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.

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.

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.

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;
