For years I was a road warrior, computer support in the mainframe days.
Stopped at a Hardee's for breakfast just before 10. Service was slow, and while standing in line I saw some kiD with zits take all the breakfast biscuits off the line and throw them in the trash at 10:00 AM.

FUCK! And told the manager, who had just outgrown zits how fucking stupid that is.

fixed. ;)


*(Just be sure to ask for "round-eggs" to bypass the powdered version!)

Nope. There is nothing good at all about a McD breakfast!
The "sausage" is hideous, the bacon is crappy and breakfast eggs need to have runny yokes!
I can go a sloppy McD burger if I'm in the mood but the breakfasts are terrible! Theres a bunch of salmonella vans that throw out much better breakfast buns.

Maybe yours sucks over there. McDonalds breakfast is one of my favorite breakfasts. I'd take it over any fastfood of any kind, but only during breakfast hours. I think they still have that all day breakfast thing going, but the stuff isn't as good in the off hours.

Do they have those shitty flat sausages? The ones that are dry and taste of dubious herbs? Are their eggs over there over cooked? Can you order them as eggs should be served? And the bacon isnt bacony enough!

Any fast food place should be way better than that.

Sausages are flat, but definitely not dry. I like my eggs well done, so I'm not the best judge, but they aren't dry at all; just no runny parts. Not sure about the bacon. I don't typically get it, but I'd call it 'good enough', not the best I've had. It's at least the equal to other fastfood bacon.

I don't want runny eggs on a sandwich! That makes it a fucking disaster, and I end up with crap everywhere. Sandwiches are supposed to be easy and clean. That's why meatball subs are an abomination. Whoever invented them was clearly unfamiliar with the concept of a sandwich, and should be kicked in the balls.

You're wrong. McDonald's sausage egg McMuffin is one of the best fast-food breakfast sandwich. Add order of hash browns and it's near perfect fast-food breakfast combo.

And I will defend American breakfast sausage patties. Sure it's not what you're used to if you're not from the US. But the sausage itself is not bad and uses simple ingredients. It's different style sausage. That doesn't make it bad. If you ever made sausage from scratch, you would know American breakfast sausage brand like Jimmy Dean isn't horrible. It's different. It doesn't mean you have to love it, but you can appreciate and respect the difference.

McDonalds Sausage Egg & Cheese or the Egg McMuffin with some hash browns are decadent breakfast sandwich goodness. You gotta get the hash browns with the sandwich it's a match made in heaven. Just add ketchup.

I'm fine with a lorne sausage, I prefer a good regular one for a few reasons, but a good lorne sausage is fine.
The thing is McDonalds don't have a good flat sausage. They have terrible sausage.

Personally I'm a big fan of the sausage biscuit w/egg but sausage McMuffins are good too!

Heck I even like the McGriddles so what do I know! :D

All I can think is that you guys are desperately short of good sausage in your lives! ;)

Premio Italian sausage


And their coffee is shit, too.


There I have zero argument McDog's coffee is vile .... weird too because for awhile it had actually gotten much better when they had "Newman's Own" branded stuff.
