This experience took place on Sunday, May 18, 2014<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, we’re joined by our friends Lisa & Andy! We thought it would be nice to have some fresh baguettes from Les Halles in the France Pavilion to go with all of our yummy food…<\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

we brought our own fresh baguettes (oh oh)<\/p><\/div>\n

No worries, Nada took them to the kitchen and soon they reappeared on our table cut and ready to eat.<\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

fresh baguettes, I’m ready for some food and olive oil!<\/p><\/div>\n

As we often do, we ordered the hummus and olives – everyone thought they were very good (as you can see in the photo below). I had the Queen of Hearts White and Nick had an Estrella Damm. Andy had the Condeza Delaganza Red and Lisa had a glass of Ouzo.<\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

uh, the hummus and olives were devoured<\/p><\/div>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

Mussels Tagine<\/p><\/div>\n

Three of us wanted the mussels – Lisa can’t eat bivalves and we learned from the Chef that all of the seafood is cleaned in the same area – so if someone has an allergy to bivalves, they can’t eat shrimp at Spice Road Table (the obverse is also true).<\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

Lisa had the Chicken Harissa Roll<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m ready to eat with my hands, that knife and fork are just for show!<\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

fresh baguette and mussels (been day dreaming about this since our second visit to Spice Road Table – our moroccan friends use baguettes as eating utensils)<\/p><\/div>\n

Other food was also consumed with gusto…<\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

stuffed grape leaves<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

spicy shrimp with dried chiles and brown bread<\/p><\/div>\n

Andy ordered Baklava for Dessert<\/p>\n

\"#spiceroadtable<\/a>

these were quite good, I especially like the variety on the upper right with large pieces of nuts<\/p><\/div>\n

We finally got a photo of Nada! If you were around Epcot this past year, you probably saw her standing outside of Spice Road Table regardless of the weather. She always greeted us with a smile and light conversation.<\/p>\n

She went back to Morocco in early September – and we miss her. We’re hopeful that she’ll find her way back at some point and we’ll be able to greet her with smiles as large as her own.<\/p>\n
