Savory Delights at Diagon Alley
Bangers and Mash, Fisherman’s Pie, Toad in the Hole, and Ploughman’s Feast, all sounds like something you find on the menu of some faraway country but Universal Creative has done an amazing job of bringing London fare to us! Even though Orlando Ticket Connection is your place for ALL Discount Theme Park Tickets, the OTC Genius also loves really great food and is so excited to able to enjoy the Savory Delights at Diagon Alley!
With the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in 2010 our palates have been delighted with some of these delicious foods. Butter Beer became a quick hit with the young and old alike, and the restaurants of Hogsmeade proved to have some really great food, but Universal Orlando promises a lot more in the way of cuisine when Diagon Alley opens soon.
The sister restaurant of Three Broomsticks, The Leaky Cauldron will offer guests the dish of “Banger and Mash’, which is traditional roasted sausages with buttery mash potatoes, “Fisherman’s Pie”, a salmon, shrimp and cod baked together under a potato crust, “Toad in the Hole”, traditional sausage baked into a Yorkshire pudding and served with onion gravy, Fish and Chips, and the “Ploughman’s Feast”, made of English cheese, crusty bread, cornichon pickles, apple beet salad, Branston pickle and a Scotch egg.”
You can’t eat this British fare without washing it down with a swill of ale! Wizard’s Brew and Dragon Scale is the place to go when you have worked up a thirst in the Theme Park. It will offer non-alcoholic brews called Fishy Green Ale and Tongue Tying Lemon Squash, which has my mouth puckered as I’m writing this!!
Ice Cream, Ice Cream we all scream for Ice Cream!
You may just scream in delight after trying some of the many flavors that Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour offers especially on those hot Orlando days! Flavors include Earl Grey and Lavender, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Chocolate Chili, Clotted Cream, Salted Caramel Blondie, Apple Crumble, Strawberry and Peanut-Butter, Orange Marmalade, and something REALLY special; Butter Beer Ice Cream! The drink is so popular with guests that have been to the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade, so it has been turned into a new flavor of soft-serve ice cream.
You can’t’ visit any park in Universal Orlando without having the side carts selling different foods and beverages, and Diagon Alley will be no exception. There is a street off Diagon Alley called Horizont where guests will find Eternelle’s Elixir of Refreshment. Guests can try more wonderful concoctions like the Drought of Peace, Babbling Beverage, Elixir to Induce Euphoria and Fire Protection Potion. Says Universal, “By adding these magical elixirs to Gillywater, guests will see their drink transform before their eyes and experience delightful flavor surprises.” We’re eager to see exactly what these elixirs do to the drinks.
Since the opening of Wizarding World of Harry Potter’s-Diagon Alley is just around the corner, The OTC Genius’s tastes buds are ready to try all the food that the new park to offer!!
