The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) in Toronto unofficially marks the end of summer break, before kids head back to school and families return from the cottage. The annual carnival, which celebrates its 140th anniversary this year, is an end-of-summer ritual – one that includes trying all the wackiest foods they have to offer. This year, as in previous years, does not disappoint. Which of these special dishes would you like to try?
Frozen Cookie Dough Spaghetti -- One of the most popular food attractions this year, this yummy summertime dessert is a production in and of itself. Watch as the staff from Eative, a Japanese-inspired café, spiral the ice cream "spaghetti" onto your plate before topping it all off with your choice of strawberry, chocolate or caramel sauce. Don't forget the icing sugar "parmesan"!
