2019 Calgary Stampede midway menu gets crazier

CALGARY – Tasty or terrifying — the man behind this year’s midway menu at the Calgary Stampede says he’s trying to create an emotional response with the food on offer.

Midway operations manager James Radke may have achieved his goal with offerings such as pickle-flavoured cotton candy, a soda made from pickle juice, deep-fried chicken hearts on a stick, flamin’ frogs legs, and octopus deep-fried or in a lollipop.

Corn dogs are still on the menu — but with options including a hot Cheeto coating and another one with ramen noodles.
