While hanging out with Starlight Glimmer, Eric Reed blurted out that he thought Rarity is a large ham, due to her habit of being overdramatic. As per his luck, Rarity happened to be in earshot and did not like what her human friend called her, albeit for reasons Eric didn't mean.
However, even if Eric tried explaining what he really meant by "large ham", Rarity might not take that answer well either.
This story is one of a still-growing series of stories that all take place after A Giant Adventure to Equestria. However, it is not necessary to read any of them to understand this story, but "A Giant Adventure to Equestria" does show the details of how and why the human OC Eric Reed is in Equestria even if the story isn't that great by my standards and improved writing abilities now.
If you enjoy this story and would be interested to check any of the other stories with Eric, you can find the list of all current ones here.
Oh my this was hilarious
Especially the twist at the end with Rarity hamming it up on Starlight instead
Cheers, mate!
Haha This made my day
1:40 against Starlight escaping unscathed.
Glim-Glam is doomed.
Also if Rarity gets angry enough for steam to come out her ears, would she technically be considered a steamed ham?

Hams are usually 'smoked'.
now I want hayburger lol
this was great!
Someone, possibly even Eric, will probably eventually explain to Rarity that being a ‘large ham’ isn’t even automatically a bad thing; after all, actors on an actual stage in particular do need to be seen and heard by their audience, including the folk in the back rows, and even in movies and TV, where it’s easier to work with microphones and do after-the-fact editing as needed, some are definitely still fan favorites precisely for their hamminess.
Starlight will just have to stop squirming first.
Ah. zee meat is not being mentioned?
Silly Eric! Rarity's not a ham! She's a swan! Elegant, regale, beautiful, adorable! Dangerous, Batshit crazy.
Besides we all know that Ponkers is the ham.
Oink oink!
Good thing he didn't delve too far into the possible word origins, or he might have also led Rarity to believe she needed to use ham fat to remove all her makeup.

Than again, even if they did, it wouldn't have done much anyway, since Eric was saying Rarity is in large ham as part of her actual personality. Telling Rarity's voice actress that's she is a large ham with her performance as Rarity and how she (Rarity) can be a drama queen would probably flatter her, since that's what she going for. But telling the woman that she is a drama queen would probably get you a very different, but possibly hilarious to anyone but you, reaction.

What do you mean?

Don't let Rarity found out that part in your spoilers, or else!
But now that I think of it, Pinkie is a bit of a large ham herself with some of her antics. Why didn't I think of that before?
Oink oink oink

I didn't know about that other meaning of "ham it up." I doubt Rarity would have ever tried it, unless she was really, really desperate, or lost a bet.

Nah, Rarity is still a hickory-smoked ham. Pinkie is just bubbly.
