I can’t even begin to tell you how good everything in the top 10 was! This festival is the perfect way to try delicious foods from all over the word. My husband and I prefer to split every dish, so that we are able to try everything we had on our list. Let me know what you would like to try in the comments!
It all looks so good!!!
Greek nachos, lamb, carrot cake, and the Indian bread – with the Original Sin cider. In other words, I’d be ALL over the place, lol.
I’m excited to go down in a few weeks. Cool to see the empanada on this list, looking forward to trying it this year, it’s honestly never wowed me, but if you loved it, they must’ve changed up the recipe! Also surprised not to see the spinach and cheese pocket from Africa on here. Hoping it’s still there — it was to die for last year!
We had the Empanada last year and didn’t really care for it. This year it was great! I am not sure if they changed the recipe, or if we just got a fresh batch:)
I didn’t get the chance to try that one! It sounds great!
Good to hear that we weren’t the only ones who weren’t too fond of the empanada last year, but now I can’t wait to try it in 3 weeks!!
