Calgary Stampede is fast approaching and mouths are about to start watering as there's a heap of new menu items coming to the midway this year.

The wild snacks have been amped up this year, with 57 new items added to menus across the midway to try during the Stampede which is running from July 7 to 16, 2023.

There are some truly weird offerings up for grabs this year from ketchup and mustard ice cream to Kool-Aid chicken burgers.

Here are just some of the wild snacks you can pick up during the Calgary Stampede this year. The full list of new menu items can be found on the Calgary Stampede website.

Ever thought "I love this chicken burger, but I wish it tasted like Kool-Aid?" Probably not, but you can give your tastebuds a sensory overload at the Calgary Stampede this year with this concoction. The crispy burger comes with a cherry glaze to create something that looks out of this world.

If plain old pepperoni pizza is not adventurous enough for you, you can get your hands on this instead. It includes elk pepperoni made from sustainably raised elk as well as the classic tomato sauce and cheese.

Ketchup and Mustard Ice Cream

Ketchup and mustard are basically essential for all your favourite midway snacks but if you're looking to take your love for the condiments to new heights, you can get your hands on ketchup or mustard ice cream cones. They even come garnished with a french fry or a pretzel.

Peanut Butter Pickle Dog

The Big Pickle Dog is a Stampede favourite for many and this year, it's been kicked up a gear. The hotdog is contained inside a pickle, battered and smothered in peanut butter and jam.

Street Corn Lemonade

Where: Drink From A Fruit

Lemonade is the best Stampede treat to give you a wild sugar high to carry you through 10 days of festivities but this year, there's going to be more of a savoury twist.

The street corn lemonade is infused with Tajin, corn juice and lime and it's even garnished with salt and chives.

$100 Dog

If you're looking to step up your hotdog game and you have money ready to go, you could pick up this extravagant $100 dog. The 12-inch jalapeño cheddar dog is made with aged wagyu beef and elk meat marinated in cabernet sauvignon. It's served on freshly baked ciabatta and topped with cheese, sauerkraut, onions and banana peppers. It looks fancy AF!

Where: Family Squeezed Lemonade

Stampede wouldn't be Stampede without gallons and gallons of lemonade but combine that with mini donuts and you have yourself a party. This lemonade uses "mini donut milk" and lemonade with honey boba, and a mini donut as a garnish.

Cotton Candy Lightsaber
