Yes, I now hate British food because of Harry Potter... Just kidding! I can't really hate British cuisine after only eating one dish. Honestly, I can't criticize British food because the only British dishes I've tried that comes to mind are fish and chips and shepherd's pie. However, I can safely say that I don't like Three Broomsticks Inn's bangers and mash. I wasn't expecting the food of Harry Potter to be magically good, but I didn't think it be boring and bland. I was excited to try the food at Universal Studios Hollywood's Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but I was completely let down. The bangers and mash consisted of mashed potatoes topped with two sausages and caramelized onions. On the side were green peas and cabbage slaw. The sausages were your average sausages taste-wise, and the mashed potatoes could be compared to stale saltine crackers in terms of flavor. The green peas and cabbage slaw failed to improve the overall dish, unfortunately. The bangers and mash offered by Three Broomsticks Inn was just not worth the $12 (approximately) I spent for it.
Even though the bangers and mash was awful, Harry Potter World's saving grace was the butterbeer. It was a surprisingly refreshing drink! The butterbeer seemed to be a cream soda topped with a butterscotch-flavored cream. I thought the drink would be overly rich and heavy with sweetness, but it is a light and enjoyable drink. Not a bad drink for 90-degree weather! I don't really drink soda, but I could see myself drinking this every so often. It's a little expensive though, being priced at about $6 (if I recall correctly). I would pay that much for an alcoholic version, however.
Honestly, I feel like the food offerings at the Simpsons' Springfield is better than the ones at the Harry Potter World. However, it was my first time visiting the new Harry Potter attraction, so I haven't had a chance to sample all the foods yet. Luckily, I have a season pass so I will definitely have the chance to try what I missed. I just hope to find some people willing to spend the money to come with me next time, haha!
