Touring Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival; part 3
Today we walk around the World Showcase Promenade and show you some of the more elaborate displays set up for the countries of the Food and Wine Festival.
An old favorite, especially of the wine lovers, is the Australia area setup over by the Japan Pavilion. It includes the predictable Shrimp on the Barbie, and a great selection of the country’s wine. There’s also a gift shop with some aboriginal art and souvenirs from down under.
Located just off the German Pavilion is a fairly large display dedicated to the country of Turkey. They have, in addition to food and drink, what seems to be a photo opportunity. There is also a “Grand Bazaar”, which sells exactly what one would expect to see at such a place.
Finally we have an area that is new to this year, dedicated to the state of Oklahoma. The food includes seared buffalo, and I did find it a bit strange that they put a nice artistic tribute to the buffalo right next to the place to eat it.
Oklahoma uses a potpourri of theme, including Native American and the traditional American Diner, called the Rose Rock. They also sell some interesting western and Native American pieces.
The festival closes today, so tomorrow will be our last stop on the tour.
