Vacation and Pork Belly

From my balcony of the Grand Floridian, DisneyWorld … an absolutely fabulous vacation. You might be thinking rides, and yep, I did rides but this was a vacation of great food too. We were lucky enough to stay on the concierge floor, meaning we had all day long access to food & drinks. Many of the taste treats were prepared in the kitchens of the Grand Floridian’s five star restaurants. But we didn’t just eat here.

Every night of our 8 day stay was a grand new food experience. If you’re into breads, we had every imaginable type of bread from Brazilian Cheese Bread (Pan de Queijo), Jiko’s flatbreads, Tiffin’s breads with sauces, yeasty breads to homestyle biscuits. So much food! Our first night was an Irish food experience. My Shepherd’s Pie recipe holds up competitively. Actually, their Shepherd’s Pie and mine are correctly called Cottage Pie, beef used instead of lamb. I even have a chicken version. Every night we consumed fantastic food, steaks, pork belly, fish, vegetarian, while being entertained by the beautiful views and firework displays that exceeded any I had ever seen before. It was all meticulously planned in advanced with perfect timing. Thank you Will for the perfect vacay!

What about the pork belly? This was a favorite dish in many DisneyWorld restaurants. Look for a recipe of Pork Belly soon along with the Brazilian Cheese Bread! In the meantime, enjoy my take on Irish and British foods.
