Ever since BoG opened, I have thought that a white bean cassoulet would be a great veg option. But is that a photo of it, with the crostini and multicolored cauliflower? If so, that doesn't look like any cassoulet I've ever seen. I would be pretty disappointed if I expected a cassoulet and got that.
Using the word cassoulet pretty liberally here.
good on you for giving it a whirl! Cassoulet is an intimidating dish, the hours if not days of cooking between the duck and beans and bread crumb crust with the rich ragout. I was intrigued when I saw the menu update. Then I saw the pictureHullo!
To me a cassoulet's liquid is more like a stew than soup. Of course there are many different versions of the dish throughout southern France so maybe there's a soupy version I missed.
I'll tell you a joke. When I first married the ex we lived in this country and I wanted to remind him of home so made a cassoulet according to a recipe from Julia Child. Took what seemed like forever to collect all the ingredients pre-internet days but I did pretty well after trolling the streets of 9th Avenue and Yorkville in Manhattan, friends who knew purveyors of French eateries on Restaurant Row and a long distance call to "Tata Claudine" in the 'burbs of Compiegne. Then I took another week out of my life to assemble the dish. After much pushing of successive bread crumb crusts into the baked dish, I was finally ready in time for his birthday and set the table in a as close to provincial French manner as I could get. The ex tasted the dish and went into verbal rhapsody. I was sooo proud of self I'd like to blot out the sun. And when he said it was better than his mother's I knew I'd hit the jackpot.
Err but but then he told me his Mom's came from a can...
In defense of my MIL she was from Picardy so the food of southern France was "exotic".
Thank you for posting thisI just checked... the new items are appearing on the BOG menu via the app and website. It doesn’t look like the new items have replaced other items. Just new additions!
Edit: I have spoken too soon. The menus have changed a bit...
What are you noticing is different? I'm not noticing anything (looking at the Disney website), but I'm not super familiar with the menu.I just checked... the new items are appearing on the BOG menu via the app and website.

Braised pork is gone, for one.The new items are on the menu, but it doesn't seem that they have removed anything. I was worried, all of the new additions I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.

Thanks. I knew the pork had changed to chicken, but I didn't realize so many of the vegetarian options were removed.For lunch, the braised pork is now braised chicken. The vegetable quiche, quinoa salad and potato leek soup (which were all vegetarian options) are all gone. The cannellini bean cassoulet, corn bisque, spring shrimp salad and spring chicken salad are all new.
I'm not sure what Disney's game plan is with these changes. At nearly $20 for a sandwich, this will only encourage the cupcake crowds, and I will join them. It is a must do for me because of the theming, and I really liked the braised pork. I'm glad now that I was only able to get an ADR for 110. I think we'll have an early lunch at CHH, and just get an app and cupcakes and some beer at BOG.
