Each E.P.C.O.T festival tries to incentivize Guests to try their booths' foods by offering a redemption prize. This prize is usually an unique food item. You can only earn this prize from collecting 5 stamps which you earn by buying specific foods. I participated in the Food and Wine's version this year and was excited about the food listed as Colorful Cuisine. So without further a do here is my reviews for the walk of colorful cuisine:
1.) Chorizo and Potato Empanada 8.7/10 ⭐s.
So warm actually?!! (Warm is rare for festival food). Took a bit to get to the filling but I liked the level of spice. The crust and aioli was quite good. Overall a solid festival food and good first ever empanada!
2). Pop-Eats! Grilled cheese and Tomato soup 7/10⭐s.
Such cute presentation! I used to highly dislike tomato soup now I think its decent. It was a pretty solid grilled cheese and tomato soup was okay. Nothing mind-blowing.
3.) Blueberry Filled Pastry Tart 6.9/10 ⭐s.
Was initially very scared this was going to be like a poptart (BLEH) but it's more like a decent sugar cookie.
4.) Canada Roasted Beets 6.6/10 ⭐s.
Goat cheese is the strongest flavor which is a good thing. I didn't like beets in the past but this time they just tasted...cold? Very refreshing and dish actually tasted 'healthy' which is a nice change from typical Disney food.
5.) Deconstructed Key lime pie 6.4/10 ⭐s.
Was pretty good, at first. Had a strong bitter aftertaste. The presentation was very cute. Reminds me of the Inside-Out scene, you know the one lol!
The Prize! 7.5/10 ⭐s.
An adorable DOUBLE whammy receiving an artist palette sugar cookie AND a frozen drink in a souvenir cup! The slush is quite yummy with a sweet agave taste. Tried the cookie 2 weeks later lol. Was completely crumbled (my B) and tasted like a basic batch made sugar cookie with hard icing but okay overall.
Craving some more Festival of the Arts foods? Don't worry, I got you with these foods and drinks below!
Figment's Inspiration Station at the Odyssey was home to the famous popcorn bucket. Which, as a Figment STAN I needed to get. Also at the station was rainbow cake and a grape smoothie, both sponsored by freeze-dried skittles.
Rainbow cake 8.7/10 ⭐s- If I could taste the rainbow this would be it (afterall sponsored by skittles lol). Very moist and delicious.
Grape Smoothie 8.5/10 ⭐s- VERY artificial grape flavor, but I sorta like it. Also has taste and texture of whip cream dispersed throughout. Super cute souvenir cup.
Thanks for reading! As a gift from me to you here is footage of Alix cheesin' literally!🧀🤣
