If there is one thing that the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is well-known for, it's the food. Here are the ones the fair dubbed worthy enough to be in its hall of fame.
"Although the subject of wacky foods has become synonymous with the CNE in recent decades, the fact is that food has played a significant role at the Fair since the inception of what was introduced as the Food Products building, that was funded and built by the Canadian National Exhibition in 1954," the CNE said in a release Thursday.
The Ex narrowed it down to five hall of famers – items that have made a lasting impact on the fair, whether new or old – worthy of getting their own hockey MVP treatment with a banner of the plate set to hang year-round at the food building in commemoration of it.Fairgoers have been able to scarf down these sugary miniature treats for the last 64 years.
The first ice cream waffle sandwich to hit the Midway was served in 1940 and the cow-printed booth is still recognizable at The Ex – still serving the decades-long recipe the CNE says "has stood the test of time." Hitting the midway in 2019, the CNE said this cheesy, dill-packed piece of pie became one of the year's best-selling food items, inspiring other food vendors to come up with their own pickle-infused food concoctions every year that's followed.This cup of spaghetti slathered in tomato sauce and dusted with parmesan cheese has been a budget-friendly food choice for fairgoers for more than four decades, and the CNE says this item evokes "such nostalgia" for visitors.
