I had a breakfast sandwich with a hash brown "thing" and a cup of
coffee from the Mc yesterday. It tasted good and surprisingly the
coffee was really good. Only eat there if traveling and need quick
food. Otherwise we never eat at fast food joints... well unless we
need fast food which is rarely.

When I had my first eye surgery before Christmas my brother and
I stopped at McDonald's after leaving the facility. We had the
sausage, egg McMuffin and coffee and yes, their coffee is really
quite good. The sandwich and coffee were especially good I thought
since I'd not had anything to eat since before midnight.

When I was working, Thursday was McD breakfast for me and Sue, the
office manager. I'd stop on the way in and she had the coffee ready.

Wednesday was Ray's onion bagels, Friday she brought donuts.

Now it is quarterly, after I stop for blood work, I go to McDs.

A few years back we were on our way to Ottawa and at a McDs mainly to
use the washroom. I had been hearing that their coffee was good so
figured I would get one and a pain pain au chocolate to go. I was
surprised that the pastry was pretty good. Then I had a sip of the
coffee and I was really impressed.

When I went to Georgia we had hit the road around 5am and we stopped at
one near Pittsburg. I had a breakfast burrito and a coffee. The burrito
was better than I had expected. It was tiny.

Always a good plan to go for the greasy breakfast after the blood work.
I always behave myself before going for blood work. There are always
lots of people going early for their fasting blood work. I can forgo
breakfast for a while so I don't have to wait so long, but I figure I
deserve a good hearty unhealthy brekkie after I am finished.

I've never had their breakfast burrito, but yes, their coffee is very,
very good. I've not had their pancakes either as the few times I
visit, I always opt for the sausage, cheese, egg McMuffin.

You're lucky you didn't see the ingredient list.

Only in an American food newsgroup will people be discussing the
various McDonalds offerings. Aww.

The grandkids like going to McDonald's. We go there most days after we pick them up from school. I'm not sure why they like the food so much. Maybe because it's simple and easy to understand. Maybe they find the building inviting with tables built to their scale. Anyway, I've had it up to here with those burgers. I bought a box of 13 chocolate chip cookies yesterday. They were quite good - soft and chewy with a lot of melted chips. I can't say how they make their cookies with melted chips. It was quite messy to eat. I think I'm going to have to get some more!

We get the regular drip coffee on road trips for a little dose of
caffeine. It's nowhere near as good as what we have at home, and we
don't buy super pricey coffee. We buy Cameron's light roast when it's
BOGO at the grocery store.

The burritos are edible if you get *at least* two salsas for each
burrito. They come frozen from a factory. They aren't the worst thing
McD's sells. That honor goes to the Big Mac. The hash brown patties
are pretty bad too.

The McMuffins are pretty good. As for the coffee, it's OK, but how you
would judge coffee, I don't know. As recently as a few years ago, you
were putting non-dairy "creamer" in yours, which is just one or two
steps above eating roadkill. Up until recently, the sausage and cheese
McMuffins were 2 for $2.29, but ONE sausage, egg and cheese McMuffin was
significantly more than $2.29. That's one pricey egg.

I've been to McDonalds, round about 1982 or was it '83?

It was late, I was hungry and jet-lagged, and they were open.
Never again.

Egg McMuffin is good stuff! On the very rare occasions that I need to eat
breakfast at a McDonalds, that's my choice. Otherwise I go to McDonalds
about once every 2 months or so, and the staple is 1 double cheese burger
+ 1 hamburger + carrots. Both healthy _and_ nutritious!

The last things I've had there are ice cream and French fries. They
were ok. Of course, in the US they're allowed to add a lot more gunk
to food.

When I first started working on the road I ate there a couple times. It
was a bad mistake. That's about 46 years ago now and I think I may have
been there maybe a total of a dozen times. I had been hearing how good
their coffee was but it took me years to build up the courage to try it,
and as I said, I went mainly because I really needed to use their
washroom. I was surprised how good their coffee was.
I think that was about 10 years ago. About a year ago I was coming
back from an airport run and was famished and low on time. I stopped at
a McDs and got a hamburger. I had low expectations so I was not
surprised that they failed to meet even those. I didn't get sick or
anything. I have not been desperate to go back for another. I can't
understand how there can be people out there who actually like that stuff.

Blood work measures accumulated serum levels, not spot readings, dummy.

The school system indoctrinates children early into processed foods and
junk calories - all while claiming to offer a juice box of redemption,
and some apple sauce...uh huh...
