What Unique Foods Will The Big E Fair Feature In 2025?

Sure, The Big E has its cream puffs, livestock shows, and deep New England roots—but let’s be honest: most people are here for one reason, and it’s not the prize-winning cows. It’s the food. And not just any food, but weird food. The kind that dares you to take a bite and then immediately rethink your life choices. In 2025, the fair is doubling down on outrageous eats, from donut-bun burgers to deviled eggs stuffed with tacos.

Big E's New Food Vendors (2025)

** Dragon's Breath Nitro Treats - This new food attraction sounds like it could set your mouth on fire! The nitro-fueled frozen snack that doubles as a fog machine.

From Dragon’s Breath to Moo Bombs: The Freak Foods of The Big E

** Deep-Fried Ice Cream Sandwich - The goal is to ingest as much fat into your body as humanly possible! An ice cream sandwich gets dunked in batter, deep-fried crispy, and served hot, cold, and messy. It toes the line between gluttony and brilliance. You bite in, get hit with cold cream, then hot batter—like a food fight in your mouth.

** Cornbread Sundae & Moo‑Bombs - Cornbread scooped like ice cream, topped with sweet corn soft‑serve, hot honey, whipped cream—holy sugar crash. Then there’s the Moo‑Bomb: a waffle bowl gone rogue, swimming in custard, candy shell, and total chaos.

** Craz-E Double-Donut Burger - Picture this: bacon cheeseburger, smashed Angus patty, onion rings, all hugged between not one, but two glazed donuts. It's the multi-layer insulin spike from a nightmare you don’t want to wake up from.
