The rainbow food trend lives on at the Canadian National Exhibition as was evident at Wednesday’s media day which showcased some of the more unusual foods that will be featured during the 18- day fair.

Unicorn-coloured treats include a grilled sandwich stuffed with gooey multicoloured cheese, deep fried Oreos wrapped in cotton candy and a rainbow funnel cake.

Pickles are big this year too in the form of pickle juice lemonade, pizzas topped with pickles and pickles simply sliced and deep-fried.

And what would fair food without greasy goodness. This year’s options include deep fried artichoke hearts, a funnel cake fried chicken sandwich, frog legs, calamari and corn dogs dusted in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.

The trendy plant-based Beyond Meat burgers will also be available.

In addition to the food and midway rides, this year the CNE will feature an American Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course where visitors can cheer on competitors, a giant indoor lantern display and a building devoted to video games and classic pinball machines.

The 140th edition of the CNE runs from Aug. 16 to Sept. 2. More than a million people are expected to attend this year.
