The CNE Has So Much Food This Year & Here Are Some Of The Wildest Items (PHOTOS)

Who's hungry? The Canadian National Exhibition is coming back to Toronto after a two-year hiatus, and you can finally enjoy rides, games, and out-of-this-world food again.

The massive attraction is running from August 19 to September 5, 2022, and it's expected to draw over 1.4 million visitors this year. You'll be able to experience some classic activities as well as brand new offerings including a drone show and Double-Decker Merry-Go-Round.

Of course, it wouldn't be a trip to the CNE without trying some unreal food items, and this year, there are so many unique dishes to try. Here's a sneak peek at some of the wildest dishes you can order.

If you're craving sandwiches, there are a variety to choose from, but don't expect your usual PB&J. You can get items like a Krispy Kreme Pulled Pork consisting of two glazed donuts, creamy coleslaw, and pork.

Or, try the Flaming Hot Cheetos smash burger or burritos for some extra heat.

Speaking of heat, you can add some hotness to your dessert by trying the Spice Cream. Available in either Peach Mango-spiced or Black Current-spiced, this ice cream is drizzled with Tabasco sauce and even has a hot pepper on the side.

There are tons of other ice cream dishes to try. From a Pickle Split to a Bacon Ice Cream Sandwich, you can enjoy some unreal frozen treats. One of the wildest ice cream offerings is the Ketchup and Mustard soft-serves. These vibrant red and yellow cones are decorated with items like pretzels and fries.
