Pickled poutine, donut grilled cheese and eel omurice waiting to be eaten at K-Days

Unique food at K-Days is a staple, from cotton candy tacos to octopus lollipops and cheesy ramen corn dogs.

With K-Days 2024 just over a week away, the festival announced some of the new foods that will be available at this year's New Foods Competition.

Is a grilled cheese donut sandwich with bacon or pulled pork a sweet or savoury food? Only the tasters can say for certain.
