On July 6th, the Calgary Stampede will officially begin 10 days of festivities showcasing the city’s rich western heritage and perhaps equally as important: CRAZY, FUN, WACKY & UNIQUE Fair Food Offerings!!!
Today, the list of 50 NEW sweet and savory concoctions was released and as I am one lucky dog, I was invited to taste a few in advance!
Here are some of the delicious eats you’ll find in 2018 at the Calgary Stampede!
The Spicy Chicken Arepa from the Arepa Bus
A corn-based wrap, stuffed with a heaping pile of spicy barbecued chicken chorizo sausage, grilled queso-duro cheese, avocado and tomato salsa and a tangy garlic mayonnaise sauce. Bonus: this menu item is gluten-free!
Giant Squid on a Stick from The Happy Fish Catering
A giant squid, soaked in a seasoning bath for hours, breaded in a mixture of flour and spices and deep fried for maximum crunchiness. With your choice of salt and pepper or curry pepper seasoning, the Giant Squid on a Stick is a must try.
