What Do the Disney Churros Taste Like?

The dessert has a crispy exterior that is covered in cinnamon sugar. They are a bit doughy in the middle so they have a tasty mixture of textures, firm and crisp yet soft and gooey. While there are the classic Disney churros you can also find various flavors throughout the park as well as at Disney California Adventure. The flavors might also vary depending on the season.

Where to Find Churros at Disneyland

While there are plenty of foods, drinks, and snacks to pick from, the churros at Disneyland stand out as an absolute crowdpleaser. You can find churros at Disneyland Resort throughout the park. The churro carts are not at one set location, which makes it convenient if you happen to be on one side of the park; you don't have to trek all the way to the other side just to get your hands on a churro.

Fans of Sumatran tiger cub Bakso and his mom Sohni can now watch him grow up on weekly episodes on the Disney Parks YouTube. The Tiger Tuesday Live! series allows viewers to get a behind-the-scenes look at baby Bakso as he grows and learns how to navigate the world around him. Bakso and his mom Sohni are located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World. The tigers have access to veterinary care, animal training, enrichment, and natural surroundings as part of the Disney Conservation efforts.

The public got the first look at Bakso in October 2024 on the Vice President of Disney’s Animals, Science & Environment, Dr. Mark Penning’s Instagram page. Since then, the adventurous tiger has captivated the world as he takes on new experiences with his mom keeping an ever-watchful eye. There are nine Tiger Tuesday Live! episodes to watch on the Disney Parks YouTube channel. 

You can take your time tuning in or spend the afternoon binge-watching them all in one go to get your fill of the adorable baby animal. Each episode means Bakso gets closer to making his debut on Maharajah Jungle Trek with his mom, Sohni. 

As you watch from episode to episode, you can watch Bakso hit some vital milestones, such as taking his first swim or trying solid food. You can also enjoy some feel-good moments like watching him cuddle with his mom, Sohni. The close-up views make it feel like you're right there with them without having to take a trip to the park. 

The episodes give viewers a peek at what the growth process of a cub looks like but also what it looks like for mom. Bakso starts to nurse less, sleep more, and partake in enrichment activities. In episode six, we get to watch Bakso as he explores a new area: the backstage habitat, which allows him to practice his jumping, rolling, and pouncing skills – all of which are important skills for the young Sumatran tiger cub to master. 

By the time make your way through episode nine you'll have watched the little cub grow, both developmentally and in size. There is not a standard time as each episode varies in length. Episode two is the longest at 65 minutes and episode six is the shortest at just 15 minutes. Each episode gives you a different look at Mom and cub from a live-stream perspective.

There is no music or narration, which allows viewers to focus solely on the animals and what they're up to week after week. The series wrapped up its final episode to celebrate Bakso’s big Maharajah Jungle Trek appearance. The excursion allows guests to roam around the tropical trails to encounter various animals, such as gibbons, water buffalo, over 50 bird species, and of course Sohni and Bakso. The experience is available for all ages and heights. Now you can see Bakso in person during your next trip to Disney's Animal Kingdom Park!

The East Coast Seafood Japanese Hokkaido Scallops are delicious. They are tender and can absorb whatever flavor you add to them. They come in a 2-pound bag and the scallops may range in size. For best results, cook similar-sized ones together so you don't overcook small ones and undercook larger ones. 

You can find these scallops at Costco in the freezer section by other seafood. These are wild caught and a product of Japan. The packaging says that you'll get around 18 to 23 scallops per pound. 

Costco Item number  1632838

The only ingredient is scallops. 

Review

I'll admit I wasn't super familiar with scallops until I bought these. But I was extremely impressed. I followed the directions exactly just because I didn't want to mess them up. They were so good. The texture was soft and tender. I added butter, salt, pepper, and lemon as directed and they were delicious. They are not fishy in any way so these are great if you don't love seafood. They absorb a lot of flavors, like butter and lemon so they aren't as fishy as say salmon.

While you probably go to Olive Garden for the pasta, you may stay for dessert. They offer several options on the dessert menu, such as the Warm Italian Doughnuts and Strawberry Cream Cake, but you might find that some are seasonal options such as the pumpkin cheesecake. The menu will change, but they currently have a few dessert available.

Current Olive Garden Dessert Menu

• Chocolate Lasagna 
• Black Tie Mousse Cake 
• Tiramisu 
• Strawberry Cream Cake 
• Warm Italian Doughnuts
•  Sicilian Cheesecake with Strawberry Topping

But that’s not why you’re here. You want to learn more about the Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden! 

Flavor, Taste, and Texture of the Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden

The description of the cake says that it's rich layered cake with chocolate cake, dark chocolate cheesecake, and creamy custard mousse. I would say that this is a very dense and sweet option that makes it perfect for sharing. After a few bites, you’ll feel satiated, especially if you’re rounding out your meal. 

The Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden is a creamy dessert with visible layers. There is the cake layer on the bottom followed by  chocolate cheesecake, and then the custard mousse. It has chocolate chips on the exterior edge and a sort of ganache topping. Because of the various layers, you’ll notice different textures: the dryer bite of chocolate cake, the smooth cheesecake, and crunch of chocolate chips. 

My favorite part was the chocolate cheesecake portion, the chocolate ganache on top, and the chocolate chips. This is a great cake if you're a chocolate lover, but if you don't like chocolate, then you probably would want to get something else.

I tasted all the current options from the Olive Garden dessert menu and Black Tie Mousse Cake was one of my favorites. I preferred this much more than the strawberry cheesecake, but you might like strawberry if you want a fruity dessert. 

For Here or To Go?

The cake slice was just as tasty when I brought it home as when I ate it in the store. This is a great option if you want to a dessert to carry away or bring back with out. If you order it to eat at the restaurant, it comes on a plate with a chocolate drizzle to give it a nice decoration.

Price of the Olive Garden Black Tie Mousse Cake

The price may vary based on your Olive Garden location. I'm in the San Diego area and it was over $10 for the slice. The Olive Garden Black Tie Mousse Cake not an affordable dessert by any means, but it seems about the same price as other desserts in the area.
