Food is my drug PART 1

So for those who know me, it's no secret that I love my food. I love trying new kinds of food especially. When the bf and I went to Florida last October, the Epcot Food and Wine Festival was on so we had a blast trying different foods from around the world. We went three different days to squeeze in as much food as possible so here is what we ate and drank on the first day:

Canada

Maple and Moosehead Beer-glazed Salmon with Barley Salad.

The first dish we tried. Rather tasty!

Ireland

Lobster and Scallop Fisherman's Pie

Incredible!

France

Parisian Cosmo Slush

Very nice and rather refreshing. I may have spilled some.

Still France

Escargots Persillade en Brioche. (Snails and bread :P)

Not so bad if you pretend they're not snails - something the bf forgot to do!

Portugal

Calamari Salad with Fennel, Smoked Paprika and Olive Oil

We may have tucked in before I remembered to take a picture! That's how good it was! Wish there was more of it.

Portugal again

Pastel de Nata

Though it looked very different to the many I consumed while in Portugal last June, it still tasted delicious. My dad especially was obsessed with these and my bf now is as well. 

Morocco

Baklava (sweet pastry with nuts)

I love these. Must go to the curry mile in Manchester to track down some.

Morocco still

Kefta pocket (seasoned beef in a pitta)

This beef was so delicious! The bf says this was his fav.

New Zealand

Lamb Slider with Tomato Chutney

Now this was my favourite. I love lamb, I love chutney. Perfection. 

Luckily (or unluckily), all the portions are small and since the two of us shared everything - it was all very manageable. Though I am glad we split it over three days. 

Stay tuned for day two. Will bring it to you sometime next week. 

Don't forget to enter the Random Quirks birthday giveaway. Closes at noon (UK time) on Saturday 9th.
