Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Buttercup Cottage Lemon Scones

We were eager to have the lemon scones from the Buttercup Cottage – a couple of reasons, (1) the offerings from the Cottage last year were quite good and (2) the scent of these lemon scones accosted us every time we walked past, just begging our taste buds to enjoy them.

When I saw photos

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – The Smokehouse Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork

We liked the Beef Brisket and the Pulled Pork quite a bit last year when they debuted at the Flower and Garden Festival; so much so that we’ve talked about them to each other and anyone else who’d listen.

First off, let me point out that

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Flower Power Concert Series… The Orchestra (ELO)

Last Sunday afternoon, we went over to Epcot with the express purpose to attend the Flower Power Concerts… Because, The Orchestra were playing (Former Members of ELO)…

We were actually able to get some photos, and true to what we learned in high school from friends who were in rock and roll bands, the bass

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival 2014 – Florida Fresh Watermelon Salad

We had originally said that we weren’t interested in any of the food at the Florida Fresh Outdoor Kitchen, however, on a recent Sunday’s visit to Epcot, we found ourselves craving “salad”… So, watermelon salad, here we come!

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – Taste of Marrakesh Lamb Brewat Roll

We only tried one item from Taste of Marrakesh at last year’s Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival (spiced lamb kebab with vegetable couscous salad), it was pretty pitiful and disappointing because we typically LOVE lamb. We were so disappointed, that we just didn’t even try the booth during the Epcot International Food & Wine

Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014 – Lotus House Spring Pancake

Last year, we had the Spring Pancake twice… the first time, it was pretty “sorry” – the second time, it was improved.

Spring Pancake from Lotus House 2014 (with a side dabble of Srircha Sauce)

So far in 2014, our reviews on this item are mixed…

the pancake wasn’t greasy as it had

2014 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival – Outdoor Kitchens and our plans for this year

Last year, we tried to eat everything from the outdoor kitchens during the Flower and Garden Festival (link to our FlipBoard magazine, Adults Extra Walt Disney World Magic – Flower & Garden 2013) – we didn’t “succeed” because there were some booths that we just didn’t want to eat at…

Sorry folks, this year is

Mexico Pavilion Orchids – Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2014

The orchids in this pavilion are always gorgeous; before the outdoor kitchens became part of Flower & Garden, they were most evident along the main walkway around World Showcase. The day we were taking these photos, people kept stopping and wondering what we were staring at up high in the trees … Orchids of course.
