The PNE's food line up is weirder and wackier than ever with options that will surely add a few pounds to the waistline. Here are seven things to try — if you're brave enough.
Cricket burger and fries

If you're squeamish about eating bugs, maybe avoid this one. Eating insects is common all over the world, and the PNE has its own version with the roasted BBQ cricket burger.
"High in fiber and protein, this burger packs a gratifying and tasty crunch," says the PNE. Foodies can also try the fries topped with roasted BBQ flavoured crickets and gravy.
Crispy chicken feet

The name says it all. While a staple in many cuisines, it's the first time the PNE will have something like it.
Chili lime popcorn shrimp perogies
Chilli lime perogies
A twist on the traditional perogies which are topped with crispy panko shrimp, a sweet chili glaze and sriracha mayo and served with lime and mint cucumbers.
Double bacon mac and cheese Super Footlong Hotdog
Mac n cheese hot dog
What's a fair without a hot dog?! To celebrate Super Footlong Hotdogs 60th anniversary at the fair, try their latest gamble: bacon with homemade mac and cheese.
Cherry cola soft serve

Pretty much self-explanatory.
Rolled ice cream waffle taco
Indulge your sweet tooth with ice cream rolled with your favourite toppings and served in a waffle shaped like a taco. Because tacos are all the rage.
I can go for the chicken feet and the chili lime shrimp perogis, but no to crickets ‘n gravy fries.
Technically that would be a “cricket poutine” in the photo.
When I visited a Mongolian nomad family last year, they cooked a sheep head in my honor. I politely declined the eyes and brain.
I have to say, that tops the list of unusual snacks for me.
I don’t think I would ever try bugs.
There was a fad in the 50s of chocolate covered ants and french fried grasshoppers. A friend’s parents had leftovers from a party. We ate them. Not at all bad. The ants were like chocolate-covered raisins and french fried grasshoppers tasted like the French’s canned fried onions.
My son will eat anything. So for Christmas he got sour cream and chive dried crickets. He loved them. I couldn’t go there.
2. Vigorously pour Tabasco sauce in a small bag of Fritos. shake well. Nice burnin’ hot Fritos on the go is the result. I love em.
I remember my stepfather had a can of fried grasshoppers in the cupboard, back in the 60s-70s. As far as I know, that can was never opened.
Coincidentally, this is the name of a game I played
with my girlfriend in he back seat of a '56 Cadillac
around the summer of '67.
Your summer was far better than mine................
That mac n’ cheese hotdog give me indigestion just looking at the pic.
I went in (RA) February of ‘69.
Got my all expense paid tour in 70.
I still get ragged on for missing the “Summer of Love” and all.
Well, if you had a few piasters to spare, a poor semblance was available in-country.
The difference between “puke” and “ vomit. “
Tu-Do Street Girls they no like Vietnamee moneys.
You pay wit MPC.
(Or cases of beer, bottles of hooch or PX merchandise.)
I’ve eaten chocolate covered grasshoppers (tasty) and fried worms.
Oh, and mine was finished in gray fur.
On the outside.
Instead of paint.
It was a trendy 60s thing called Velvetex.
I hear they are poised for a comeback -
