Kalua Pork Slider with Sweet and Sour Dole® Pineapple Chutney & continue reading 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Hawaii Marketplace – Pork Slider & Tuna Poke … Okay, the zapiekanki is an example of memory outpacing actual experience. We both thought that this was one of our hits from 2012 (ha! not so much)… So we had eagerly awaited a cooler evening during the 2013 Festival when we could get this tasty gem and actually enjoy it. So, on the first cool continue reading 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Poland Marketplace – Zapiekanki & Okocim O.K. Beer … The day of the huge group tour of food & wine – we split a Lamb Meatball with Spicy Tomato Chutney from the New Zealand Marketplace, it wasn’t any better than last year, and we each had our own Venison Sausage with Pickled Mushrooms, Baby Arugula & Black Currant Reduction, it was good enough to continue reading 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – New Zealand Marketplace – Venison Sausage … I wanted to sample the Schinkennudeln (Pasta Gratin with Ham & Cheese) – Nick didn’t have this as a “must have” on his list… a digression, not to be confused with digestion By the way… Have you heard of the new cookbook that’s all over the blogosphere the last few weeks?
