Here are the weirdest & wackiest foods to try at CNE this year

The annual CNE kicks off in just a few days and though we’re very excited to hop on rides, play some games and catch some musical acts, we’re ready to eat! And as we all know, the CNE is known for offering wild and at times, strange food creations. That being said, if you’re curious to see what’s on the CNE food menu this year, we’ve got a sneak peek for you!

In the past, the CNE has offered questionable creations like ketchup and mustard-flavoured ice cream, and even dill pickle cotton candy. So this year, don’t expect anything less!

As always, there are a ton of delicious options at the CNE this year, including new food vendors and food trucks.
