I frequent the McDonalds halfway to my work, as I go in early and nothing else is open. The original egg mcmuffin is one of the nastiest things i've ever eaten. I can sometimes get something with their scrambled egg on it, but not that egg white crap with a tiny sliver of ham? Who came up with that?? It's god-awful.
I get the sausage mcmuffn with no egg. And about pricing - the cost of a hash brown there is now comical. I swear, in just the past month, it's gone from 1.49 to 1.79 and now 1.99. Because of the deal they have, 1 hash brown now costs the same as 2 sausage mcmuffins.
Anyway, I usually toss the top half of the muffin out so the meat-to-bread ratio is better. If i'm feeling adventurous, I'll place the hash brown in the sausage mcmuffin - that's hearty. And heart diseasy.
