> [@pugluvr](#): > > Wait, wait - back up! Subway’s has a breakfast sandwich? In the US, at least, it’s truly horrid. I’ve ranted about it in another thread, but here’s the short version: Frozen disk of sausage, frozen disk of scrambled egg, nuked, then put on a cold bun with a slice of cheese. Yecch. Vile. ---

> [@Dragwyr](#): > > So how come they aren’t advertising this stuff? If I had known they were available I would have twice as much cholesterol in my arteries as I do right now. I think that’s exactly why. McDonald’s is under fire for how unhealthy their food is, and they’re trying to clean up their image. Of course, you can still get the greasebombs if you know the code. ---

You people disgust me. Anyone who chooses the Bagel version of these treats over the McGriddle version are the heathen, hateful Sunni to my blissful, peace loving Shiite. You all must be cleansed. > [@JSexton](#): > > All right. I’m letting the cat out of the bag. Go to McDonald’s, and order a Morning Mac. You heard me. > > You get muffin, cheese,sausage, cheese, sausage, egg, muffin. Double, baby. You just gotta know the code. Now, please tell me the code for the McGriddle Version of the Morning Mac! Replace those pesky Muffins with Mapley goodness and we’re set, and we need to squeeze some bacon on there somehow. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Now, please tell me the code for the McGriddle Version of the Morning Mac! Replace those pesky Muffins with Mapley goodness and we’re set, and we need to squeeze some bacon on there somehow. You’re on to something there. I know of no method, but clearly something has to be done. I think it’s also essential to replace the McGriddle scrambled egg with the McMuffin poached egg. So, McGriddle bun, cheese, sausage, cheese, sausage, bacon, egg, McGriddle bun? Have we achieved nirvana? I’d have thought ranch dressing would be involved in the perfect cardiac-arrest-inducing sammich, but maybe that will have to wait for lunch. Hmm. What if we took that whole thing and cooked it Monte Cristo-style? My heart hurts. ---

I prefer the new raw pork McGriddle. Everything you love about pork, without all the cooking baggage! ---

Mmmmmm… bacon and egg bagel… _drools_ In all seriousness, that’s my hangover food. ---

I prefer the steak bagel myself. Well, actually, I love the steak and onions, but I hate that bagel. It’s stale and chewy and yuck… I stick with the original Egg McMuffin ™, still never improved upon. ---

Okay, I’m throwing this back to an early thread post, but I feel obliged to relate. During finals week last semester, my friend and I found that we have a 24 hour McDonald’s drive-thru nearby. So, every night that week, we went and got ungodly amounts of double cheeseburgers (yes, the cheap menu ones). Its a strange feeling to have the the girl taking your order asking if you’re serious that you want thirteen double cheeseburgers. ---

> [@Omniscient](#): > > Hollandaise Sauce perhaps? Didn’t they have something like that at one point? I don’t know if I want McDonald’s version of Hollandaise, frankly. I’ll bring some of Busick Court’s curried Hollandaise with me, though. (Hijack: Anyone watch Rachael Ray’s $40 a day show about Salem, Oregon? Her featured breakfast was at Busick Court, which is my regular Sunday breakfast spot. Woot!) ---

> [@MagicEyes](#): > > I have the same feelings for Bojangles Chicken Biscuits. They’re greasy and they have a weird aftertaste, but I’m so addicted. I feel sluggish all day after I eat one. But I’d rather eat them than the much better biscuits from Southern Biscuit Kitchen, just because Bojangles chicken is a little spicy. Then you add in fries with lots of cajun seasoning (enough to make your mouth tingle) and a big cup of sweet tea with real lemon. Bojangles’ biscuits are the best. Of any sort. And you can get that breakfasty goodness at any time of day, unlike with the other fast-food chains. The chicken biscuits and the cajun fries (I generally borrow their cajun-seasoning shaker, and double the amount of seasoning) are more of a lunch/dinner thing, but they’re damned good. ---

Mmmmm,yeah. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that you can get that biscuity goodness any time, though. I eat at Bojangles way too often. I’ve been cutting back, though. Don’t they have a 12-step group for Bojangles addicts? But double the cajun seasoning–that’s kinda wimpy. I like it with lots and lots of seasoning–pour it on, baby! If my lips aren’t tingling, it’s not enough. And don’t forget to finish it off with a cinnamon pecan twist. ME ---
