I'd also be tempted to try that goose, with the cranberry, cabbage and potato that sounds like a jammin Thanksgiving sort of meal (though I've never tried goose, is it more like turkey or more like duck?).

Hates practically everything except plain meat, plain potatoes, plain pasta and some plain veggies. Personally, that sounds awfully bland and boring. BUT, I can't give you a hard time cause I'm extremely fish averse and I get crap for it here in the land of sushi practically daily!

Originally Posted By mousermerf My first, and last, experience with lamb and quail was at Epcot.. both made me very sad.. I felt like I had murdered woodland creatures.

This was the Coral Reef btw.. he was determined the clear the tank I think.. and after the third plate and me insisting I just wasn't hungry he finally just let me nibble on a bread. Good non-woodland creature bread. I try not to eat at places with living animals on display anymore, nor order anything which remotely resembles its living self since then either.. that poor quail *sniffles*

If you want an upscale meal at DLR you may be happier with Steakhouse 55, which is (literally) more of a meat and potatoes place.

Originally Posted By mousermerf <<<Do you like other kinds of nuts? If so, how are pine nuts different?>>> Certainly - all kinds of other nuts. Especially warm nuts on planes - those are extra special as any first class pax would tell you. But pine nuts? Those are disgusting. They just taste vile to me.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros "experience with lamb and quail was at Epcot...This was the Coral Reef btw..." Now the real question here, what on earth were you doing ordering lamb and quail at a seafood restuarant? That's just silly!
