I tried the CNE's wildest new foods for 2026 and these 8 are actually worth the lines
The Canadian National Exhibition is back in Toronto! Each year, the CNE brings rides, games, events, performances and a whole lot of wacky and wild foods to the city, and this year is no exception.
Fair vendors have really brought out the big guns for 2026, with a host of new food creations featuring wild combinations, unique flavours, and exclusive recipes you'll definitely want to try.
See on Instagram I got the chance to try out some of the best and weirdest concoctions on offer at the CNE this year for Narcity, and was surprised by how tasty some of the options actually are.
From deep-fried slices of pizza to Kraft Dinner smoothies, here's a look at some of the must-try food items you'll want to sink your teeth into at the 2026 CNE.
Sushi Push Pop Price: 1 for $8, 3 for $20 Where To Find: HK Station, Food Truck Frenzy Details: Take your sushi roll on the go! These Sushi Push Pops from HK Station combine the design of a push-pop candy with classic sushi rolls, and the result is actually really good.
This genius combination makes it easy to eat sushi at the fair — I mean, who wants to be walking around the CNE Midway trying to eat a salmon roll with chopsticks? The push pops are available in three kinds: salmon, tuna and shrimp.
I opted for the salmon roll, which comes with salmon, avocado and a special sauce.
It was a really delicious roll, and I appreciated the no-mess function of the push pop.
You can get one Sushi Push Pop for $8, or three for $20, and find them at the Food Truck Frenzy near the Princes' Gates during the fair.
HK Station also serves up sushi tacos as well as drinks like Hong Kong-style milk tea.
Rating: 5/5 S'mores Deep-Fried Pizza Slice Price: $13.11 Where To Find: Pizza Pizza Details: Pizza Pizza just took a fair-food classic to a whole new level.
This year, parkgoers can try a deep-fried pizza slice from the chain topped with s'mores fixings for a dish that literally combines dessert and pizza.
The new creation is a classic Pizza Pizza cheese slice, dipped in corn dog batter and breaded with graham cracker crumbs, fried until crispy, and topped with chocolate ganache, whipped marshmallow, and graham cracker drizzle.
Instead of being a "dessert pizza," however, this is literally a pizza slice with dessert on top.
