Yesterday, Linda Wilson asked the following question in a comment on the MBIP facecrack page in reference to the latest MBIP McRib post:
Well, that’s an interesting question!
When I lived in New York from 1993 to 2012 I didn’t eat any fast food because there was so many tasty and cheap alternatives to choose from at deli’s and pizza parlors on every block. Since I’ve moved back to Peoria I’ve rarely eaten at McDonald’s so I don’t really know the answer to that question and it sparked an idea for a new Friday weekly post: “MBIP Eats McDonald’s.”
I thought that once a week, I’ll go to McDonald’s and get some items to sample and do this every week until I’ve tried every item on McDonald’s menu. Kind of an MBIP version of Super Size Me!
Here’s the menu:
I thought we’d start from the top, so this week we’ll try some of the breakfast items.
We’ll start off by trying out the three breakfast McMuffin sandwiches.
So it’s off to McDonald’s we go on this maiden voyage of MBIP Eats McDonald’s! I’m excited and also a little sick to my stomach!
Alright, here we go, inside of this bag are the three items from the McMuffin family.
I have to admit, I like how the wrappers identify who they are. And they are, clockwise from left: The Egg McMuffin, The Sausage McMuffin and the Sausage McMuffin With Egg.
Here are the breakfast sandwiches unwrapped and ready for the first bites to happen!
The First Bites
The Egg McMuffin: It was kind of tasteless and bland as I bit into it and sampled the first bite. Then I looked at the sandwich and saw that the yolk in the middle was sort of greenish and looked like a cross between a freshly picked booger and a hunk of bile reflux. Oof!
Wow, talk about your scary Green Eggs and Ham moments! This was quite upsetting and made it rough to move on to the next McMuffin sandwich, but I’m a professional and I just decided to move on.
The Sausage McMuffin: The meat in the Sausage McMuffin is like the sickening and stomach-turning first cousin to the McRib. It’s spongey and greasy and gross. As you can see the grease is soaked up in the bottom of the muffin and the only good thing about this breakfast sandwich is that there’s no booger/bile yolk in the middle of it.
The Sausage McMuffin With Egg: Oh no…the booger/bile yolk is back. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
This Week’s Digestible Rating (One Rolaids bottle is good, four is bad.)
None of these sandwiches are digestible and two of them (The Egg McMuffin and The Sausage McMuffin With Egg) are borderline vomit-inducing.
I’m wondering now if this series is such a good idea, but I’ll keep soldiering on in my efforts to see if anything at McDonald’s is digestible!
