of Food & Wine and since she was on a quest to eat as much lamb as we could find… the lamb “lollypop” from Australia made the list repeatedly.

We thought that this particular lamb chop

New Zealand – Epcot International Food & Wine Festival 2014

Last year, we really liked the venison sausage at the New Zealand booth. The booth has been relocated (I believe it was next to Morocco in the past), it’s now nearer Mexico.

Nevie thought this was “yum!” Nick thought it was even

Spice Road Table – Tingis Sampler v2

This experience took place on Saturday, April 12, 2014

There are three items on the Tingis Sampler…

The Lamb Slider: it was smaller today than on our first Tingis Sampler; it wasn’t very “meatball shaped” (i.e. it wasn’t round), the shape was more like it had been cut off of a round loaf;
