Scorpion Pizza....

[calgarygeologist]

Donut burger I would try. Poutine burger sounds great but would probably be too messy and would fall apart due to the gravy.

Deep fried Reese Peanut Butter Cup? About time!

[Hockey_Ninja]

April Fools was 30 days ago.

[Daradon]

Holy smokes, that burger looks so bad and so good.

Actually, both of them do.

[Daradon]

Not just the usual 'let's try putting batter and bacon on this' options this year, though there still is a lot of that. Some real interesting things in there. Truffles? Balsamic?

[Ozy_Flame]

Tequila Fries! Time to get my girlfriend hammered before we go on the Gravitron.

[MissTeeks]

I will be eating many red velvet mini donuts I expect. And the Tequila Fries

[calgarygeologist]

Creole Cajon Chicken Po Boy should be fantastic. Can't go wrong with Polish Poutine either.

Waiting for TTC to reveals his new username

I don't think he'll be able to hide his hatred for the Stampede

[Madman]

"Canada’s monopoly on poutine will also be challenged with the serving of its Polish version, complete with perogies, bacon and caramelized onions."

Oh dear God, thank you!

Was it really necessary to deep fry the bacon-cheddar doughnut burger?

I am not anti-deep fry, but when it's hot, like it is during Stampede, hot stuff is so.. unfulfilling. They need more cold stuff.. like put those deep fried peanut butter cups in some ice cream. Or serve some cold pizza - instant gratification of having left-over pizza, but without having to leave it overnight in the fridge. I'd go for that.

Eating hot greasy stuff on a hot day makes me feel like crap.

[Daradon]

I wonder why you don't see variations of prairie oysters. You'd think that would be a very Stampede type thing.

I'm assuming only the donuts are deep fried and not the final burger as a whole. If the whole thing is deep fried I won't be interested.

I wanna try that pizza. Although the rest of it doesn't look like it'd go well with scorpion, looks like a regular pizza with scorpion's thrown on it for the sake of it. I'd do something with roma tomatoes, parmesan and basil. Or maybe even a basil pesto base instead of tomato sauce. If I get bored later this week maybe I'll try that.

Anyway.... deep fried Reese's?

[MrMastodonFarm]

Out of all of those the Scorpion Pizza is the one I'd want to try the most.

[CaptainCrunch]

I want to eat scorpions and crocodile burgers and laugh at animal rights activates while drinking a brimming cup of panda blood (is that available)

Maybe in China. I've heard you can get all sort of bodily fluid concoctions for their various healing properties.

[Jordan!]

Oh hell nawwww. I just killed one in my garage and another on a trap.
