To our surprise, the <strong>Trick'n Chick'n</strong> comes thisclose to passing as actual chicken. The texture, color and consistnecy is nearly exact - but there is that something that reminds you this is not actual meat. The dish could've used more curry flavoring, but otherwise it's decent. However, the <strong>Chili Colorado</strong> is a tofu-based chili that hits you with a disturbing mouth feel when you are expecting to taste a regular chili. If you are a tofu person you'll likely enjoy it. The chips are delicious, and the cashew cheese did not particularly stand out as anything special. The <strong>Pinot Noir</strong> is a typical moderately dry Pinot, nothing worth writing home about. The <strong>Silk Berry Smoothie</strong> was the stand out hit for us - smooth, creamy and delicious! <br /><span class="thumbnail-image-inline ssNonEditable"><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_Terra.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1349034345705',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20466355-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349034345761" alt="" /></a></span></span></li>

The <strong>Xante</strong> is a cognac with pear and spicy vanilla flavors. A strong drink that might not be for everyone. Order the <strong>Xante Sunshine</strong> to get the cognac mixed with some fruit juices for a sweeter, lighter to drink, (yet strong), cocktail. The pours also are a bit larger than last year, and the price only went up by a quarter. Good deal!<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_XanteCocktail.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1350227818838',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20623691-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350227818839" alt="" /></a></span></span>&nbsp;</span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: 110%;">Jinro Chamisul Soju - $6.50<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Review 10-10-12:</span></strong> The <strong>Lettuce Wrap with Por</strong><strong>k</strong>, while very small, is tasty with a decent mix of flavors and sauces. Not amazing, but the best option here. The <strong>Mung Bean Pancake with Shrimp</strong> is a very odd item. A dry, cake-y item with a very heavy sesame oil flavor with random chunks of little shrimp stuck in it. The intense sesame oil flavor overpowers whatever other flavors might be in there, and is unedible. We like weird foods and flavors, but this is just bad. The review doesn't get much better with the drinks. The <strong>Bohae Black Raspberry Wine</strong> is like drinking an intoxicated raspberry. You better really like raspberrys to finish this bitter fruity wine. The <strong>Jinro Chamisul Soju Fruit Slushy</strong> is a complete waste of money - it's a cup of blended ice with the slightest hint of orange flavor, let alone alcohol.<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_SKorea_food.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1350228698604',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20623770-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350228698605" alt="" /></a></span></span>&nbsp;<span class="thumbnail-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_SKorea_drinks.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1350228727277',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20623773-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1350228727278" alt="" /></a></span></span><br /></span></li>

This unique brew is currently only available in the United States right here at Epcot! If you've ever had any of the other "fruity flavored" beers on the market, this is very similar in style. It's a light lager with moderate to mild hoppiness but kicks you right in the tastebuds with an intense grapefruit punch. If fruity beers are not your thing, skip this one, as this is not just a hint of flavor. If you enjoy a unique beer, this is right up your alley! <em>(P.S. It is not the best accompaniment with funky cheeses.)</em><br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FGrapefruitBeer.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1351010944293',648,1080);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20725510-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1351010944294" alt="" /></a></span></span>&nbsp;</span></li>

Our favorite country "Cheese" has returned. Someday we'd like to visit that land. Anyway, onto the <strong>Trio of Artisan Cheeses</strong> review. The Trio includes a honey-drizzled Cheddar, Brie with berries and Bleu with a small toasted piece of bread. We are big-time cheese lovers and could see nothing wrong with making a meal out of some fine cheeses. We really enjoyed the Bleu, which has a moderately "funky" intensity. Not the strongest out there, but it can hold its own. The Cheddar is a medium/mild flavored cheddar that goes nicely with the addition of the honey. The Brie is the biggest let down. This one has almost zero flavor. The blandest Brie we've ever had. Even the berries couldn't save this cheese. Not the best value at the event either - the pieces are very small. For a better value, head over to Ireland for their Cheese Samper where you'll get much larger pieces, and in our opinion, better cheeses.<br /></span><span class="thumbnail-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_CheeseBooth_CheeseSampler.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1349370497099',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20522723-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349370497101" alt="" /></a></span></span></li>

