We're going to virtually walk around the world showcase promenade, we are going to stop at each booth and determine if there's anything there that we would eat or drink while we're there.

I've got a Mexican craft beer, a Diego pomegranate Margarita. And a fried carrot Margarita, huh? You don't want anything in Mexico? Kelli 1:17 I am. I'm gonna have the taco de chocolate. That is a chocolate candy shell filled with Mexican chocolate mousse with a touch of chili topped with tropical fruit. Yeah, Chris 1:29 I will have two of those please. Kelli 1:30 Yeah, that looks really good. I'm also going to have the Frida carrot Margarita. You know where that name comes from? That's a play off of Frida Kahlo. Chris 1:41 Oh, cute in that cute. Kelli 1:43 I love Frida Kahlo. So I'm going to have her Margarita that is a casa noble Blanco tequila with carrot juice, a ginger cordial lime juice and agave nectar. I think it's gonna be fantastic. It looks beautiful. I Chris 1:54 saw it. Okay, that's beautiful. Yeah, I'm gonna have the chocolate taco thing to. It Looks great. I like chocolate with some with some chili in there. That's always good, but no drinks for you know drinks for me here. Okay. Okay, the next we're moving on to China. No booths in Norway area. The painted panda. Okay, here you're gonna find an old Shanghai shihtzu cheesy to Kelli 2:18 shitzu is a dog. Chris 2:22 Pork and water chestnut meatballs is what that is. Yeah.

And a Sea butterfly going with anything in China. Absolutely. Nothing. Kelli 2:39 I will say though, that the the see thing was the last one. See butterflies, the butterflies beautiful. Chris 2:48 There's lychee flower infused cocktail with like sea serpent vodka. Kelli 2:51 Yeah, I'm against lychee. Yeah. At a very, like, visceral primal level. But yeah, no, it's beautiful. It looks like a purple and white layer drink with real flowers on top. Oh, yeah. Chris 3:06 I'm going with the red hot mala shrimp. Okay, it just looked awesome. It was served in a martini glass refreshment outpost is there is I think it's just gonna stay serving. They're warm butter sugar stuffed, pretzels, which is great for them. As we Kelli 3:22 said we wanted last time we didn't Chris 3:24 know we're gonna move on to cuisine classique in Germany. Here. They've got a red wine braised beef short rib. They've got Cocque au Vin, an opera cake. And a lot of the booths we won't call this out every time a lot of the moves are serving this artists palette jumbo chocolate chip cookie, which is a huge chocolate chip cookie. shaped in the shape of an artist's palette. That looks like it's got big paint swatches on it. Kelli 3:50 I just found it interesting that every booth had that same like a lot of the Chris 3:54 cookie. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So mascot cookie for the event I guess. Okay, so what you go with anything here? Kelli 4:03 I am actually going to have the opera cake. Yeah. Yeah, this is opera cake with Allman Joconde. Got it right coffee buttercream and chocolate ganache. Frankly, I just want to add the opera cake because they made it on Great British baking show. And I just want to see what that tastes like. I'm also going to do their play on rose a flight. Chris 4:24 Okay, have three Kelli 4:24 different rows. And one of them is frozen. Yeah, so I'm going to give that a go. Chris 4:29 Yeah, I was gonna do the opera cake to even though I'm not really much for coffee flavored things. And I'm going to do the Cocque au Vin, which is their Chicken roulade with violet mustard, candied carrots, pen cheddar crisp marble potatoes, and Beure rouge sauce. It was beautiful. Yeah, it's gorgeous, gorgeous. Anything they roll up. I'm for chicken roll up. All right, moving on to Italy who I'll be honest, is just perpetually a disappointment at these festivals Italy should be able to do so much better than they do. Kelli 5:09 I was very disappointed. Chris 5:10 Yeah, I've got nothing there. They they are serving an arancini which is a sweet sausage fried risotto ball, Langostini which is a lobster ravioli and a Bumbuloni, which is a cream filled Italian donut and raspberry sauce with powdered sugar. I actually did choose that. I was going just by reading it. I was going to go with the sweet sausage Rosetta ball. And then I saw a picture of it and I'm like, man, it was just gonna disappoint me again. But those little donut balls, I'm gonna give them a shot. They looked almost Kelli 5:41 exactly what Morocco had in over the holidays. Sure, and I was like, again, I thought Italy could do better. I didn't even pick any of their beverages, right. They have a lot of wines. proseccos. Moscato sangrias. Yeah, Chris 5:56 but others. So here's the thing. I'm doing a virtual tour. I really haven't had any of that yet. So I did go with the amoretto billini, which is white. That was Unknown Speaker 6:05 ready. Yeah, that was pretty good. Okay. Chris 6:09 Okay, of course you will. Okay, next, the American adventure. The artists table. I thought they did a really good job here. They're offering a Beef Wellington, a pan seared scallop with chorizo and the artists palette cookie. They got something there in the beverages, though. I think we're both gonna go for Kelli 6:26 I'm going to go for the symphony and chocolate flight, which is Mozart cream, the course paired with sipping chocolate. So they've got the sipping chocolate flight and non alcoholic version, which is white milk and dark chocolate. You just drink? Oh, yes, I mean, but I'm gonna have the symphony and chocolate which adds in your cream liqueur. Yeah, Chris 6:49 and each cream liqueur matches three different cream liquid Kelli 6:52 love. Chris 6:53 I've got but I've got literally the non alcoholic and the alcoholic version selected, both of them just due to alcohol. And I'm gonna have that with the Beef Wellington, which comes with a mushroom duxelle I don't know if I'm saying that right