The CNE Media preview is one of my favourite events of the year. Especially the food. That doesn’t come as a surprise to you, right? Indeed I cheated on my low carb diet. I just had too!!
Here’s just a few items that you will find at the CNE this year!!
1.) The Big Pickle Dog – Sadly I didn’t get to try it but I will as I’m planning a second visit to the CNE. #onevisitisntenough
2.) The Chocolate Diablo – Vanilla soft serve coated in cookie crumble, cocoa puffs and wasabi peas with a sriracha caramel drizzle. I loved it. Something about the crunchy and sweet and savoury combo, really appeals to me!!
3) The Cartoon Dog – No doubt there was a trend this year to sprinkle cereal on many different items! Trust me – I’m ok with it.
4) Blueberry Pie Milkshake: I didn’t try it but it sure did look pretty!
5) Deep Fried Butter tart: This was decadent AND brilliant too!
6) Try to imagine a traditional cheesesteak between a chocolate eclair, topped with bacon, whipped cream and chocolate icing. Yes – this exists. Talk about creativity!! P.S this can be found at Philthy Philly’s in the Food Building).
7) Tim Hortons Froot O’s Donut: Bring it on!!
8) Canadian Bacon Taco – this was probably my favourite. NO CARBS and freaking delicious. Way to go Bacon Nation!! 
9) Deep Fried Peanut Butter Cups: What can I say? I like anything deep fried and anything that involves a Peanut Butter Cup.
10. Chimney Stax is offering a frozen yogurt dessert in one of their famous rotisserie-baked breads. See…. not everything I eat was fried!!
By the way,even though food captures my attention, I have to admit these giant prizes captures my attention too.
