IN PICTURES: Here are some of the tasty treats featured at the Queen City Ex

The Queen City Ex kicked off on Wednesday. (Mick Favel / CTV News) The Queen City Exhibition (QCX) is underway, a summer staple event where fairgoers can enjoy over 40 rides, music, entertainment, and of course, food. For those who want to venture away from the usual favourites, there are a handful of different treats for people to try. Pickle fans can relish the opportunity to try the spicy dill pickle cotton candy, a fusion of zesty dill pickle with the sweetness of the cotton candy, leading to an unexpected treat, QCX organizers say. The pickle paradise continues with the option to try dill pickle mini donuts, which are dusted with pickle-infused sugar and sprinkled with fresh dill, creating 'the ultimate mashup of comfort food and zesty goodness,' according to the QCX. A couple variations of corndogs will also give fairgoers a unique tasting experience, with the opportunity to try one with a fruity pebble coating or a ketchup chip coating.

(Photo courtesy: Queen City Exhibition) A foot-long Korean cone dog is a golden-battered hot dog topped with cheese sauce, sugar, spicy mayo, sweet chili drizzle and crispy potatoes. If that's not enough, a meatza-mozza corndog should suffice, with QCX organizers calling this item a 'cheesy, meatball-stuffed masterpiece that's basically a pizza, a hot dog, and a corndog all rolled into one glorious bite.' Sticking with the cheese theme, a mac & cheese cone and a mac & cheese kebab will be offered, with the cone featuring mac and cheese in a crunchy waffle cone, and the kebab features cubes of mac and cheese served on a stick. A buffalo nachos box features tri-colour tortilla chips covered with creamy cheese sauce, buffalo kick, cool sour cream, pickled jalapenos, green onions, and assorted sweet peppers. Slow-cooked pork piled high and covered in maple BBQ sauce served with golden potato wedges and a side of maple BBQ aioli come together to form the maple BBQ pulled pork sandwich and chippers. A buffalo chicken poutine will also be available, providing a twist on the classic Canadian dish. For those with more of a sweet tooth, Dubai chocolate strawberries will be offered, which are strawberries drizzled with milk chocolate, kataifi, and pistachio cream. Ube coconut little donuts are a sweet treat infused with vanilla, fig, and pistachio for a purple look. Pete's Ice Cream Float was a special, limited-edition treat inspired by Pemmican Pete and created exclusively for the QCX. Visit the QCX website to see what vendors are offering tasty treats this year. The QCX continues until Sunday, with admission gates closing at 11 p.m.
