Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

They only started offering breakfast here some 5 or 6 years ago.Have still never eaten it - I can't quite see why or how I'd want a McDonalds breakfast.

You're basically only gonna want to get the McGriddles, the Egg McMuffin, or the hashbrowns. If you want anything else, just go to an IHOP.

 

[blotsfan]

I wouldn't eat the Egg McMuffin unless you want a big ball of butter.*


*I frequently want a big ball of butter.

 

[strawman]

There are probably people out there who don't realize that McDonald's once didn't serve breakfast.

There's 191 million people in the US, or 60% of the population, who were 5 years old or younger when McDonalds introduced breakfast in 1972.

So that's a pretty safe "probably" you've got there.

IHOP

Contrary to what their name would have you believe, IHOP is not really an international thing. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of one outside of the US (possibly Canada?)

But that offer of breakfast wasn't implemented across the board at that time. The oldest store in my town didn't start offering breakfast until the early 80's. Since most of our television came from Houston, everyone was like, "Why do they keep showing these commercials? Ours doesn't have breakfast."

 

[Celt Z]

I'm not really a fan of the McGriddle, but I like the Egg White Delight when I need something on-the-go. I also really liked the Grilled Chicken McWraps, but it seems not enough people in my area agreed with me.

 

[jwhouk]

The Egg McMuffin was a godsend for my mom, because I hated practically everything else on the McDonald's menu.

 

[GasBandit]

I used to really like the Bacon Egg and Cheese biscuit, but recently they changed their buttermilk biscuit recipe, and now the biscuit part tastes like a butter flavored (but still bone dry) kitchen sponge. Even the McGriddle isn't as good as it used to be. I think I said all this before.

 

[drawn_inward]

Imma let you finish, but Bojangles biscuits are the best chain biscuit of all time.

 

[fade]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits would like a word with you.

 

[GasBandit]

Chicken Express used to have the best biscuits, but they are crappy now, too. Makes me wonder if there's been an economic event that has made a crucial ingredient for buttermilk biscuits too expensive, and they're trying to make substitutions and now all buttermilk biscuits suck.

 

[GasBandit]

Just off the top of my head, have they changed the fat? Switching from lard/shortening/butter to something cheaper? Or changing the way they add the fat to make it faster/cheaper?

I don't know. Could be. All I know is it is drier, dustier, less tasty.

These are easy to make with Bisquick. I've made this copycat recipe, and they have the exact taste and texture of Red Lobster's

Nope. Just wasting 2 hours listening to 60 year old lawyers struggle with social media.

Or y'know, you could just buy the officially licensed product.

Those cheddar bay things are waaaaaay too salty.

And I love eating heaping bowlfuls of salt.

Interestingly enough, they have almost the exact same ingredients. But the Bisquick is about half the price. But you *do* need to add your own cheese and garlic.

I also think the Bisquick method is better, but some people just don't want the hassle.

I just finished up at the dentist, and they had to numb the left side of my face to do some work. Gosh, I can't wait to pick up Li'l Z at school feeling and sounding like Arseface. (Including occasional drool.)

Are those the garlicky ones??

Also, I could have sworn that McDonalds always had breakfast.

Maybe up in the Great White North, but the original McDonald's in Oak Park was only open from about 4 to 10 daily.

 

[Squidleybits]

Oh wow! I've been driving through for hash browns for longer than I should admit.

 

[jwhouk]

...oh, and the original McDonald's didn't have an indoor dining room, nor a "drive-thru".

 

[Squidleybits]

One of my French teachers had never been through a drive through until I corrupted her. She was all excited and took a bunch of selfies for her Facebook. I guess it wasn't a thing where she had lived before in France.

My whine: I only just clued in and remembered to put in my earrings after my MRI. I had to pretty much re-pierce my most recent one. I'd like to think that I have a strong stomach but it was pretty nasty.

 

[PatrThom]

Yesterday was my day off.
Good thing, too, since I spend the entire day in bed, sick.
Of course, now that I have to go back to work today, I've completely recovered.
Yaaaaaay...

It was in the mid-60's F yesterday, and right now we have blizzard conditions and are expecting about a foot of snow.

I've moved to Colorado, haven't I, @Dei ?

It's going to be 70 today and almost 80 tomorrow. I guess maybe you've moved to the ski towns, they might get snow this weekend.

 

[Cog]

One of the cats is sick. We don't know which one.

 

[blotsfan]

I'm sick. Of course this happens the one day I have a mini trip planned.

 

[Squidleybits]

Wow! Being honest about your kid's age for the DS E-shop is a lot of work. I spent ages setting him up so he could download and play a free game. I even had to have 50 cents charged to my credit card!!?! I guess that's their way of being sure a parent was consulted? Omg when I register my daughter, I'll put her age as 49.

What?! But if you do that, she won't end up in the kids-and-pedos-only parts of the forums and chat!

I was just gonna say that would probably protect her better than anything else.
