New happenings of today: Lightning closes the F&W Festival until they decide it's safe to have people on the World Showcase again. It was closed for two hours today*grump* during what we planned to be lunch. Thank goodness for premium areas who can get all our food for us, and for CMs who get a little confused and end up doubling up on the running, resulting in an extra lamb chop from Australia and a piece of salmon from Patagonia. Thanks!
QS credit worked fine - but do everyone a favour and do only three items per transaction if that's the case. The poor CMs are a little flustered by it, and one credit is far easier to redeem than two. It took three CMs to do my six-item order today, from four different booths. And that was just the QS part. I also had a premium redemption and a cash purchase. Whee!!!
Lamb chop was great. So were the other three.
Venison loin was beyond marvelous. I want about six more.
Empanada was wonderful
The guava margarita was wonderful
Dominican Republic's sugar cane drink... OMG. Amazing.
Salmons were good. Yup on the arugula chimichurri
The chicken in Mexico was good, but not mind blowing, says hubby.
Worth mentioning is that I make baklava at home. It's crispy and has a nice crispy but sticky top and it's quite good. I have no clue if it's authentic or not. This baklava was a little underwhelming compared to the rich flavours I put in mine. That said, it may be authentic and I just make a bastardized version that disappears as quickly as I can get it into cupcake wrappers.
And we made the poor life choice of getting a pretzel at the beer and pretzel cart outside Germany. Don't do that. It's a bad idea. It was hard and tasted... not so ideal.
We also did the Verlasso salmon culinary demonstration wtih Bushman. The male presenter we had was really good. I liked him a lot and he really worked well with Bushman. The salmon was great and the spicy coconut sauce was quite good. Meh on the bok choy.
We're off to MK for the evening because it's open until one. Only time will tell if we make it that late.