Almost like a piece of pizza, Zapiekanki must be Polish for "comfort food" because that's what this is: ooey, gooey, cheesey simple snack. A good one for that picky eater in your group as this is seriously lacking much interesting flavor or spices of any kind. You can tell that the ketchup is homemade as it tastes a bit blander than Heinz. Even with that, it could've used a bigger drizzle of it as it got dry towards the end. A safe bet here, and you definitely get your moneys worth with this item - it's big. <br /><span class="thumbnail-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_Poland_Zaiekanki_AppleTea.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1349369652181',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20522575-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349369652183" alt="" /></a></span></span><br />To wash that down, we got a <strong>Belvedere Frozen Lemon Apple "Tea"</strong>. This is another drink that joins the ranks of our favorite Sling down at Singapore. This frozen treat is packing a pretty decent punch - our cups began to freeze up on the outside quickly - and you should know what that means by now (it's strong!). Basically a lemonade slush, this is a great choice while walking around in the outrageous Florida humidity these past few days. Since it's not overpowering in flavor, it goes with just about any dish nicely. Go ahead, get one. It's so good you just might forget that you paid $8.50 for about 4oz.</span></li>

This white wine packs a lot of lime flavor, but it tastes artifical. It would actually taste better as a cocktail with some vodka and Sprite. The <strong>Florida Orange Grove Hurricane Class 5 White Sangria</strong> isn't having us run to Home Depot for 2x4s. Sorry, but if you put "Hurricane" in your drink name it had better pack a mean punch. The Sangria has a dominate mango flavor and is lightly sweet and not dry at all. Both wines are fine, but we were expecting more given the names. Oh, and don't even get us started on the food items that are supposed to represent Florida - Arepa?? Ceviche?? What about gator or grouper?<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFL-Wines.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1351012350966',648,1080);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20725741-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1351012350967" alt="" /></a></span></span>&nbsp;</span></li>

One of the all-time best dishes of the event <em>(though it seems the bowl shrinks a little bit every year)</em>. Creamy, with a heavy bacon and cheese flavor. We are pleased to see the <strong>Wild Mushroom Filet Mignon</strong> on the menu this year, but were concerned about how it would be cooked since we prefer our steaks medium-rare. You don't get an option of how you'd like it cooked at the booth. Ours was closer to the well-done side of the spectrum. Even nearly cooked to death, the steak, since it's a filet, was still incredibly tender and delicious. The addition of the mushrooms and truffle butter sauce makes this a savory, must-eat bite at Food &amp; Wine. We washed down our food with an <strong>Apple Ice Wine</strong> which is </span><span style="font-size: 110%;">a very sweet wine with a cidery-apple  hint to it makes this one of the better ice wines we've tried. Smooth,  and satisfying and not too overpoweringly sweet like some ice wines can  be. The <strong>Mission Hill Family Estate Syrah</strong> is a savory, but not too dry wine with a hint of spice in the flavor. A perfect complement to the rich steak and soup. (Sorry for the lousy photo, but it was dark and we couldn't wait to dig in! The steak might have a rather undesirable presentation, but it's delicious.)<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-inline ssNonEditable"><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_Canada_SteakSoup.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1349037007215',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20466695-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349037007216" alt="" /></a></span> <span class="thumbnail-image-inline ssNonEditable"><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFW12_Canada_Sirah.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1349037033179',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-20466699-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1349037033181" alt="" /></a></span><br /></span></li>

