Epcot Food & Wine Festival 2013: Hops & Barley

We had to skip both Italy and the American Adventure Coffee Cart due to limited time and stomach space. I guess I'll just have to go back and try them another year. Ohhh darn.

That means, the next one in line that we tried: Hops & Barley.

Hops & Barley was introduced to the festival in 2005. I've never been, but the food we got this time was a sure treat!

Craisin Bread Pudding with Grand Marnier Anglaise

I like bread pudding. A lot of members of my family do not. Lucky for me, my mom likes it too. This was probably one of the best bread puddings I've had. I think the grand marnier glaze was really the icing on the cake, so to speak. It was incredible. My mom and I got to sit on a shaded bench (probably like the only time that happened) and we people-watched while we munched on this delicious treat. It was nice and cool and a good, relaxing fifteen minutes.
