The Cellar / Midway Food

Food vendors at big fairs compete every year to create a new concoction that will draw sales and raves.
These are this years entries at the Calgary Stampede.

Some look pretty good, but at 3 a day, it would take 3 weeks to try 'em all (if the pop-rocks chicken didn't kill you).
How long is the stampede?

About 10 days I think. Some will be eliminated on ingredients, others on appearance.
Hot stuff is a no, Pop Rocks is a no, and Crickets... c'mon.
Nobody's eating crickets for the protein, just for bragging rights.
Some of them are not a meal but a in between meals snack/drink.

I was too young to be stoned Aunt Noki made them with pure Central Texas Crickets. They had a nutty taste they were seasoned them with garlic salt. She only made them every once in a while. All of the grownups got real happy when she made them. I have never had them since.
