Mary Poppins has been on my mind a lot lately. I've been wanting to go see Saving Mr. Banks; I just haven't had time yet. And the Walt Disney exhibit is at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago right now. I'm trying to figure out when we can go see that as well. Plus, I'm working on early plans for our next Disney World trip and one of the meals I've been contemplating is breakfast at 1900 Park Fare, which includes Mary Poppins as one of the characters. So, naturally, Mary Poppins was our movie for tonight!
When I was trying to come up with a menu for tonight, there were only a few obvious choices from the movie. Cakes and tea? Not really supper food. Fish (that is what they were going to buy when they got sidetracked to Uncle Albert's)...I'm allergic. Hmmm...what to do?
So, I decided to go with a menu based more on the location of the movie than movie references itself. I found a recipe for the Guinness Stew they serve at the Rose and Crown at the UK Pavilion in Epcot, so I went with that. I know...Irish. But, it's close. And delicious!! I decided on scones for a side.
For dessert, I went back to the Rose and Crown. Sticky toffee pudding. The kids response? "That's not pudding! It's cake!" My response? "Heaven on a plate!" I'm a sucker for toffee.
This was a great movie night, and one of my all-time favorite Disney classics!
