The PNE is in full swing once again, delighting crowds with the usual assortment of hair-raising rides, barnyard exhibits and, of course, the most decadent food imaginable.
This year, there are some new additions to the deep-fried smorgasbord at the fair, as well as many favourites from past years. Without further ado, here are the Top 5 Artery-Busting Foods at the PNE. Hope you’re hungry.
Do you have a favourite PNE snack? A deep-fried, sugar-coated delight you enjoy just once a year? Let us know below.
- Deep-fried Kool-Aid at Granny’s Foods: If the PNE has taught us anything, it’s that anything can be deep-fried – even Kool-Aid. Syrupy juice concentrate is battered up, then fried in boiling oil and coated with sugar. No nutritional value whatsoever and absolutely delicious.
- Humongous Turkey Legs at B&B Concessions: Where else can you look like a caveman devouring some prehistoric pterodactyl drumstick other than the PNE? These meaty barbecued drumsticks are the size of a man’s forearm and a perennial hit at the fair.
- Breakfast Poutine at La Poutinerie: Taking poutine to new, heart-attack-inducing heights, this reboot adds ham and eggs to the usual mix of curds, gravy and fries. It’s just about the opposite of the breakfast of champions.
- Double Dare Ya Hot Dog at Crazy Dogs: This absurdly monstrous wiener made waves when it premiered last year. Take a two-foot-long hot dog, slather it in chili, cheese, grilled onions, green peppers and bacon bits. and you get the Double Dog Dare Ya.
- Vegetarian’s Nightmare at Smoking Gun BBQ: The name says it all. The platter consists of one-half pound of pulled pork, one-quarter of a chicken and five pork ribs. Take your Lipitor and come hungry.
