REVIEW: This New Disney Springs Dish Is Big, Bold, and Only Here for a Limited Time

There aren’t many places in Disney World that offer lamb, but now you can get a new dish at Disney Springs!

The Polite Pig

If you’re a fan of lamb, you’re going to want to check out the Polite Pig! We’re big fans of the barbecue spot located in Town Center at Disney Springs, so we get excited when new dishes drop at the dining spot. We got to try the new dish, and now we’re bringing you our full review.

The Polite Pig just dropped the Lamb Shank for $28. It’s a lamb shank with creamy sweet corn risotto, fresh watermelon, radish, roasted butternut squash, and a rich demi-glacé.

Lamb Shank

There is so much going on with this dish, and it all works so well together. You can see the char when you cut into the lamb shank that has clearly been smoked for a very long time. It has a beautiful bark on the outside, and it’s full of flavor. You get warm, smoky notes with garlic, pepper, and other warm notes to the spice. The spice rub they use leaves a tingling, pleasant feeling on your tongue when eaten. It blends so well with the risotto with watermelon radish and the parsley salad tossed with fresh red onions. The flavors seem strong from the parsley and red onion.

This looks so tasty!

You can actually taste the components even with the strength of the lamb flavor that is so robust and so bold. The risotto is so creamy, with layers of flavor from the corn. Everything goes well with the lamb and a little bit of the parsley salad, which is lightly tossed in a light vinaigrette. It added so much freshness to the lamb, and having a bite with the radish, the risotto, and the parsley salad brings wonderful notes of acidity to the plate.

One thing we did not see is the promised butternut squash. The demi-glacé is around the edge of a plate, and it is rich and earthy and creamy and spicy, and they put just enough where you can have some bites with the demi-glacé.

This is great!

You do have to be a great fan of lamb, because the way that they have prepared this has brought out the quintessential gaminess that comes with lamb. If you’re used to a milder lamb, you might not like this. If you’re a fan of meats like venison or duck, this lamb will knock your socks off!

Lamb Shank

This is a dish we would definitely order again…and again. It is a limited-time addition to their menu, so you’re going to need to get it fast. Also, be aware that this is HUGE. You should at least bring a friend to share this or be absolutely starving.

You need to try this!
