Epcot’s Mexico

Mexico is a permanent pavilion in Epcot’s world showcase. Most people use Mexico as a meeting place for loved ones because the pyramid is very easy to see. Also, Mexico is the first country of Epcot’s World Showcase if you go to the left of the International gateway. 

Since Mexico is a permanent fixture in Epcot, the food for Epcot’s festivals have to be amazing. Mexico does not disappoint when comes to the flavors!

2014 Food and Wine Festival

I do have a few recipes from the 2014 Food and Wine Festival, like Nueske’s® Pepper Bacon Hash {Food and Wine Festival 2014}. 2014, Epcot’s food and wine menu are really stood out. What was the 2014 food and wine festival menu for Mexico that year? It took some digging but I located the menu with prices for 2014:

Sweet Corn Cheesecake

It was the Sweet Corn Cheesecake that really stood out on Disney’s Mexico 2014 menu. A creamy cheesecake that was made with sweet corn, it is a wonderful Mexican dessert. 

Just the word, “cheesecake” will make anyone drool over the mention of this dessert. Mexico makes this Sweet Corn Cheesecake unique. Corn is naturally sweet, so adding it to a cheesecake really brings a cheesecake recipe to a new level.

This Mexican dessert really was a great way to introduce people to Mexican cuisine you may not have known about. That is what is so wonderful about Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival, you can try various culture’s food and wine!
