CALGARY – Officials have unveiled a list of 31 brand new midway snacks that will be offered at the 2013 Calgary Stampede.
There’s an array of deep fried dishes including Doritos, pie, pickled beans and even butter.
Or, if you’re looking for something a little more low-cal there’s frozen yogurt and egg rolls on a stick.
Organizers have also announced some more international flavours, including cuisine from Mexico, India and the Ukraine.
Finally, for those with a sweet tooth you can try chocolate cinnamon bear fudge or B52 fudge – which takes Baileys, tops it with Grand Marnier and then smothers it with Kahlua (all in fudge form).
