Aug 18 2023 - CNE Food

 

When did the CNE become the hot spot for strange food combinations?  This year there's quite a line-up covered extensively by blogTO HERE 

"Choose from dill pickle fries, pickle cotton candy, and peanut butter pickle dogs; Fruity Pebble-topped mini pancakes and deep fried cheese curds covered in the cereal; and pink champagne mac and cheese, pink stuffed chimney cones, pink dragon fruit fluffy pancakes, pink pina colada sauce-covered nachos and an extra pink strawberry milkshake full of extravagant fixings.

Continuing on the sensational side, there are also Korean fried frog legs, a whopping four-pound taco that is hard to carry with two hands, a burger with watermelon slices for buns, foot-long fries, bacon-wrapped chicken wings, a Krispy Kreme blueberry chicken sandwich, peanut butter jelly corn on the cob and street corn lemonade.

The stars of this year's foods will definitely include the deep fried pizza slices from Pizza Pizza, which come in three varieties: classic, buffalo sauce, and hot honey-pickle-creamy garlic-Doritos.

Another is the cheeseburger and street corn soft serve cones from So Cute Ice Cream, which is the same company behind the ketchup and mustard-flavoured desserts last year.

If you can stomach them, the cheeseburger option comes with a pickle and pretzel in a cheese-coated waffle cone, while the street corn flavour includes lime, cotija cheese and chili seasoning on top."

Do you want to see pictures of this weird stuff?  Here's the National Post coverage with pictures HERE

I didn't find any history of the  CNE's weird food - it doesn't compete with a roller coaster or a ferris wheel, I guess.  

Here's another watercolour image - this one of leaf pressings.
