McGriddles were never quote-unquote “roundly derided” because, in fact, they are fucking delicious.
The rest of your lies are equally easily dispatched. In addition to the bacon, egg & cheeze biscuit, there is also beef wellington and pretzel dogs. All of these are God’s own repasts.
Marry me.
Never tried a lamb samosa, have you?
Soul food is poor to working class Southern food. I’m white and was raised on the stuff.
What’s a pretzel dog?
I used to respect your opinion, but now I just… I just can’t.
So corn dogs are simply the food of the gods. I have no idea whose idea it was to take mystery meat then wrap it in fried batter, but I do know that man or woman was a genius.
As far as real food goes, come on! This OP is coming from someone who has clearly never had an empanada, Caribbean style patty, samosa, pierogi, or any other variation of meat inside of a bready thing. These things are freaking delicious. A few weeks ago I had a chicken bastilla dish, which basically a flaky sweetbread with chicken and an egg inside, that completely rocked my socks.
Damn it, now I’m hungry. :mad:
Thanks for the info. I grew up in a nearly all-white area of the Pacific Northwest, and tend to see soul food restaurants in predominantly black neighborhoods where I live now, so apparently made a mistaken association between the cuisine and the ethnicity.
Psst I live in Trinidad there are guys driving around with baskets on bikes selling beef pies, which again are fillo dough not even close to a donut or pancake.
Meat in BREAD is about the farthest thing from a donut burger I can imagine.
So, then, you agree that your OP’s statement that ‘meat + pastry is horrible’ is ridiculous?
Because filo? That’s pastry.
Donuts and pancakes? They are not.
Yeah, the subject line of the OP is quite contrary to the content, but it’s pretty easy to suss out what grude is on about: the combination of bread-like items that are usually sweet or associated with sweet with savory middles. The Krispy Kreme donut is overkill, but those maple pancakes with sausage in the middle? Those are decent. I’ve never heard of them as being “roundly derided.” The only reason I don’t order them more often if I’m at McDonald’s at breakfast is because I’m a straight-up Egg McMuffin kind of guy, and it saves me over a hundred calories vs any of the McGriddles they offer. Like I said, I used to make my own version of them as a kid with pancakes, breakfast links, and maple syrup.
I didn’t know how else to describe the horrifying trend destroying western civilization.
Meat+desert foods? Meat+maplesyrup pancakes waffles and donuts? Help me out.
EDIT:Did they alter the McGriddle?
When I tried it the buns had pockets of liquid maple syrup in spots, you’d bite into one and the syrup would squirt into your mouth like a pustule or something. It also made the buns soggy, seems they removed the worst element.
Count me in as one of the people who loves the McGriddle. I know its horrible, and I couldn’t eat one every day, but if I’m having a MickyD breakfast, that’s what I’m ordering.
At home, pancakes with real maple syrup and bacon are a weekend treat. Swirling the bacon through the tiny bit of maple syrup that escapes from the pancake just adds a layer of delicious.
Meat and pastry… I don’t understand the objection. So many yummy ways to combine them. Jamaican Patties, Beef Wellington, Cornish pasties…
OK. Gotta find that. 
First you take a hot dog. Then you lovingly ensconce it in a soft pretzel. Then you add mustard and WALLAH exquisitely simple genius!
Empanadas!
Crepes!
Runzas!
I get pierogies on Tuesday. Homemade. From my Polish grandmother’s recipe. 
(Only these have mashed potatos and onions) Still…best food ever. Seriously. You’d weep.
That sounds like it would work. I think I’d want to play with the salt proportions, though…most hot dogs seem plenty salty to me.
I was picturing something along the lines of a giant pretzel rod, inserted into a hot dog (the long way) and then possibly batter coated and deep fried. Something like a corn dog with an edible stick.
Wait a minute! There are people in this world who eat bacon with out first dipping it in the maple syrup? Wow…
Also, I love the Mcgriddles. I had no idea there was much hate for them.
