2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Scotland Marketplace – Salmon, Vegetarian Haggis, & Innis & Gunn

The main offerings from this booth were a pleasant surprise!

We knew about Innis & Gunn beer (thanks to the adult candy store… Total Wine & More); we’ve eaten salmon on a regular basis for YEARS, and we had haggis for breakfast every single morning when we went to Scotland this past summer… So… We

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Ireland Marketplace – Lobster and Seafood Fisherman’s Pie & Guiness® Draught

We were bound and determined to have the Fisherman’s Pie from the Ireland Marketplace this year… we were just waiting and hoping for a cooler evening to have it (you know, somehow fisherman’s pie doesn’t sound appetizing in the blazing Florida heat)…

We’ve had this numerous times over the last 12 years, sometimes we’ve been

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Culinary Demonstration – lobster “yes”, what we expected “no”

Well, this was supposed to be a lobster dish with Ben Sergeant… it wasn’t. It was a lobster dish with a Disney chef (we were trying to avoid the Disney chefs this year, their demos just aren’t as good – we don’t consider Kevin Dundon to be a Disney chef, he’s Ireland’s Chef!)…

Lunch at Raglan Road on a Monday Afternoon

We recently had what I think of as our “big huge group for Food & Wine weekend!” Thankfully, the weekend ended and none were worse for wear…

On Monday, the six remaining (Big Al, Judy, Harry, Sandy, Nick and I) went to Raglan Road for lunch. There were a few items on the menu that

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Florida Local Marketplace – Florida Shrimp Cerviche & Florida Cracker Belgian-style White Ale

Part of our intent in going over to the Epcot Food & Wine Festival on a Sunday evening was to see Christopher Cross Eat to the Beat Concert – we stopped for adult beverages at Hawaii as we were walking in (most of the beer went into the trash can) and headed up toward Japan

Eat to the Beat Concert – Christopher Cross – 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival

If you are of a certain age, you will know who Christopher Cross is. Judging by all the 50’ish folks we were walking toward the Epcot entrance with (at 4:50 – just in time for the 5:30 show), I suspected that they, like us, had decided to come out and see Christopher Cross. This was

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – China Marketplace – Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun & Tsingtao Beer

We hadn’t planned on having the Mongolian Beef in a Steamed Bun… It just didn’t seem very interesting to us. Frankly, we don’t eat beef very often (although, it seems like we’re eating it more frequently in 2013 than we have in the previous 10 years!)… However, Sarah & Matt at EatingWDW gave it rave

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Greece Marketplace – Taste of Greece & Domaine Skouras Moscofilero

We recently stopped at the Greece Marketplace during the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival… we both have the Taste of Greece on our “must have” lists, when Nick saw that it was the featured pairing with Domaine Skouras Moscofilero (a wine that wasn’t on our must-have lists)… he ordered both for us to sample.

2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival – Africa Marketplace – Berbere Style Beef & Wolftrap Red

On one of our recent tours of the 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, we stopped at the Africa Marketplace for the second time… today we went for the Berbere Style Beef… (sorry about the lighting, we found a place inside to stop and eat and take photos, the lighting wasn’t the best for