The 5 shrimp were cooked nicely and served on a skewer. The glaze is a light citrus flavor, nothing overpowering or particularly interesting, but good. We also tried the <strong>Grilled Lamb Chop with Potato-Goat Cheese Salad</strong>. While the Chop had a nice sear on the outside, it was cooked way too well-done to be good. However, that's something that may change depending the chef. Try to get a peak at someone else's before ordering. The <strong>Potato-Goat Cheese Salad</strong> was nearly inedible unless you enjoy drinking straight red wine vinegar. The dressing was so intense we couldn't enjoy the goat cheese &amp; potatoes, let alone taste them. This simply must have been a mistake. To wash down this mediocre snack we shared a <strong>Shiraz</strong>, which was also a disappointment. A very bland, boring Shiraz that should be skipped.</span></li>

This takes the award for the most unique and&nbsp;adventurous&nbsp;plate at the event. The Shrimp Salad consisted of small shrimp in a mayo-style salad. Tasty after you get over the initial "wow that's fishy" bite. That reaction only intensifies as you take a bite into the pickled Herring. Like biting into a raw fish that had been sitting out in the sun all day. That is for hard-core Scandinavians only. This was our first pickled Herring, and will be the last. The salmon was nice, like a typical cured salmon you find served at parties. It's presented with 2 crackers, which is not nearly enough to finish the plate.<br /><br /><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Review 10/1:</span></strong> Hello Xante. Where have you been all my life? <strong>Xante</strong> is a cognac with pear and spicy vanilla flavors. Remember that when you order it - you are drinking cognac on the rocks (well, a couple melty ice cubes anyway). If only served in a snifter you could walk around the World Showcase feeling fancy. If you like any liquor straight up, give this a try. If you prefer it mixed, you're in luck. The <strong>Xante Sunshine Cocktail</strong> is the same great cognac mixed with lemon juice, lime juice and elderflower. Not quite as strong, but just as tasty. This cocktail version is better suited for your average drinking enthusiast. <strong>Great bang for your buck, but watch their pours.</strong> We received half of a wine glass, which is about what we expected. We've seen some patrons get barely an ounce in their cup. For $5.75 they can pour it to at least half.<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FScandinavia_XanteDrinks.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1317772469005',360,504);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-14479922-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1317772469005" alt="" /></a></span></span>&nbsp;</span><span>&nbsp;</span></li>

The chicken was cooked perfectly and the mushroooms and onions made for nice accompaniments. The sauce could've used a bit more red wine to really make that flavor pop. It's one of the better sized plates for your money too. &nbsp;<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FFrance_CoqAuVin.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1318336376482',432,720);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-14576109-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1318336376483" alt="" /></a></span></span><br />We enjoyed the&nbsp;<strong>Sparkling Pomegranate Kir</strong>&nbsp;as well.

It's similar to a moderately dry white wine but gold in color with the flavor of sweet honey that's very noticeable, but not too overpowering. It makes for a great after dinner wine or dessert wine. The Honey Meade pairs pretty well with the cheese platter, but stick with a Guinness for the Fisherman's Pie.</span></li>

Lightly seasoned ground beef with raisins and corn mixed in on the bottom with a cornmeal-like topping that was very similar to mashed potatoes. A decently sized amount for the price too. We also had the <strong>Carmenere</strong> red wine which had a rich, spiced but not too dry flavor, and the <strong>Santa Ema Chardonnay</strong> which was a very pleasant Chardonnay with a sharp flavor and not too dry. Great wines that we'll get again.<br /></span></li>

