Epcot Food & Wine Festival 2013: Belgium and France

Morocco and New Zealand were another two we had to, unfortunately, skip (though I was hoping to have time to try some of that Baklava at Morocco...).

So for the next two, we had them at the same time, and I took their photo together: Belgium and France

Belgium is a more recent addition to the festival. It was introduced in 2010. I wish it had been there longer because these waffles are excellent. I would have loved them when I was younger and visiting. France, on the other hand, has been here since 1996. I have actually never tried anything from this kiosk, though, which I find surprising because I love creme brulee! 

Belgian Waffle with Driscoll's Berry Compote & Whipped Cream (Belgium)

Créme Brûlée au Chocolat au Lait (France)

Sparkling Pomegranate Kir (France)

 We were really looking forward to trying the Belgian waffle and the pomegranate kir. We actually had that one several times cause it was very delicious.

This was the first one we had and I realized I hadn't snapped a picture when I was halfway through it! But anyway, the waffle was excellent. We had it the last night and I wish we had eaten one every single day. The berries were an excellent addition. I also really loved the creme brulee. It had a wonderful flavor and texture. I LOVE the caramelized sugar on top. And of course, the pomegranate kir was phenomenal. I'm a huge pomegranate fan so this was a definite yes for me!
