Food & Wine Festival -- 2012 -- Epcot

*This is a map and updated list from the 2012 Food & Wine Festival at Epcot for their gluten free offerings. They do not list other allergens, so it's always important to double-check when at the booths. List valid as of September 29, 2012

 

 I will be adding pictures and updates as I get them. If you know of any information, feel free to send it to: gfdf.wdw@gmail.comI also checked with Guest Relations and they stated as of October 1, 2012 they do not have a map or master list of GF items, but rather to ask at the booth for a chef. A PDF with full listings are available by clicking this link: Gluten Free Booths Food & Wine Festival 2012

BOOTH: Florida Local

Culinary Offerings:

• White Corn Arepa with Mangalitsa Pork Rillette and Zellwood Sweet Corn Salad – $4.00
• Florida Shrimp Ceviche with Fire Roasted Vegetables, Fried Plantains and Cilantro – $4.25

Both of these items were listed as gluten free on the Disney list. I admit, I gambled with the dairy on this one and did not ask for the binder. Ceviche would never have dairy in it, but the arepa might. I didn't have a reaction from the dairy, but if you have a dairy allergy, I would check the ingredients before you consume it.

First up is the Arepa. This was delicious. Very moist and flavorful with the corn. It was also definitely gluten free, as it was very dense. The pork was also really mild but held up well with the Arepa. The corn was also very good. Super sweet and tasty; however, I did not each much of the corn because of my Crohn's disease. 

 

Then we went on to the shrimp ceviche. Spicy! It was very different from many of the ceviches I've had in the past--usually they are less tomato-based. This was almost salsa like which was an interesting twist on things. If you like spicy food, this is a good one for you!

Overall, both had decent size portions for the price and both were really good. I'll be heading back to this booth again! Here is a recipe for the Ceviche from the Florida Local booth found in the 2012 F&W Festival cookbook on sale at Epcot.
