Cal eats his way around the world, or the Cal Colon Report

In terms of food, probably yeah.

So, 15 booths in how many days? 

Over three days, basically.  Today I finished up but left Epcot because it actually got windy and cold.

Ireland and New Zealand get their own booths .But Africa? That's just one country right?

I was going to make a Sarah Palin joke earlier when I was writing that post, but I knew you wouldn't get it.

Mart, what is Okocim OK?  They had that at the Poland booth but I didn't know what it was so I didn't get it.  I'm guessing it was some sort of booze.  They also had a drink called 'frozen Szarlotka' and I didn't know what that was either.

Puree of Jew.

Google is telling me that a Szarlotka is a cake.

Supplies ran out by 1944.

Last night I ate like 15-20 teriyaki spare ribs.

This Hawaiian dude on stage ate fire, though.  That was pretty cool.

RUNNER UP:  Puerto Rico

Another of the larger booths with a large dedicated dining area.  Here we had outstanding tostones with what tasted like fry sauce, and I think we also got a rum cocktail but I can't rememer for sure.    I've also heard rumors of a permanent Puerto Rico exhibit going in at Epcot, which seems pretty weird to me since it ain't a country, but since Puerto Rico is awesome I'd be ok with that if it happened, especially if it sort of represented the Caribbean as a whole.

A permanent Epcot Puerto Rico kind of funny given the large number of Puerto Ricans living metro Orlando.  You don't need to spend a fortune to go to Disneyfied Puerto Rico, you can just stop by a roadside stand and find the real thing.

I'm glad you had a good time in the sunshine state.

That Puerto Rican street gang give you any trouble?

On another forum people were discussing the possibility of a Puerto Rican pavilion and someone objected because it would attract a 'criminal element' to Epcot.   Yeah, and the Italy pavilion is controlled by the Mafia.

It would sure be entertaining if it was.
