Regal Eagle Smokehouse

As the American Adventure is about to see the opening of its new fast-casual restaurant so we take a look at some of the offerings that will make up the new menu at this EPCOT eatery.

There will be a variety of sandwiches and platters as well as a plant-based option. Some notable mentions go to the Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich and the South Caroline Smoked Sausage Sandwich.

Other offerings include a Kansas City Smoked Chicken, a lighter option of a Power Greens Salad with Pulled Chicken as well as a plant-based burger topped with jackfruit and served on vegan garlic toast.

Plus, there are plenty of sides, desserts and a variety of beers and cider which will all go to making this a much-needed reimagining of the old Liberty Inn.

EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

One tasty offering that is part of Epcot International Festival of the Holidays is the Festive Kitchens. We had a a wander through the menus and suggested what we would purchase for each other.

Michelle's Choices
American Holiday Table - Slow-Roasted Turkey with Stuffing, Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans and Cranberry Sauce.

Bavaria Holiday Kitchen - Black Forest Roulade with Cherry Whipped Cream.

Shanghai Holiday Kitchen - Firework: Jose Cuervo Tequila Gold, Vodka, Mango Syrup, Orange Juice, and Soda Water.

But a close runner-up would be from Le Marche de Noel Holiday Kitchen - Frozen Hot Chocolate Martini: Grey Goose Vanilla Vodka and Chocolate Milk.

Jayne's Choices
Tuscany Holiday Kitchen - Crespelle di Mele: Cinnamon Apple Fritters and a Vanilla Sauce Drizzle with Confectioners Sugar.

And an honorary mention goes to Panettone Mignon: Miniature Traditional Italian Christmas Fruitcake.

Yukon Holiday Kitchen - Seared Verlasso Salmon with Crown Maple Whisky Glaze, Parsnip Silk, Apple Chutney and Hazelnut Croquant.
 

Something both girls picked was the Maple Bûche de Noël: Maple Mousse rolled in Gingerbread Chiffon Cake with Cranberry Sauce and Pecan Crumble.

Sapphire Holiday Kitchen - Sfenj: Warm Beignets, Cream with Cinnamon Sugar, and Chocolate Sauce.

Cookie Trail

Whilst EPCOT is starting its cookie trail, we decided to put a twist on this by demanding a traditional biscuit for each of the EPCOT countries. So, as we are British, we offer our list of the best British biscuits. 

So here are a few from our list, you will have to listen in to see if your favourite made our list:

• Digestive - half coated with dark chocolate (of course)
• Jaffa Cakes - cake or biscuit?
• Custard Cream
• Ginger Nut
