On the other hand, no one has felt the need to question the existence of a Richard Widmark memorial thread, on the basis that he didn’t really invent the roles that he acted in.
It’s also been suggested that Herb Peterson is somehow less deserving of posthumous respect than Heath Ledger was, which is bullshit. Did Heath Ledger ever make me breakfast? No.
Yes, but Widmark never cured one of my hangovers. Herb, on the other hand, has gotten me going on many a morning when I needed it. Egg McMuffin, Hashbrowns, Coffee (black), and a Goody’s Powder. Right little miracle cure there.
Assuming there’s a packaged Hollandaise sauce that has the right consistency. Mr. Petersen couldn’t find one so he used cheese instead.
It’s 2008! Hell, they got Bacon Salt! Why not a packet of faux Hollandaise? Food Science should be able to solve this one.
I’m usually not a huge advocate of this kind of thing, but man, I think a palatable hollandaise on an Egg Mcmuffin would improve that sandwich tenfold. Leave the cheese on, and just make the Hollandaise available to those who want it as a side. They could warm the cartons in a bowl of hot water and have them available. I suppose you wouldn’t want to compromise standards, but hell, they got preservatives and stabilizers in all of their other sauces.
I would just like to mention that I have never had an Egg McMuffin in my life. The sausage McMuffin with egg, however, is a whole different story.
They can split a Plutonium atom, but they can’t split a Hollandaise atom? Is Hollandaise like the cold fusion of the fast food world?
For the record, they actually do have a yellow sauce that resembles Hollandaise - they call it “bagel sauce” because it goes on the bagel Some five or six years ago the McDonald’s near here introduced an Eggs Benedict McMuffin, which was really just an Egg McMuffin with bagel sauce.
But ask for a side sometime and see if you like it. (if your McDonald’s hasn’t discontinued bagels…)
I know. The bastard just gave me a $20 for cab fare in the morning. And after all that “I wish I could quit you” talk the night before.
Just wanted to throw this in:
Boy, I dunno. In 1977 a buddy and I were at a convention where we had to wait in line to pick up free bus tickets at 8am several mornings running. They were really scarce (it turned out) and the first morning when we showed up at 8:10 they were all gone. Second morning we were there at seven and got the tickets, but got hungry waiting for an hour. Third morning on the way in one of us said, “Hey, McDonalds has breakfast now!” so we picked up a couple McMuffins to munch on while we waited. Others who were waiting breakfastless said we were smart; we just said not smart, experienced.
Point is, in 1977 it was not yet engraved into anyone’s mind that McD had breakfast. Maybe the Kingsport store was a test market.