<li><span style="font-size: 120%;">Leblon Frozen Caipirinha $7.25<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size: 120%;"><strong>Reviews:</strong> <br /> 10-17: This round we gave the <strong>Grilled Pork Skewer</strong> a shot. A small-ish chunk of pork on a stick with a crumbly coating. Maybe it was just our luck, but ours was very dry and tough - almost too tough to eat. It was just a dried-out piece of pork lacking any unique flavoring or spices. We're for sure not giving this one another go. Did you like it? Was it not as tough for you?<br /><br />10-15: When someone says "stew" to you, how do you picture it being served? In a bowl, right? Their <strong>Shrimp Stew</strong> is served on a plate and trying not to spill while finding a make-shift table was difficult. The watery broth is served over rice and is unfortunately completely lacking of any flavor of the coconut and lime that was promised. It did come with 4 decent size shrimp but they were 4 of the most boring shrimp I've ever had, and, they were served tail-on, what kind of stew comes with tail-on shrimp? Enjoy your sticky fingers if you get this one. The dull flavors might make this a safe dish for the non-adventurous but if you ask us, skip it.&nbsp;</span></li>

While not the best cuban sandwich I've ever had, it wasn't bad. I'd get it again if there weren't so many better offerings at F&amp;W. <strong>Asopao de Pollo</strong> is a simple chicken soup but the inclusion of green olives gives it a fun twist. Simple. Tasty but not the biggest serving of soup. But at $2.50 at F&amp;W, what do you expect? We've had the <strong>Bacardi Mojito</strong> before, and it's one of the more unique and refreshingly tasty beverages in the showcase.

Just try it. Trust us. <strong>Tsing Tao</strong> beer is a smooth lager - not very hoppy and nearly no bitter aftertaste. If you like Bud you'll like this.<br /><br />10-3: The <strong>Black Pepper Shrimp</strong> are shrimp with a light tempura breading served on a bed of chilled noodles. This was the tamest black pepper shrimp I've ever tasted. So much so that we  couldn't detect a hint of black pepper anywhere! Very bland shrimp, no  flavor besides shrimp to be found. The noodles were similarly bland,  over-cooked &amp; mushy. Won't be trying this one again.<br /> </span></li>

Decent amount of meat, for a rib, and dripping in a rich, tangy soy-based BBQ sauce makes for a tasty dish. The sour pickled cucumbers make an excellent compliment to this fun food find.&nbsp;<br /><br />10-3: The <strong>Lettuce Wraps</strong>, while fun &amp; different to try, didn't have  much flavor to offer. Bland is not what I should be describing in South Korean cuisine! <strong>Raspberry Rice Wine</strong> has a crisp, fresh berry  flavor and wasn't too sweet or tart. <strong>Herbed Rice Wine</strong> has a sharper,  grass-like flavor.</span></li>

Oh, and the <strong>Sling</strong> is still like drinking grain alcohol . . . to us, that's a good thing. <strong>Tiger Beer</strong> is one of our favorite beers that we first discovered at Food &amp; Wine several years ago that is recently available at most liquor stores too. It's a lighter, smoother, easy to drink beer without a lot of aftertaste. A good compliment to these spicier dishes. <br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FSingapore_Food.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1287862623036',288,432);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-9093140-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1287862623041" alt="" /></a></span><br />10-15: This is by far our favorite booth of the event so far. These entrees actually have great flavor and are reasonably priced for the portion. We decided we'd better try another (twist our arm)&nbsp;<strong>Singapore Sling</strong>&nbsp;to see if that first one that tasted like straight-up grain alcohol was a mistake. It wasn't. This probably holds the title for strongest drink in Epcot right now (besides tequila of course). Word to the wise, this drink is for the experienced drinker only.<br /><br />10-3: <strong>Coconut Beef</strong> is excellent! We've never combined the flavors  of a nice heavy shredded beef with coconut, but somehow it works  wonderfully. Our favorite item so far is the <strong>Shrimp Cake</strong> - it looks like a  large scallop on a sugar cane stick and has a unique and fun asian spiced taste.<br /> We also tried the <strong>Singapore Sling</strong> (not our first sling, of course). We  must've gotten the bottom of the drink barrel because after a sip from  this tiny cup I could've lit my breath on fire! I'm betting they're not  supposed to be this strong so we'll take another for the team and try  it again later. But, for $7 for the little cup it better be a worthy  drink. For less than that you can get a 20oz. beer.<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FSingaporeSling.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1287335155783',288,432);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-8906033-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1287335171752" alt="" /></a><span class="thumbnail-caption" style="width: 200px;">20oz. beer vs. Singapore Sling<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 14.4px;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></li>

