So you’re strolling through the World Showcase in EPCOT, possibly sipping some adult beverages along the way. Which snacks are worth your calories and taste buds as you tour the World? I’ll count down my 5 favorites, though I’m sure I’m forgetting something…
5. French Fries in the American Pavilion
French Fries at American Pavilion - EPCOT
I know, fries may seem a little boring. But I’m very picky about fries, and these are pretty darned good, especially when you’re walking from the direction of Germany with a beer in your hand. They’re hot, crispy, salty, and good dipped in honey mustard. Also good with frozen Coke, which can be had at the American Pavilion. (Like how I got an extra snack in there?)
4. Chocolate/caramel-dipped strawberry from Karamell-Kuche in the German Pavilion

This needs no explanation. Werther’s caramel, milk chocolate, big ripe strawberry.
3. Kaki-Gori with cream, Japan Pavilion
Kaki-Gori, Japan Pavilion, EPCOT
This is one of the most refreshing, delicious things you can eat on a hot Florida day. If you’re from Louisiana or Mississippi, you may recognize this – it’s the closest I’ve had to a snowball outside of Louisiana. The ice is shaved very fine and soft, with delicious, high-quality fruit syrup, with or without cream. Oddly, this is the orange flavor. It’s very red. And very good.
2. School Bread, Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in the Norway Pavilion
School Bread, Kringla Bakeri og Cafe, Norway in EPCOT
Ahhhh….school bread. It has a cult-like following, and with good reason. So what is it? Imagine a raised yeast doughnut with no hole, filled with vanilla pastry cream, and topped with icing and toasted coconut. Perfection in its simplicity.
And MouseChow’s favorite World Showcase snack is…..{drumroll please}…
1. Scotch egg at Rose and Crown Pub, UK Pavilion
Scotch egg, Rose and Crown Pub, UK Pavilion - EPCOT
Wow, my arteries are hardening just thinking about this scrumminess. The Scotch egg is a hard-boiled egg, wrapped in sausage, and deep fried. It’s served with fried bread, mustard sauce, and a small green lightly-dressed salad. The sausage is very nicely spiced, and it’s all a bit salty, greasy, and exactly perfect with a pint of Bass ale.
It sure was hard to narrow this list down to 5! I can think of several I left out that could easily have made it, and I’m sure you can too. So what did I miss? Feel free to discuss while I sit here in the corner with my Scotch egg.

Psst….no Patisserie?
Hah! I knew that would raise some eyebrows. I guess maybe it’s because I haven’t had anything there that stands out as a “must”, that cant be had elsewhere. Though I did include fries on my list…darn it, lists are hard!
What specifically would you recommend from la Patisserie?
Oh I’d recommend all sorts of things if I could spell them! If I made of a list of favorite snacks that were hard to get to- I’d definitely have the patisserie listed first! The line navigation almost makes it one to skip! A skool bread works as a lovely substitute!
Yeah, the line is a pain. Another spot for baked goods with a more reasonable queue is Tangerine Cafe at Morocco. They have a variety of baklava type treats and decent coffee and mint tea.
OMG Love the Scotch Egg….. Wish they would box it up and send it to me at home.
I’d pay for that service!
Mouth watering for sure! Brings back great memories from the parks. 🙂
Thanks, SWS!
