The new offerings on this yearB次元官网网址檚 menu include Jell-O cubes, lemonade and chicken feet B次元官网网址� all battered and dunked into hot oil until crispy.
Kali Fournier and her boyfriend Damon Turner started with the chicken feet, which are served on a stick with honey mustard or ketchup for dipping.

The couple were planning to hit the deep-fried Jell-O and cookie-dough cones next.
Midway operations manager James Radke said there are around 50 new foods on the menu this year.

The Stampede kicks off today with the parade. Temperatures for the opening weekend are expected to be around 30 C, so Radke is expecting cold treats to be popular.

For the more adventurous, the midway is also featuring pizza billed as the worldB次元官网网址檚 hottest, topped with Carolina reaper pepper extract and puree.
Tristin Ukmar, who travelled from Florida to work the stand, said an eight-slice pizza will be made every day. Names will be drawn to choose who gets to try it.
Whoever can finish a slice without drinking anything gets US$50, Ukmar said.
Staff at the stand did a test run and no one was able to eat their whole slice, he added.