procuitto and a puff pastry with a red wine Demi glaze. You serve Kelli 7:11 fennel cream. Chris 7:12 Yeah, you serve. Frankly with me though. You serve beef inside of a puff pastry and I'm sold every day all day. See them? Yep, for sure. Okay, goshiki, which is in Japan. They've got some called stone garden, which is a red bean mousse with chocolate rocks. That sounds cool. A sushi doughnut, which is a doughnut shaped sushi featuring shrimp. It was pretty It was really gorgeous. It was gorgeous. And then a vegetable filled spinach Giza with tofu. And then I've got some Haiku draft lager, and sake is available as beverages. I didn't Kelli 7:50 have anything in Japan. I actually have two things in Japan. So first of all that stone garden that you just you know, it's meant to look like a Zen Garden, you know whether sand Zen gardens and so it comes looking like that. Like they give you a little flat ball that looks like a Zen like a bowl of sand. That's their rice. Chris 8:09 cracker pebbles. Kelli 8:10 No, no, no, no, no, that's the that's the red bean mousse. With like a white topping. It looks like the sand. Okay, but underneath that's the red bean mousse. Then they give you a little plastic cup with the chocolate rocks and the rice cracker pebbles and you put them in there and like make your own little zen sand garden and then eat it. That is totes adorbs and I want to do that so bad. Chris 8:37 It's like an activity. Kelli 8:39 Artist activity, which is the whole point. I think that totes adorbs and I want it. I'm also going to have the pink snow beverage which is Saki peach snobs. Cranberry juice, kalpa code dusted with snowflake confetti. Chris 8:53 Sounds great. Kelli 8:54 I mean, that is just a catastrophe. But what I will say about the Saki in the traditional personalized wooden cup, you sort of brushed over that. It's a really pretty wooden cup that they write your name on in Japanese. Oh, that's nice. It's personalized. It's a personalized wooden cup. With your name and Japanese totally rushed this booth decided I'm so excited about it. Chris 9:22 You are but you love something extra and free. You got the free. Nothing free. You got the free activity with you with your food and you got your free name on a wooden cup. Kelli 9:33 I love Zen Garden. I love a good Zen Garden. I don't own one. I should own one and love a good zen garden. Chris 9:39 Why not have one that you can eat? Amen. Kelli 9:42 Amen. Chris 9:44 All right, so moving on to Morocco. Okay, the mosaic canteen. I didn't do anything here either. They got a Mediterranean flatbread with pesto and artichokes, roasted peppers, her risotto roasted rack of lamb with Baba Ganoush and There's a I don't know, orange cake. I'm not even gonna misquote you. I think I said that right? Machu Kelli 10:10 Picchu. But whatever. That's cool. Chris 10:12 It's an orange cake with cinnamon chocolate mousse. And then they've got a couple of they've got a blackberry hard cider and a dark amber lager there. I didn't get anything here. Kelli 10:22 I got the moose kichu miska Chris 10:24 I'll bet you did I bet you and Epcot they do call it the mouse kutchi Why wouldn't you Kelli 10:28 think they should, but the orange cake with a cinnamon chocolate mousse actually gorgeous. This was a beautiful little dessert. And it looked to me to be reminiscent of orange bird. And I gotta say, I really bought into the bird I bought into the Orange bird over the holidays, um, for him. And so this reminded me a little bit of that and so I thought that would be good. But I am for orange and chocolate, Chris 10:51 you know? For sure, Kelli 10:52 yes. For that combo. So I saw that and I was like, I'm gonna support you Morocco. Chris 10:57 Okay, so between Morocco and France, they've got a new booth called the Vivante and Vivido Kelli 11:02 Yes. And it's beautiful. Basically, this is where they put the La Chaim booth. Yes. Right. Or Hanukkah? Yes. And I think they had the Brazil booth there. Chris 11:14 They did. Yes. Kelli 11:14 When we Were there in July or August. Yes. And so it's not a new booth. It's a new menu menu. I'll say the booth looks much more La CHaim or Greek. Chris 11:25 Well, they're serving Latin flavors here. Kelli 11:27 Yeah. Okay. It's beautiful. What they're serving is gorgeous. Yeah. Chris 11:31 So they've got a chilled seafood cocktail with octopus scallops, shrimp and garlic aioli looked amazing. blue corn pupusa Yes. A passion fruit mouse and dragon fruit jam. And then they've got a coconut and passionfruit smoothie, pina colada and a free Daiquiri. passionfruit Daiquiri. So anything here Kelli 11:54 I'm going to get that passion fruit mousse with the dragon fruit jam. If you've seen any pictures on the socials of the this festival, the arts that's what you're seeing, because it's so brightly colored. In this thing. Everything at this booth is like BAM in your face colorful like bright yellows, bright purples, bright pinks that moves with the dragon fruit jam is gorgeous. It's so bright, has like a mirror glaze on it. So good. And then I think it has a white chocolate mask. You know, like the drama mask that you see like the little icon. So you see one of those on the plate. It doesn't say that it's white chocolate, but I assume that it is because it's like painted okay. No, so I want that just because it's so instagrammable Chris 12:43 Oh, well. I'm gonna go with the blue corn potatoes stuffed with cheese and topped with shredded pork. Well, he arbol chili sauce. Cabbage slaw and aji amarillo cream. Yeah, we love it. Kelli 12:57 Yeah, I was really interested in that one until they smothered in shredded pork shredded Unknown Speaker 13:02 pork, man. Kelli 13:03 I mean, who doesn't want something stuffed with cheese but I wasn't really feeling the shredded pork. He stuffed Chris 13:09 something with cheese and throw some pork on top of it and you might as well just read the dinner bell for me.
