The Big E New Food And Drink Options Include A Magic Martini That Changes Colors

Author Carolyn Kruse

With The Big E set to open this Friday, September 15, more details are spilling about exciting new offerings at the tremendously popular fair in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Yesterday, I shared with you 7 country acts set to take the various stages at the Eastern States Expo grounds. Here, you can find out about new selections offered to satisfy your hungry and thirst. The Big E new food and drink options include a magic martini that changes color!

Feast On Funky Food

As reported in MassLive, there’s plenty to look forward to this year! No doubt, one of the 65 new foods available this year will tickle your fancy. The popular Luann’s Bakery on The Front Porch will have dill pickle cupcake. Ooh, my cheeks just puckered. Honestly, some of these new selections sound like a pregnant woman’s dream cravings. For instance, this year you’ll find Caramel Apple Snicker Dessert Pizza at the Top Crust in the Food Court. They must have consulted women in their second trimester, when cravings are strongest.

Bartender, Can I Get One Of Those?

Ok, I’ll get to the magic martini in a second, here. First, I had to mention that at the Sam Adams Beer Garden on the Avenue of States at the Big E, you can cool options. They will have Frozen Peach Twisted Tea and Frozen Truly Wildberry available for your future brain freeze. But it sure sounds like frosty yumminess.

Now, time for a little martini talk. This sounds wild! The “Color Changing Lemon Drop Martini” begins it’s life in your glass as a lavender liquid. Then presto magico the Lemon Drop martini suddenly turns pink! How do they do that? No one is telling, yet.  But they have told us where to find it…at V-One Vodka on New England Avenue.

 

The Most Iconic Food from Every State - Massachusetts is a Surprise!

  • Most iconic food from RHODE ISLAND

    COFFEE MILK

    I think I’ve lived in New England for so long that this just seems like a part of life. But I remember the first time I saw it, then saw it again somewhere else, then again I thought I was in bizarro land because I had never seen it before. Now I crave that coffee syrup and milk mix pretty regularly.

  • Most iconic food from MAINE

    WHOOPIE PIES

    Two chocolate hamburger-bun-shaped cake patties filled with whipped cream. Labadie’s Bakery in Lewiston made the original whoopie pie in 1925. You can still get them there or order them frozen RIGHT HERE.

  • Most iconic food from CONNECTICUT

    STEAMED CHEESEBURGER

    Ted’s Restaurant in Meriden sounds legit. They are well-known for serving up these tasty steamed cheeseburgers and now I want one sooooo bad.

  • Most iconic food from NEW HAMPSHIRE

    STEAMERS

    New Hampshire’s shoreline is small but mighty and bursting with amazing seafood! It’s a meal and drink in one! LOL

  • Most iconic food from VERMONT

    SUGAR ON SNOW

    I grew up most of my childhood in Vermont and I can confirm that I know well-and-good what sugar on snow is and I have eaten it at least a dozen times in my life. It’s just fresh VERMONT snow with maple syrup drizzled on it. Grab a spoon and dig in! Also – every part is important – freshly fallen VERMONT snow and 100% real maple syrup. No Massachusetts snow from last week with Log Cabin on it. Nuh uh.

  • Most iconic food from ALASKA

    ALASKAN KING CRAB LEGS

    Yo – my mom would routinely HOUSE these things at the buffet in my town. We loved the buffet steakhouse, and mom loooooovvvveeeddd her Alaskan King Crab Legs. I think I saw her fight another customer one time for the last leg. I may have imagined that but I may not have.

  • Most iconic food from IDAHO

    ICE CREAM POTATO

    This one is hilarious to me and I need someone from Idaho to please confirm that this is truly a thing there: the ice cream potato. From all the pictures I just looked up it’s just what it sounds like: a scoop of ice cream on an opened-up baked potato. The end. For real though?

  • Most iconic food from DELAWARE

    SCRAPPLE

    Do you know what goes IN scrapple? No? Don’t worry about it. Seriously. It’s a Pennsylvania Dutch treat. My father-in-law grew up in a Pennsylvania Dutch family and he loooovvveeddd scrapple. I loved my father-in-law so much that I ate it with him a couple times. Fatty salt fest to the max. But I’d do it again 1,000 times as long as it was with him. I love how food brings back memories. Now I’m teared up about freaking scrapple. Who even am I?

  • Most iconic food from FLORIDA

    KEY LIME PIE

    I wonder if Key Lime Pie is Florida’s clam chowder. I wonder if they’re like “yeah we like it but enough already!!”

  • Most iconic food from GEORGIA

    PEACH COBBLER

    I knew Georgia was the land of delish peaches but I had a peach cobbler in Georgia that made me consider moving there. Seriously. My waistline is very happy I opted to stay home in Massachusetts.

  • Most iconic food from NEW YORK

    NEW YORK CHEESECAKE

    Juniors gets credit for inventing the New York Cheesecake back in the 1950’s and that standard still remains today. Silky silky silky.

  • Most iconic food from TEXAS

    FAJITAS

    I’m telling you, I moved to Dallas for a radio job years ago. My family lived there for two years and Texas ruined fajitas for me. I have always loved fajitas but the fajitas that you can get in tiny neighborhood places that just feel like someone’s house (I honestly think many of them are run out of people’s houses) are so good that the great fajitas I enjoyed pre-Texas aren’t so great anymore. I sometimes dream about them.

  • Most iconic food from MASSACHUSETTS

    CHOW MEIN SANDWICH

    I’m a little sad that I’ve lived here so long and have never had a proper Chow Mein Sandwich. Don’t get me wrong, I think it sounds revolting…. but I need one. The sandwich originated in the 1930’s in Fall River. I think you’re supposed to use a fork and knife to eat it but forget that! I’ll grab that big sloppy boy and cram it right in my face hole all day. That is, if I ever get the joy.
