| - The CNE is one of those things where, now that I've experienced it, I can say I've been and will never go again.
First, the food: Do you like fried stuff? If you do, then you'll be a happy camper here. There is all manners of fried shit: butter, cola, donuts, fetuses, whatever. Highbrow eating this ain't, but it's not even *good* lowbrow eating. The poutine I had in the "Food Building" was far from exemplary, and the hot dog only lukewarm.
As far as the rest of it goes, it's like a giant swap meet. Lots of booths with vendors hawking everything from home fragrance oils to "products from Indonesia" (a booth that had Native American dreamcatchers in it. Uh, FAIL.) Vendors and midway game hawkers alike are pretty aggressive. Very annoying.
I liked the farm building, which lets you pet livestock... but other than that, the CNE is pretty forgettable.
