It was "grilled" like a steak served w/the grill marks. It was something I always wanted to try at home if I had a panini grill. So does anybody else open a menu and feel disappointed because one of your favorites is gone???

I asked about it last time we ate at Blue Bayou and was told that it was only offered during a special Haunted Mansion celebration. I was also informed that it was a favorite. BRING BACK THE SWEET POTATO CAKE, THINGY !!!! Oh and I don't know if this counts, but the fact that Fantasia ice cream is no longer offered at the ice cream shop on Main Street is destroying me. And I'm sure Shiva would agree

Originally Posted By ABBY Fantasia ice cream was Cherry, Pistachio and Banana and bits of candied pineapple. It was so yummy. You either loved it or hated it. I am definitely in the "love it" group. It was discontinued several years ago. I can't remember exactly why.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb It was made by Carnation exclusively for Disney and I guess Disney figured the extra expense combined with total sales didn't equal enough profit. As someone who hates banana flavored anything, I'm quite sure I'd be in the "hate it" group. I still morn the loss of another product (or service) that makes a Disney trip special.

Originally Posted By ImTempest I miss the multi-colored rock candy they used to have at the candy store on Main Street. They only sell clear now.

I know there is no difference in taste between the colored rocks and the clear, but the rainbow rock candy was part of my childhood, and I really miss it.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Yeah I miss the little clear boxes with the castle printed on them with different candies in them that they used to sell at the candy store. That was maybe 10 years ago, though. I miss the chicken strips at the Golden Horseshoe as well. The nuggets are just NOT the same. Since I'm not a fan of the new sandwiches at the Riverbelle Terrace, I miss the old ones. :-(
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 FANTASIA ICE CREAM Crab cakes at RainForest Cafe. I'd been thinking about them for months, a true disappointment for me when I opened up the menu and they were gone. Slightly off topic but the breakfast at River Belle just doesn't taste the same on fake plates with plastic forks.
Originally Posted By cinderella143also ^^^I totally agree about the yummy crab cakes and the fake plates and plastic forks! It really doesn't taste the same at the River Belle. And Rainforest-please bring back the crab cakes!!!

Unfortunately by then they were gone and all they had were plain, dry, Mickey shaped cookies
