Aibu that you can't beat a McDonald's breakfast? Especially after a 13 hour night shift when you snuggle in bed and it's frosty and cold outside on a winters morning.
I know they are terribly unhealthy but a sausage and egg mcmuffin.. Yum!!
Aibu?
Am I being unreasonable?

All disgusting. Especially the hash browns.

I love a sausage and egg McMuffin with a hash brown. Yum. The snobbery amuses me; we also eat at expensive restaurants but everything has its time and place.
I can also highly recommend the cooked breakfast at The Ivy Cafe, Aqua Shard and the veggie one at Bills. That said, a McDonald's brekkie is hard to beat for the price.

I absolutely adore a really lovely farm shop brunch. Our local one does bacon and sourdough baguettes that are to die for. Their coffee is some of the best I’ve had with a barista who loves their coffee and really knowledgable. And their poached eggs are something I aspire to.
But give me a McDonald’s sausage and egg bagel (very missed) with double hash browns and a coffee and I’m one of the happiest people for the day. Especially on a freezing cold morning on a trip to somewhere.
I want one so badly.
Different food has its place.

When Spoons start offering Drive Through I'd agree with you.
But they don't.

McDonald’s breakfasts are the Roses or Quality Street of the breakfast world. Decidedly average & I cannot get excited about them.

I bloody love a sausage McMuffin (no egg though) and a hash brown with a Tropicana orange juice 👌
Kotatsu · 29/11/2021 14:05
They don't do the wraps where I am, I really miss the wraps.
Nothing wrong with a McMuffin, but having the hashbrown as an integral part of the breakfast mouthful really completed it for me.

@fantasmasgoria1
That's a good shout. Had many a spoons breakfast too.
AngelsWithSilverWings · 29/11/2021 14:04
I've never enjoyed a Macdonalds breakfast. I just don't find them tasty or appetising at all. I would eat an egg muffin if I had to but only if they remove the cheese slice.
Whenever I've had to have breakfast there I always order porridge and then for some odd reason they offer me a hash brown to go with it ( I can't stand hash browns).
The coffee is very good though.
I love a Big Mac or a filet of fish and would quite happily eat either for breakfast if they let me.
fantasmasgoria1 · 29/11/2021 14:02
I never go to mcdonalds. I would rather have a spoons breakfast.
jinglealltheway55 · 29/11/2021 14:00
I bloody love these threads and all the posho wannabes that come out claiming to only eat from farm shops. They are far too superior to contaminate their precious bodies with a chemically enhanced nugget 😂
Each to their own of course, but Christ some people need to live a little

For everyone having a farm shop breakfast, bully for you. Believe it or not there aren't many farm shop cafes in the city..

It amazes me the amount of unethical businesses that all the mums here will boycott but because Maccy D's is the ambrosia of the hungover gods people keep going there.
I borrowed this from Mr Google:
Pink slime McDonald's
"Pink slime" is slang for "ammonia-treated lean beef trimmings." It's an industrial food process by which edible meat parts that stick to the bone but can't be stripped by a knife are recovered by mechanical means and turned into a substance that can beef up burgers and plump up chicken products at lower cost.
You need to google better. McDonalds haven't used mechanically recovered 'pink slime' for a very long time now, and have never used it in the UK.
Love McD's breakfast, I can run all day on two hash browns and a sausage mcmuffin!
IncyWincyGrownUp · 29/11/2021 13:59
I used to love the sausage bagel and a hot sweet tea for a post-migraine recovery meal. With a handful of the appropriate medication and a nap afterwards it was truly therapeutic.

Sorry to be a bitter Sour Puss!
@AdmiralCain
No your not.
Sorry that is. You're definitely a bitter sour outside.

Because Google is such an ethical company. 🙄
BigFatLiar · 29/11/2021 13:57
Nothing wrong with a McD every now and then, we all deserve a guilty pleasure.
Sometimes we have a McD breakfast, sometimes a Toby all you can eat breakfast (usually results in OH spending the rest of the day sleeping in front of the telly).
WorkBitch · 29/11/2021 13:57
@Vermontfoliage
Yes!
Did that on Saturday on a rare child free breakfast
Almostmenopausal · 29/11/2021 13:56
@Wingutyoy
Haha OMG are you serious! Stop drinking so early in the day.
As I've already stated a few posts up, McD's produce their own RSPCA assured meat of which some is organic (as is their eggs) and do not put ANY additives in their food.
There are more additives in baked beans than a sausage muffin! (Minus the cheese slice)

@anniegun
Absolute nonsense! You've no idea what you're talking about
TurnUpTurnip · 29/11/2021 13:53
I’m not a fan of McDonald’s food but love their breakfast I prefer it to their normal food!
Almostmenopausal · 29/11/2021 13:52
@Hoppinggreen
I don’t really eat processed food
Except it isn't processed! 😆 The only processed food they sell is the cheese slices

Absolute hysterical nonsense! The 'pink slime' was an internet myth that was debunked about 12 years ago!
They produce their own meat at their own farms which are assured by the RSPCA. Their eggs are organic, as is the milk. The bread they use is warburtons and the ONLY addition to their burgers/sausage patties is salt & pepper. The chicken in the chicken nuggets is 100% ORGANIC chicken breast.......Honestly. People like you believe all the crappy myths

@PowerhouseOfTheCell
I can’t believe they still haven’t brought back the bacon and egg bagel 
truly the worst covid casualtyI loved the bacon & egg bagel! Our local McDonald's stopped doing them before covid & I had to swap the absolutely minging sausage out for bacon.
DD's friend works on McDonald's & has apparently reported my annoyance but they've still not brought it back!
Almostmenopausal · 29/11/2021 13:47
@Wingutyoy
, local farm shop café for me with home made sausages and fresh eggs.It's not processed crap actually. The eggs are organic, they produce their own meat. The only thing that is processed is the slice of processed cheese
Jibberjabberhutt · 29/11/2021 13:46
Also actual LOL at the “my gosh, I’ve never had one, they look vile,” posters.
Duck egg and iberico on brioche, freshly laid, sliced and baked at one’s local farm shop is not better.
When you want a Golden Arches for breakfast, it’s because you want a Golden Arches. Not just egg and bacon. You wouldn’t understand…