Goes very well with the Flavors of Africa dish. <br /><br />10-22: The <strong>Flavors of Africa</strong> bread, spread and salad sampler is one of the better dishes of the event. Our only complaint is that they give you too much spread and not enough bread! (We asked for an extra piece and scored!). If you've ever dined at Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge this will remind you of the offerings there. I'm not particularly up on my typical African ingredients and spices but I'll do my best. The dish includes two thick olive oil based sauces, one green and one an orange-red color. Both sauces have a delicious extra virgin olive oil tang to start with. The flavor of the green sauce is deliciously herbie (basil and parsley? Watercress?) with a slight citrus finish. The orange-red sauce baffles me, I'm thinking there's some sort of ground nut in it, maybe pecans? Both are great - too bad they don't give you an entire loaf of bread with them.<br /><br />10-15: In a beef kind of mood, I decided to give the <strong>Beef Tenderloin</strong> a try. I let out a loud 'whoa' when I was handed my plate - the tenderloin and the potato puree was smaller than my clenched fist (couldn't have been more than 3oz) On top of the ridiculously small size, the tenderloin was way over-cooked, a solid well-done (yuck). With the plastic cutlery, it was like trying to cut through a shoe. The sauce drenching the puny piece of beef tasted an awful lot like one of your typical bottled BBQ sauces. Potatoes were boring and offered nothing to the party except to add a bit of moisture to this sad little steak. For $5 I was expecting a little better. The <strong>Chardonnay</strong> was light, slightly sweet and rather typical. <br /></span><span style="font-size: 120%;"><br /></span></li>

There is more crab than cake in this thing! You get a good sized patty roughly the size of a hockey puck and lightly pan fried on each side. Light, flaky with fresh crab and perfectly seasoned combine to make one of the best crab cakes I've ever had. We also tried the <strong>Pecan Bread Pudding</strong> - this is heavenly decadent! About the size of a piece you'd get at a regular restaurant this is also a great value for the price. If you like bread pudding you have to get this one. I could've finished the entire pan and I'm not a dessert person. And a glass of Blackberry Witbier compliments it perfectly. On the other hand, they should be embarassed by the size of the Lobster Roll for $7. The 6" bun had a filling of "lobster salad" that I don't think would fill up a shot glass.

I'm not sure you could call what I had tuna but more of a dried-out, thick generic white fish. At first I thought that maybe they have to cook it fully for safety reasons but then remembered Japan is selling a dish that is nothing but raw tuna so why can't they cook this correctly? I'm not sure my cat would've liked it (hey, he's picky). When it's cooked properly it's a good but well-done tuna is disgusting. Be sure to ask them to prepare it to your liking or skip it.<br /><br />10-3: We asked if they could undercook our piece of <strong>Seared Albacore Tuna</strong>, and they did with no problem. Even with that, it was still a little more cooked than we normally like - I can't imagine how they were planning on serving them. The Romesco sauce, a thick, orange sauce made from olive oil, garlic, almonds and hazelnuts served chilled, complimented the tuna very nicely. Looking forward to that one again. Also had the <strong>Red &amp; White wines</strong>. White was dry, without any flavors of fruit or oak, a little flat by my standards. Red was smooth, not very dry and easy to drink. We weren't impressed with the wines from Spain last year but this year's red is much better.<br /><span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FSpain_Tuna.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1287335291683',288,432);"><img src="http://www.partythroughtheparks.com/storage/thumbnails/6117383-8997495-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1287335291689" alt="" /></a></span></span></li>

