Let's go "eat around the world"

This makes me think of the WDW Today podcast. They have done a few of these that they record - it is so funny! But they make it you can eat or drink, just something at each country.

You should definitely get some Kakigori (shaved ice) in Japan. Great for a trip around the world because it's yummy and doesn't fill you up!

Very interesting...Its sound foodie trip!

Mexico and Italy are my places where I always get great variety of delectable food. I would like to know your favorite Mexican and Italian food restaurants.

Best Regards,

Here's one to consider for your next trip around the world. Canada actually does have an offering that's good for this. You can get the soup and breadstick to go:

Oh no!! What was The Dave's bratwurst experience?!?!? Do tell!!

Japan also has some fun light options in the shops, like gummi candies or Pocky.

LOL Im a "drink around the world" kinda gal...but you betcha Ill get in that long line and get some fish n chips and a Bass. Then onto France for a Grey Goose Slushie (or Grand Marnier Orange slushie...ok maybe BOTH!) but I have to stop at Boulangerie Patisserie for some Creme Brulee and cheesecake and about 3 other desserts...oh France Pavillion how I miss you! Then onto Morrocco for some Mint Ice tea (or warm if its chilly out!) Then I gotta jump into Mitsukoshi...jump? who am I kidding. Im pretty sure Ive lost DAYS in there not to mention a paycheck or 5! I gotta have my Japanese candy! Then on to American adventure to see the Voice of Liberty! I usually find one of my Disney Friends there! Then Italy....ummm I dont get any food or drink in Italy cause I get sucked into the perfume store there. So there isnt usually any money left for food or dink in Italy when I get done I dont think Ive ever really stopped in Germany for very long...guess thatll be a must do for next time! China...oh China (wait isnt that Oh Canada?) I HAVE to get egg rolls too! Then onto Norway...the only thing I get in Norway is the Eye Candy And then the BEST for last MEXICO!!!! Tequilla bar? Check! Mango Margarita and Nacho's while watching Illuminations

They have these peachy gummy candis that are OMG DELISH! and some Honeydew mellon hard candy's that are VERY coveted at my house...and then the light blue pepermint hard candies! The kids like the gummy sushi candies just cause they are fun! Yea I end up blowing about 50-60 bucks on candy in Japan!

I like the fast food gummies that are shaped like burgers and hot dogs and stuff. Do they taste any different than other gummies? Probably not, but I still think they're fun!

I'm pretty sure we can ;D

PsychoAlice and Bella, thanks for the tips! I've bought sake in the Japanese store...and purses...but never the candy! I'm weirded out that I can't read what it says, but I'll have to take the plunge next time.

Yeah, don't get confused and accidentally buy shrimp chips instead.

or those rice/seasame bits with seaweed...the dogs loved em I can tell you that!

We LOVE shopping in Japan. DW spent part of her childhood there, so has some favorite treats. I have been very pleased with my candy 'risks' there. Even when it didn't know what the heck it was, it was pretty darn good. We make it a point to stick to things we can't get at local stores though.

p.s. I too am a gummi-holic.

Japanese candy is always the best, but for me I'm a Pocky fanatic, the little biscuit sticks covered in chocolate. Also love Ramune, the soda with the marble in it. There's a Japanese maketplace in Illinois, so shopping Japan almost reminded us of home.

Funny, both of those are favorites of DW (from her childhood in Japan) so we had to get them. I had enjoyed Pocky sticks plenty of times before that, but they have some flavors there you may have a hard time finding elsewhere. The soda was yummy and kinda fun.

Is the marble candy or what?

You're welcome to suck on it, but I wouldn't recommend biting it...it's glass.

Apparently kids often remove and keep the marble.

I've never noticed that soda before so pardon my ignorance but isn't the marble in it a "choking hazard" ??

I LOVE pocky!! There are so many different kinds available, too!

No, it's design is such that the marble can go in but not come out. It has been that way since the inception of that cap in the late 1800's, as it is designed to be (and surprisingly, works well as) a stopper. The pressure inside the bottle, from the carbonation, forces the marble up into the mouth of the bottle where it is held firmly in place until the person who's about to enjoy the drink dislodges it.

OM NOM NOM!

Don't forget my favorite:

Men's Pocky! Sorry ladies this Pocky is just a little too many for you!

LOL
"...for the intelligent connoisseur who enjoys the finer points in life."

I had no idea there was DISNEY pocky -- I wonder what the flavor is on those boxes with Mickey and Minnie on them!!

DH and I do the same...my favorite is the Mango Gummy candy and his is the Rice Candy! We never get out of World Showcase without a stop in Japan. I'm slowly purchasing a set of dishes...have a place setting for two, I'm now working on serving pieces!! Oh and I LOVE Hello Kitty....I think a lunchbox is on the list this next trip!!
