Went to The Big E couple weeks ago for the first time. For those that know, saying it is enough. For those that have never been it's a huge fair in West Springfield that runs for like 3 weeks or so... The only thing that could have made The Big E more deliciously white trash is if they handed out plug tobacco and varmint guns at the gates. Obviously i was in my element.
The highlight if you will is the food there. That's why i went. Here's a list of what i ate and drank. Now keep in mind, another friend of mine attended, she's more of a veteran of the Big E then myself and her list blew mine away even tho i think i did good:
1. corn dog - 11am perfect time for a corn dog
2. 2 big handfuls of fresh, warm kettle corn
3. 20 oz. Sam Adams Summer -- "Do you like beer? Try my new Saaaaaaaaaaaam Aaaaaaaaaaaaaadams"
4. about 1/3 of a massive baked potato covered in butter, sour cream, chives, cheese and topped with really good BBQ pulled pork
5. Strawberry Shortcake bowl... real short bread fresh strawberries and whipped cream... yup
6. 20 oz. Bud Light -- mmm yummy cop beer
7. 20 oz. Bud -- yummy rummy beer
8. several "petals" of a gigantic Bloomin' Onion... (ya know they take an onion, chop it so it looks like a flower, and throw batter at it and fry it in lard) dipped in Ranch dressing
9. 20 oz. Spaten Lager -- this was really fucking good
10. The Whole Reason I Went: DEEP FRIED OREOS... there are no words.. i talked to them as if they were my lover.
11. Funnel Cake - good but over shadowed by DEEP FRIED OREOS for chrissakes
12. absolutely amazing Beignets covered in praline pecans and caramel sauce
13. An 11-dollar Mojito -- priciest thing there but it was all vodka and in a pint glass.. i enjoyed it
14. Pot Roast Sundae -- oh yeah.. this thing was like a dream come true for a young NDF.... first they get a bowl, throw in some mashed taters, toss some corn on top of that.. then heap an assload of really really yummy pot roast on that bad larry and top it off with a cherry tomato
15. a huge bite of a empanada from the "latin food" cart which was full of what looked to be like the west springfield elks club of retired old white people that didn't speak a lick of spanish.
16. a huge Big E Eclair on the ride home.
again my list is small compared to others in our expedition. Aside from the food, My friend Dora the Explorer got a 20 dollar pair of sweet sneakers and i bought a new leather wallet of a Mexican dood for 12 bucks.. The Big E rules.. and i'll be back next year for a new backwards hat kid pissing on a yankees logo sticker for my ford f-850 to fit right between the roll bars and the gun rack.
