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?

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.

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.

All disgusting. Especially the hash browns.

The morning of my wedding day, I had all my bridesmaids, they had set the table with the fanciest China for a girls wedding breakfast. Champagne in glasses. Little trays of fancy posh cut fruit. And McDonalds Sausage & egg McMuffin's with hash browns because they all knew it's my favourite breakfast in the world 😂😂😂

I don’t like the muffins and the flatbread thing is rock hard every time. The sandwhich things are naff too.

Bring back wraps and bagels!

@baffledcoconut I don't doubt it but to me sourdough bread tastes faintly of vomit and ruins the point of a bacon sandwich which in many cases is to settle your stomach. But it's all you can get round here these days so I make mine at home. Why do people mess about with things?

I'm scientific, Science required you doubt everything. Religion requires belief. I don't confuse the two. I don't believe in companies, I doubt most things, I require proof, Yes I doubt mcdonalds are the great company you say they are.
If you roll over and believe everything people say, well... You'll very quickly end up on the relationship board asking why all your partners treat you like a muggins (a foolish guilable person)

CityMumma78 · 29/11/2021 14:28

I love a McDonalds breakfast… you cannot beat a sausage and egg McMuffin its delish!

drpaddington · 29/11/2021 14:31

I miss the sausage and egg bagel! It had the most delicious creamy sauce.

ghostyslovesheets · 29/11/2021 14:33

This thread is brilliant - I especially like Enjoy a Mcbreakfast = your partner will cheat 'scientific' theory.

I love an egg Mcmuffin me

we don't all have lovely free range farm shops on our doorsteps - some of us are common!

Believing any old shite you read on Google doesn't seem very scientific to me.

Oh I hate google, with their Tax avoidance (Cough cough tax evasion) But sadly Ask Jeeves is not the search engine it once was!

Mushypeasandchipstogo · 29/11/2021 14:45

I’m with @AdmiralCain on this one , you would have to force feed me any type of McDonald’s and I’m not a healthy eater by any stretch of the imagination!

Pawprintpaper · 29/11/2021 14:50

Do they have cheese in though? Not sure about that

livelyredjellybean · 29/11/2021 14:52

I do love a McDonalds sausage and egg McMuffin. But it tastes just as good to make it at home!

Good for you, give yourself a medal.
jinglealltheway55 · 29/11/2021 14:54

@Pawprintpaper the cheese makes it, trust me

FredAstairesChair · 29/11/2021 14:56

Couldn't pay me to eat one

Tigger85 · 29/11/2021 14:56

Their breakfast foods are utterly vile, I would much rather be able to get a burger at any random time of day than have their breakfast items available untl 11am.

WeeWeeWeeeee · 29/11/2021 15:00

Unlike the rest of my family, I’m not keen on the McDonalds breakfast options. Burger King hash browns on the other hand…

@19lottie82

local farm shop café for me with home made sausages and fresh eggs

McDonalds use fresh eggs.

This. ^
BarbaraofSeville · 29/11/2021 15:08

I never have cheese in any of the breakfast items, because I don't like plastic cheese and don't think it goes with sausage or bacon.

My order used to be a Big Breakfast. Then it was either a sausage bagel, no cheese, or a breakfast wrap. They don't do any of them now.
