Ep 2. Citizen Candy Cane

In the second episode of season 7 of the mesmerizing food show, Carnival Eats, we get to witness Citizen Candy Cane, where the host takes us on a delectable journey filled with a variety of carnival delicacies steeped in holiday flavors.

The episode starts with the host taking us through a food carnival that is fit to make anyone’s mouth water. The first booth we encounter is called “Christmas Crack,” which serves up an irresistible snack consisting of crackers and caramel-covered in chocolate. From there, we're introduced to different booths serving up hot cocoa and gingerbread waffles, among other holiday-themed treats.

The host then takes us to a booth called, “The Gingerbread House,” where the chefs show us how to prepare a gigantic gingerbread house made from scratch. The process is both fascinating and mouth-watering to watch - the aroma of the freshly-baked gingerbread alone is enough to make anyone's stomach growl! The gingerbread house is soon assembled and served up to the crowds, and the host indulges in a piece or two before moving on to the next booth.

In the next booth called “The North Pole,” we witness how the chefs make a Santa's Workshop Sundae, which is a delicious concoction of mint ice cream, hot fudge, and peppermint bark. This booth is an instant attraction for children, and adults alike, as everyone indulges in a generous helping of the sweet treat.

Next up, the host highlights some of the most enjoyed traditional holiday treats served at carnivals around the world. These include the Mexican hot chocolate known as champurrado, Scottish shortbread cookies, a Scandinavian snack called Krumkake, which is essentially a cone-shaped waffle rolled into a tube filled with whipped cream, and a festive fruitcake from Brazil.

In addition to these mouth-watering delights, the show also features a booth called “Winter Wonderland,” where the chefs create a mesmerizing, edible snow globe made out of cotton candy and candy corn. This booth attracts people of all ages as they eagerly pose for selfies in front of the towering, glittery snow globe.

One of the most unique and interesting booths that the host introduces us to is “The Sugar Shack.” Here, we are shown how to make an extraordinary candy cane milkshake that is both creamy and sweet. The host watches as the chefs infuse the milkshake with peppermint extract and candy cane bits, and finish it off with a candy cane stick. The drink looks delicious and refreshing, and the host can't help sampling it before moving on to the next booth.

The final booth of the episode is called “Yule Log Cabin,” where we learn how to make a festive, holiday-themed Yule log cake. The cake is made by rolling a thin layer of sheet cake around a layer of frosting, creating a log-like shape. The log is then frosted with chocolate frosting and decorated with festive holiday toppings such as sugared cranberries, greenery and fondant mushrooms.

As the episode comes to an end, the host immerses herself in all the sweet and delicious carnival eats that she has discovered along the way. She concludes by reminding us that carnivals have always been a hub for creativity and innovation, where chefs are free to experiment with new flavors and textures that we may not have tried before.

Citizen Candy Cane is a heartwarming episode that brings together all the joy and festivity of the holiday season into one mesmerizing food carnival. Carnival Eats truly delivers a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave your taste buds tingling and your mouth-watering, so keep watching!
