WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA – A reporter from MassLive News embarked on a culinary adventure at The Big E fair, sampling an array of unique and indulgent dishes that tested his gastronomic limits. Documenting his journey, the reporter, Nick O'Malley, explored 12 different food stops, showcasing the fair's diverse and often unconventional offerings. Among the highlights of his tasting tour were a Frito Pie paired with S'mores bacon candy, an unexpected combination of mashed potato fries, and cinnamon marshmallows toasted on a stick. O'Malley also ventured into the realm of vegan cuisine, trying a substantial dish dubbed 'The Big Sexy,' and later, a surprising ham and cheese crepe featuring a dill pickle marshmallow. The reporter's journey continued with a pretzel beer, a formidable 'Quad Father' quadruple cheeseburger, and deep-fried deviled eggs. For an even more daring choice, he tackled the 'Spic-E Burger,' which included jalapeño poppers, onion rings, cheese, and was served between two donuts and rolled in Flamin' Hot Cheetos. His final indulgence was a deep-fried Snickers bar. Reflecting on his experience, O'Malley humorously noted that he felt 'not well inside' after the Spic-E Burger and concluded his eating marathon by comically collapsing on a patch of grass. He advised, 'Think of me as eating it so you don't have to,' suggesting that while the experience was memorable, some of the extreme combinations might be best left untried by others. The report offers a vivid look into the unique food culture of The Big E.
