Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Fleur de Lys Confit de Canard

The full description of this is Confit de Canard, Pommes de Terre Sarladaise (Pulled Duck Confit with Garlic and Parsley Potatoes)… The evening we tried this, we also had the Gnocchi Parisien and the Kronenbourg Blanc 1664.

The duck was very rich and the flavor was okay, but not as “ducky” as we prefer

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Fleur de Lys Gnocchi Parisien

The full description is…

Gnocchi Parisien a la Provencal (Parisian Style Dumplings with Vegetables and Mushrooms)

The dumplings weren’t like Italian gnocchi at all in terms of shape or texture. It was more like someone had made a long “snake” of dough, cut it off into equal sections, and called it dumplings.

The vegetables

By now, we’ve been to Spice Road Table at the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot MANY MANY times. So many times, that we have a favorite table and we’ve come to know many of the Cast Members there (in fact, today, one of the

Shutters at Caribbean Beach Resort – a dinner featuring Mahi Mahi

This dining experience took place on March 24, 2014

In all honesty, I can’t remember how long it’s been since we went to Shutter’s at Caribbean Beach Resort. If pressed to guess, I’d have to say maybe all the way back to 2008 or earlier – mostly because we typically ate at Shutter’s

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Buttercup Cottage Field Greens Salad

I think of this as Buttercup’s Salad, the actual description is a lot longer…

Field Greens with Plant City Strawberries, Toasted Almonds and Farmstead Stilton (sounds good, doesn’t it?)

 

This item was made when Nick ordered it on a Monday evening (in other words, it wasn’t sitting around waiting for someone to come

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Buttercup Cottage Potato & Cheese Biscuit and Smoked Salmon Tartare

We made our way back to the Buttercup Cottage to sample the “Freshly Baked Potato and Cheddar Cheese Biscuit with Smoked Salmon Tartare”

We had this item last year -we couldn’t detect the cheese this year either.

The salmon was VERY lemony, maybe that’s where the strong lemon scent we’ve been smelling is coming

Citrico’s at The Grand Floridian – Charcuterie and THE Veal Shank

This dining experience took place on Monday, March 17, 2014

Surprisingly, at least to us, we’ve never been to Citrico’s in the Grand Floridian Resort – the menu usually has something that piques our interest. The menu has always changed seasonally (which happens more often at Walt Disney World restaurants property

Raglan Road Pub – Soup & Salad Combo and Three Times A Boxty

This lunch experience took place on Thursday, March 20, 2014

We really like to stop at Raglan Road Pub for lunch, we haven’t done it in quite a while – and intend to fix that by stopping in more regularly. Frankly, we tend to prefer lunches or “nibble bits” (a.k.a. appetizers) over the

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Revisiting Urban Farm Eats (Tilapia and Beet Salad)

On April 7, we went back to Urban Farm Eats to have two items again (we skipped the Eggplant Scallop for a redo, we eat eggplant and spaghetti squash on a regular basis but not tilapia or beets)… Our main goals were (1) we liked them the first time around and we were hungry and
