Anyone who's been there this year - which booths did you like best?

Re: Epcot tomorrow - yayyy!!
Oh fun! I've been three times this year. : ) My favorites are
Canada- cheese soup
Greece- Spanikopita (spinach pastry)
France- Goat cheese quiche or choc. crembrola (not sure of spelling, lol)
Australia wine walkabout is fun!
Chili- good wine! Beef Empanada ( I think it's in chili)
America- crab cake..yum!
Have fun!!!!!
This list is going to look kind of sad, but I love to eat and we went several times. Here were some of my favs:
Bolonga, Italy: Baked Ziti, Mascarpone Cream Puff with Gianduja Chocolate
Boston: Crab cake was pretty good
Argentina: Beef & Corn Casserole (this was my favorite thing and the biggest portion!), Grilled Beef with Chimichurri
South Africa: Durban Spiced Chicken (this was pretty good)
Poland: Creamy Wild Mushroom Soup, Keilbasa with Potato Pierogies--both of these were awesome!
Canada: Cheddar Cheese Soup, Maple Glazed Salmon, Maple Custard with Almond Crumble--all of it was great!
San Francisco: Seared Beef Medallion with Cheese Polenta--DH loved this
China: Pork Pot Stickers--I'd pass on these
India: Shrimp with Red Curry over Rice--very good, moderately spicy
New Zealand: Bay Scallops with Baby Greens and Vinaigrette (Very good and portion was big), I'd pass on the Kiwi Tart
Unfortunately, samples are not included in the price of admission. Budget yourself and be prepared to spend at least $50-100 for two adults. It adds up fast!
The salmon at Canada is always one of my favorites every single year.
A few years ago they had a chocolate dessert stand with a flourless cake that was to die for. I'm so disappointed that it didn't become a regular feature!
We tried a lot of stuff, and everything was pretty good, but here are the ones we thought were standouts:
India - Shrimp (I think it was tandoori style?)
America - Lobster Roll (and the Sam Adams beer tasting was well-done and enjoyable too)
Cheese stand (not sure what country it was supposed to be) - Three cheese sampler and prosecco
France - escargot (although as my DH likes to point out, any dish involving that much butter is almost guaranteed to taste good. LOL)
Have fun!
