@InnocuousFarmer uh… more or less. Granted the eggs are pre-cooked and then frozen but otherwise yes. It depends on how you define Fresh I suppose. It wasn’t sitting in the back of the cooler for six months before I ate it.
@Pavlov you edit too much! And yes, relatively speaking it’s fresh. I feel like you’d be shocked by how much of what you might eat at a fancy five star sit down place is prepared in advance.
@jbartus I figured the entire thing was frozen and then nuked, just like those frozen Jimmy Dean sandwiches… if I wasn’t sure those were heart attacks in a box, and if they were cheaper, I would be tempted to eat them for breakfast every morning.
Anyways, I was wondering the same thing. “Ready-to-eat” seems to imply the grocery store’s freezer section, to me. Otherwise, of course it’s ready to eat. Right?
I’m not much for breakfast in general, but I enjoyed the McGriddles or whatever the fuck they were called from McDonalds once upon a time. Then I hit a piece of bone. Bit full force into it, painful as fuck. It put me off them for a while. When I tried them again, another piece of bone. No broken teeth, but it hurt even more that time. I haven’t eaten any sort of breakfast sandwich since. I wince just thinking about it.
@nogoodwithnames Yeah, I will only get bacon or meatless for McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches. And really, I generally do the breakfast platter instead of a sandwich.
Eggs (with whites) are gross and morning buttery muffins / buns make me nauseated. Why is it considered a good idea is beyond me. A part of a balanced and nutritious breakfast, along with 2 pounds of sugary cereal?
@serpent the incredible edible egg does not need your approval to continue being awesome and delicious, it will continue to do so for all of us non-heathens who appreciate it.
Does going to a bagel shop count? I don’t go to McDonalds, etc., but I do hit the bagel place from time to time.
One of the bagel shops in my town doesn’t actually have any sort of cooktop. Everything is microwaved–eggs, bacon, whatever. It’s kinda nasty. Floppy. At least Egg McMuffins start as an actual egg cracked into a ring onto a grill, I think.
Same place also sells “freshly poured” orange juice, which is not freshly squeezed (I asked), just poured into a to-go cup.
@currawong according to different sources they are either cooked just as you described or baked in rings which is what gives them their fluffy consistency. Either way, yes, fresh.
@currawong They cook them in rings on the cook top. At least they did when I worked there 35 years ago, and they appear to be unchanged. I love me some Egg McMuffins.
We love breakfast sandwiches. In about the time it takes to toast an English muffin I can scramble an egg and melt a cheese slice on top. That makes heating the frozen sausage patties up the critical path item so I have them pretty much done before I pop the first muffin into the toaster.
So I don’t need this thing cluttering my kitchen counter or my limited cabinet space.
If I have the time I’ll cook up some hash brown patties with the sausage (they take longer as I like them a little crispy)
I occasionally buy a breakfast burrito at our local coffee roaster. They are made fresh every morning. And it turns out they’re made by the wife of one of my coworkers at the job I started in June.
I’m not proud, but I’m such a bad sleeper that I tend to wake up too late in the morning to make my own breakfast. I used to pick up ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwiches from Dunkin’ Donuts on my way to work until I changed jobs. My new job has a cafeteria, which is nice, but the wait for a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich can be a bit. When it’s what you need, though, it’s worth it.
A quick trip to McDonald’s is standard for Saturdays when I know I’m going to travel a bit and burn a lot of calories, especially day hikes. I think it tastes “fast food good,” it’s an easy way to get lots of calories from a relatively small amount of food, and it’s convenient since there’s one on my way to the interstate. Supplemented with a protein shake, it seems to give me energy to burn.
For every day: I work from home, so I’ll usually have something simple/semi-healthy. But I have some Jimmy Dean sausage breakfast sandwiches in the freezer and will have one once every couple weeks or so because it sounds good.
Wawa breakfast sandwiches (except for the croissants- that’s just too damn messy) are very good, and the hash brown is tasty.
I also get some Dunkin’ Donuts sandwiches.
In the past year, I’ve also had the Lean Pockets breakfast sandwiches, and the ones with a muffin.
Does fast food cooked fresh for you count or are we only talking the pre-made frozen section of the grocery store kind?
@jbartus You’re overthinking the poll. And “fast food cooked fresh” - seriously???
@jbartus Fast food and fresh?
@InnocuousFarmer uh… more or less. Granted the eggs are pre-cooked and then frozen but otherwise yes. It depends on how you define Fresh I suppose. It wasn’t sitting in the back of the cooler for six months before I ate it.
@jbartus I’m with you. It is still fresh by my standards. At least for most fast food places.
@simplersimon I may even be mistaken on the freezing, it might just be refrigerated.
McDonalds bakes their eggs in-house (or cooks on the griddle depending who you hear from) so those are actually fresh!!

@InnocuousFarmer that was my thinking, in which case my answer is zero…
For those curious it is far cheaper to make your own and freeze them, and healthier!
@jbartus they mean egg mcmuffins I think
I’ve had a couple of Chick-fil-a chicken biscuits, but had them for lunch instead.
@ELUNO Chicken Egg and Cheese Biscuit is my go-to.

@simplersimon I’ve never had a problem with their sausage patties. o_O

I’ve had 2 in the past 10 years, and they were for dinner

Way too many to count. I have been known to live off c-store food.
I’ll admit I do like the steak, egg and cheese on an everything bagel from Panera.
Nothing frozen, but I do get a super sonic almost weekly.
Almost every weekday for most of the year. The gas station clerks know me.
@jestermx6 Sounds like the cardiologist will be knowing you before long.
@SSteve More than likely. Ironically enough, I used to work at a Heart Hospital/Clinic
@jestermx6 ❤️
This poll question made me laugh, although it was an easy answer: None.

Jimmy Dean sausage biscuits, a root beer and a pack of Marlboros from 7-11 when I was in high school about every morning.
This food isn’t anywhere close to health food. But I succumb once in a while.
