McDonald's breakfast - WHATS THE BIG DEAL?

BLUESEAPARADISE · 26/08/2017 16:27

I had my first ever McDonald's breakfast today as I was very early for DS hospital appointment .. I tried a sausage and egg mcmuffin and pancake .. I was so excited to try it as I have heard so many good things about McDonald's breakfast but I personally didn't think it didn't taste very nice ... I was very disappointed and hungry!

Did I ask for the wrong thing? I was the only one in McDonald's at the time when I ordered and didn't want to seem seem like I didn't know what I was doing ( I was clueless!) ! So i "confidently" asked the first thing I could see on the menu! BlushBlush

The thought of a Sausage and egg mcmuffin with a hash brown is what gets me through the last three hours of a night shift. Nothing else cuts it after a difficult night if I want to survive the drive home

BLUESPARADISE just read your later post- hope DS is ok? Flowers

I'm the freak that orders a bacon and egg mcmuffin, a sausage and egg mcmuffin and a pancakes and sausage meal with an extra syrup. And yes, I eat the lot and yes I do actually pour my syrup over my sausage and it actually tastes fucking epic.

I do not do this every day. I do not do this every week.
I have a McDonald's breakfast maybe 3 times a year, so I like to make the most of it........

God I probably sound like a right greedy bastard. Actually, I am a right greedy bastard. Fuck it!!Shock

Yes if you are hungover or starving a McDonald's breakfast is fabulous.

But if sober and just reasonably hungry for breakfast then Bill's.

Actually, eating American biscuits with gravy is the least common way of eating them in the US. They are most likely eaten like a dinner roll with lunch or dinner, especially in the South where they originated, or for breakfast, like pastry with butter and jam or honey, or filled with bacon and/or egg and/or cheese, or my personal favorite, salty country ham.

McDonald's makes very good ones, very like the ones my grandmother from Georgia used to make.

Perfect breakfast after a night shift. Love the Hash Browns.

bellalou1234 · 26/08/2017 17:31

They are literally my favourite food! Sausage egg mcmuffin amazing 😉

winglesspegasus · 26/08/2017 17:31

real icecream is a much nicer hangover cure
its fat content no really grease.dairy fat works just as well

RidingWindhorses · 26/08/2017 17:31

I absolutely hate McDonalds and junk food generally, but I do think their breakfast looks particularly disgusting. So no, you're not BU.

EmpressoftheMundane · 26/08/2017 17:32

seneca you cannot get an American style biscuit anywhere in the UK, not even at KFC! Imagine KFC without biscuits.

Elphame · 26/08/2017 17:34

Not the least bit U. I had an egg mcmuffin a few months ago whilst staying at a Travelodge . It was foul and most of it went in the bin.

Babyiwantabump · 26/08/2017 17:35

Double Sausage and egg mcmuffin and extra hash brown and orange juice is my favourite on way home from night shift treat!

Aeroflotgirl · 26/08/2017 17:35

I never liked the idea of a MacDonalds breakfast, seeing the pictures, they don't look very appitising. Would rather wait until 10:30 for their lunch menu.

BabychamSocialist · 26/08/2017 17:36

Sorry, but there's nothing on Earth like a Sausage and Egg McMuffin with McDonald's hash browns.

I eat them (as a treat) even when sober!

Aeroflotgirl · 26/08/2017 17:36

My idea of a nice breakfast, is a fry up.

WhispersOfWickedness · 26/08/2017 17:36

Ok, while we're on the topic of American biscuits, I've got to ask. Do they go soggy in the gravy as that is what really puts me off about them...

Katedotness1963 · 26/08/2017 17:37

My knowledge of biscuits and gravy comes from visiting the in laws in Florida and going to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. It was my favourite thing on the menu. I also learned of the wonderfulness that it sweet potato butter at Cracker Barrel....I haven't tasted that in years...

BLUESEAPARADISE · 26/08/2017 17:38

@WhispersOfWickedness good question!

Also do they eat them hot or cold? Ot just hot or just cold? ( including the gravy)

No no they still do it! You just have to ask for it as it's not on the main menu - it's DS2's favourite if we go!

BillBrysonsBeard · 26/08/2017 17:40

I have a sausage mcmuffin without egg, a bacon roll and some hash browns.. oh and a mocha. I love the taste! I know there are tastier things out there but it just satisfies my carby, sugary needs that I have sometimes Grin
Thinking about it though I probably only have them twice a year!

BarbaraOcumbungles · 26/08/2017 17:41

It's good job McDonald's don't serve breakfasts at this time of day or I'd be heading there now and blaming you lot!

Sausage and egg mcmuffin with 2 hash browns with salt on and a coffee. Heaven!

BabychamSocialist · 26/08/2017 17:41

AllergictoIroning

Actually we haven't been in over a year and they've stopped doing it! DS2 will be devastated!

SenecaFalls · 26/08/2017 17:49

Imagine KFC without biscuits. Shocking, I agree.

Biscuits and gravy: the gravy has to be hot. Pretty disgusting otherwise, in my opinion. On the other hand, my grandmother used to say the the true measure of a biscuit is how it tastes cold.

silkpyjamasallday · 26/08/2017 17:52

I want a maccys breakfast so badly now Angry my first ever one was after DP and I had our first date, we had stayed up all night dancing and it was a well appreciated meal at 6 am. DP always has three sausage egg mcmuffins in one sitting Shock

expatinscotland · 26/08/2017 17:53

YABU. The coffee is delicious. So are the hashbrowns, the Egg McMuffin, the pancakes . . . all of it. YUM.
