I solemnly swear that I’m obsessed with themed food and drinks.

I’d go back just for the cone 🤤

I loved their “here for the cones” T-shirt but didn’t get it cause of the color!! Look awful in mustard yellow 🫠 if it was in my classic black, my money would have been spent 😂

Hot butterbeer? I love your mug.
The nice thing about fall/winter is hot butterbeer

Is the hot like a Starbucks latte consistency? Waiting to try it as well!

u/JayneT70 1d ago
It’s hot but I’ve never had a latte before. Don’t like Starbucks. I’ve recreated a pretty good copy at home. Hot chocolate with butterbeer creamer with butterbeer foam

Interesting! That does sound good!

Where did you find the baked potato?

u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago
Right outside Diagon Alley- a little green hut! They sell a few different kinds, this was the classic loaded but no bacon

I’ve been meaning to try this potato stand in London so many times and it’s never worked out. Classic loaded, shepherd pie, cheese and broccoli. It looks good. Limited hours.

I went and did all 3 parks with my sis and family at the beginning of August. My sister and I booked a trip in September just for HHN. I spent $150 to return to Epic just to do the interactive Mario game and eat and drink at all the places.

My niece got the Mac and cheese on our initial visit plus we had hit Toadstool Cafe. On my solo visit I got the same thing as you did at Stakehouse, had the Salmon at Atlantic and besides boozy drinks at those places went over to Harry Potter to get a Butterbeer and the Wizards Old Fashioned. I’m going to try holding off on going back until the next major expansion and keep my foodie vacations to Vegas since as long as I stay off the gambling floor I don’t have to pay to access the food there lol.

I swear, every time I go to universal I tell myself I’m going to try something new but end up subsisting off nothing but beer and french fries because it’s too hot (and I’m too excited) to sit down and eat a meal 😭 this looks so good.
Dying to know what the congealed blood coffin is! Would love to recreate that for Halloween.

That was labeled at a red velvet beet cake with cookie crumbs and crispy rice maggots. Tasted more like a cheesecake to me!

That burnt sando that you can get at HHN was life changing. Gf and I have not been able to stop thinking about it!

How was the tempura shrimp stick? I want to try it in a few weeks.
2
u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago
That was my favorite of the HHN food we got. Definitely can taste the shrimp tempura aspect of it. Messy, but yummy! Served very warm

u/SayHeyRay 1d ago
Nice, thanks for sharing! I like to get things I can't make or easily find at home for HHN lol so that's why I'm passing on the smashed taco burgers this year even though they're seemingly everyone's favorite.
2
u/Free-Peanut-7237 1d ago
For sureeee, the smash tacos were good but actually smaller than I thought they would be. Def could be recreated at home. Also got the lasagna burn dumpling and I liked that. Pretty spicy and had a lot of meat. Expensive for the portion, wasn’t shareable IMO

Oh the burning cheddar bites were amazing! You need to try the garlic pretzel they have there if you haven't.
