Calgary Stampede 2010
And it's time for the annual Stampede thread. Haters, I know you hate. But I live a sad pathetic existence. This is one of the few things in the year that give me joy. Please let me have my fun.
For anyone who's paid any attention (probably none of you, but that's ok), it's the food that I look forward to every year.
New and notable for Stampede 2010:
Deep fried Dill pickles
Chocolate brownies
Chicken–on-a-Stick
Cheese-on-a-Stick
Cheddar Nuggets
Strawberry Smoothies
Pickle Chips
Chipstix’s
Meat Pies
Deep Fried Strawberry Shortcake
Pulled Pork Sandwich
Belgian Waffle-on-a-stick
Alligator Pizza
Deep fried Twinkie
Deep Fried Snickers Bar
Deep Fried Jelly Bean
Deep Fried Oreos
Hot beef Sundae
Taco in a Bag
Pizza-on-a-Stick
Some of these are Stampede basics and I have no idea why they're on the list. They're probably running out of things to stick into a deep fryer.

It would be better if it were on a stick.
To be honest, I'm really disappointed in this year's offerings. The majority of these were from last year, and the new ones are just battered and fried cheese. One on a stick, the other not. And the Chipstix is just the tornado potato from last year. Boo.
I might give deep fried Snickers bar a try though.

If he did, he'd be a very bad man. Honestly, it's one of the few rays of sunshine in my dark dreary life. Anyone who would take that from me is heartless.

Beef on a Bun...soooooooooooooooooo good...
The deep fired oreos last year are damn filling as hell. Surprise how much two of them can be enough for me.
Oh, and any word on making the Stampede be more christian?

I can't wait for the return of the tornado potato!
I was just looking this morning to see if the Coca-Cola Stage and Nashville North had announced their 2010 acts, but no luck.
My annual tradition is to wear a fu-manchu moustache for the ten days of Stampede. Last year it was so epic that even Ian White would have given me a high-five.

The deep fried oreos are my new favourites over the mini doughnuts!  Drool!
Also, could the "Alligator pizza" have actual gator meat on it? I know in the southern US, they are eaten, and apparently it doesn't taste too bad at all.
I checked one of the Stampede blogs (below), which mentions "new alligator and cricket pizza"! Yup, looks like actual gator meat! Also, I wonder how many drunken bets will be made involving cricket pizza?

Gator meat isn't that bad at all.
I had some last fall in Nebraska of all places.
The guys I worked with were from Louisiana and they swore by it.

I can't wait to hit another bag of deep fried oreos, and have some mini donuts for dessert.

Gawd damn, I love the Stampede... but, for the food and the food only. It's one big sleazy greasepit for 10 days straight, where I eat so much crap there that fat starts to secrete out of the pores on my face, my hair falls out and my skin turns a healthy grey color. This thread rules. I will be eating everything that's been listed by the OP, and I think I am going to thoroughly enjoy the alligator pizza. Animals activists be damned, I'm going to be crapping gator tators for three weeks afterwards and I look forward to it.
Oh yeah, and those beef-on-a-bun stands will be sorry they ever saw the likes of me. Just like the previous five years.
