Name of Food: Deep Fried Pop-Tarts
Where to Buy: Pennsylvania Dutch Funnel Cakes – located by the Saddledome and the BMO Kid’s Zone (I am sure there are more locations!)
Cost: $5
What makes it worthwhile: The deep fried Pop-Tarts are simply a treat that you’d get for the sole leisure of trying something different. The thing is, it’s Stampede food, so you have to go into it with the mentality that it’s going to be a grease ball with sugar – that is, if you can accept that fact then you’re really going to enjoy this treat. It tastes very much like dough with jam inside of it, so call it a greasier version of a jelly doughnut! Get this, if you pay the full $5 for the deep fried Pop-Tarts, the Calgary Stampede will generously throw in a free dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of fruit flavoured cereal! How’s that for courtesy? I’m obviously just kidding, the treat comes like with the toppings; it’d really be too hard to eat it plain. Who would’ve thought, whipped cream and cereal would make eating something easier and less gag worthy. But hey, I just have a sensitive palette, I detect the levels of grease down to the most extreme amounts, so I’m definitely gonna find something deep fried into a puff of grease hard to manage for my stomach! Don’t let my inability to pig out on deep fried foods hinder you from doing exactly that. It’s only $5, and if you can find yourself a friend or two, eating the deep fried Pop-Tarts will be no problem at all.
