I mean how can you not love all the gorgeous topiaries, the beautify gardens, the fun concerts, the edutainment of the seminars, and yes, of course, the food.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see what the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is like, take a look at this preview from last year&#8217;s festivities.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2015 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival Preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hqQ6ZG4rORs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, of course, this if Foodie Friday, so I&#8217;m going to share with you which new food items I&#8217;m most excited to try courtesy of this year&#8217;s Outdoor Kitchens. (And trust me, there are a lot of new dishes at this year&#8217;s festival!) For a list of the menus, make sure to visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/walt-disney-world\/planning\/events\/flower-and-garden-festival\/menus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">menu <\/a>page.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chicken Fricassee with Green Asparagus and Peas served with Uncle Ben\u2019s Rice Pilaf &#8211; This dish from the Bauernmarkt: Farmer\u2019s Market\u00a0 near Germany sounds like it could be a meal, not a small snack! But I&#8217;m telling you, it sounds incredible.<\/li>\n<li>Warm Chocolate Cake with Bourbon-Salted Caramel Sauce and Spiced Pecans &#8211; The Smokehouse at the American Adventure&#8230;they know what&#8217;s up. They&#8217;ve wowed me with the Beef Brisket Burnt Ends Hash and the Pulled Pig Slider before, but this is my number one must do! Holy cow! (Disney&#8230;seriously&#8230;can you just please change the Liberty Inn into a restaurant just serving these type items?)<\/li>\n<li>Beef Teriyaki Udon &#8211; From the Hanami Booth near Japan sounds yummy. It features Thin-sliced Beef, Onions and Noodles tossed on the grill with Soy and Ginger. I&#8217;ve tried the Fruishi (fruit sushi) before, now let&#8217;s try something more savory.<\/li>\n<li>Tarte \u00e0 l\u2019Onion Alsacienne &#8211; The Fleur de Lys booth offers this treat this year. It&#8217;s an Alsatian Onion Tart with Saut\u00e9ed Onions, Fresh Thyme and Rosemary on a Flaky Puff Pastry Crust and it has me curious.<\/li>\n<li>Seared Pork Tenderloin with Mushroom Rago\u00fbt, Spring Vegetables and Marble Potatoes &#8211; the Urban Farm Eats booth near the Imagination Walkway always serves up intriguing and unique dishes and this one sounds pretty tasty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Honorable Mention 1: Shrimp and Stone-Ground Grits from the Florida Fresh booth. This features andouille sausage, sweet corn, tomatoes and cilantro and it was a favorite of both mine and my husband&#8217;s last year.<\/p>\n<p>Honorable Mention 2: Beijing-style Candied Strawberries from Lotus House near the China Pavilion. Seriously, these things are my jam. They are coated in a hard sugar coating that&#8217;s mixed with sesame seeds making for the sweetest, juiciest strawberries I&#8217;ve ever eaten. This is a must do during the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ok&#8230;now I&#8217;m here&#8230;you have to tell me&#8230;what should I try?