A Cosmopolitan is one of my favorite drinks, and this tasted more like a cherry squishee from 7-11. Not sure why it had such a strong cherry flavor, it was almost like drinking extract. Very disappointed. We also had the <strong>Sparkling Pomegranate Kir</strong> which was a small amount of champagne with a splash of Pomegranate liquor. A very dry champagne, with a hint of berry. Nice, but not really worth the price. <br /><br />10-22: We really want to try the <strong>Parisien Cosmo Slush</strong> to see how it stacks up to it's cousins over at the other drink cart, but this booth always has an ungodly long line every time we're here. I've yet to find a drink worthy of waiting in a 30min+ line - nor will I ever. Event's not over yet though!</span></li>

The <strong>Lobster and Scallop Fisherman's Pie</strong> is a comfort food delight! Creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes with bits and chunks of lobster and scallop mixed throughout. One of the larger portions of food for the price too makes this one of the best deals at the event. I could've easily sat down to 4 bowls and made a dinner of this, but we had more to try. We both had the <strong>Bunratty Honey Meade Wine</strong> which was a deliciously sweet wine with a strong honey flavor. Didn't go well with the pie, but was nice afterwards as a dessert wine. </span></li>

I'm waiting for the year that they simply hand you a spoon. Do yourself (and your wallet) a favor and buy the <em>Cooking with Mickey and the Disney Chefs</em> book and make it at home. It's not difficult, and tastes just like you're in Le Cellier. The <strong>Inniskillin Vidal Icewine</strong> is perfect for the lover of very sweet wines. I recommend saving it until you've finished your food. It's a dessert wine and isn't meant to be paired with foods. Enjoy it </span><span style="font-size: 120%;">as an  after-dinner cordial, </span><span style="font-size: 120%;">the way it's meant to be enjoyed. <strong>Moosehead</strong> is a hoppy lager with a rather bitter aftertaste. <br /></span></li>

This is the smoothest cider I've ever had (and I love ciders). No strong tart or bitter aftertaste. Almost like a good apple juice, but not as sweet with the slightest sour tones. These go down easy and quick in the heat. <br /><br />10-3: We liked last years offerings of large slices of a selection of cheeses better. The <strong>Fondue</strong> was nothing special, a bland white cheddar that started to turn thick &amp; hard towards the end, served with a few tiny potatoes and cubes of bread. The <strong>Charcuterie Plate</strong> is a nice selection of meats for the price (2 good sized slices of each, along with 2 small pieces of bread and 2 little pickles). <em>Here's a fun tip with this plate:</em>&nbsp;we made mini sandwiches! If you do make a mini sandwich, it's in desperate need of some mayo or mustard, which you can find at the neighboring Refreshment Port!</span></li>

<p><span style="font-size: 110%;"><strong>We attended this "Special Experience" on Oct. 9, 2010, and here's our Review:<br /></strong>Long story short, $45 for a couple of cordials (3 1oz. shot glasses (not your standard 1.5oz. shot glass), 1 50ml mini-bottle and a 4oz. mimosa) and a snack over an hour and fifteen minute presentation on the history of Grand Marnier while you sit with strangers at a table for six doesn't cut it. This price range demands a much more comprehensive, high-end experience. This is more than enough for a nice dinner at any of the pavilions' main restaurants; we highly suggest spending your time and money at any of them (even Nine Dragons!) instead. <br /><br />So, after reading the polite PR spiel are you wondering what we really thought? This was the worst, most over-priced liquor related event PTTP has ever had the displeasure of attending. We were upset with value from this amount of liquor in a single $13 HHN specialty drink; how do you think we feel about it for $45?! If you do the math that's $10/shot and $5 for a single crepe. You've been warned - don't waste your money. But for the pseudo-aficionado I'm sure this event still offers some sort of entertainment. If that's you, enjoy. For the real connoisseur, I'll see you in the tequila bar. And no, not the equally over-priced tequila "tasting", the <em>real</em> bar.
