Calgary Stampede 2022 is right around the corner, and each year a huge highlight is hitting the midway to sample all the delicious food on offer. If you've been waiting in anticipation to see what the new Stampede snacks are going to be, you won't be disappointed.
The Calgary Stampede will be back for 2022 from July 8 to 17, and as always, food will play a huge part. You'll be able to try everything from the delicious to the downright weird and try a new food truck every day during the 10-day celebration.
As always Calgary's food trucks will have a lot of incredible food up for grabs including samosa poutine, Flamin' Cheetos fries and waffle cookie dough ice cream sandwiches.
From fried chicken with pop rocks to deep-fried Oreo donuts and "Bad Breath" lemonade, here are some of the wildest menu items available on the Midway.
