THE STARBUCKS MCMUFFIN ... !


Eureka! I've finally found something in the "pastry case" at Starbucks that looks even more repulsive than the Apple Fritter. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the "Sausage-Egg-Cheddar," an Egg McMuffin-like combination of scrambled eggs, sausage and cheese. I'm sure it's tasty, but presentation is everything and for some reason Starbucks seems intent on leaving a "display version" of this sandwich on the shelf for hours on end. The egg and cheese in the version pictured above had visibly congealed by the time I crossed its path and the meat sported a glistening coat of grease. If you ask me, they'd be better off just showing a picture of it on the menu rather than trying to display a sample alongside the baked goods.

  1. Perhaps they should take a tip from the Japanese and display a plastic model instead. Then, at least, you don't have to witness the gradual decomposition.

  2. Feeling sick, just looking at the displace.

  3. Yeah, that just looks nasty. And I have been known to eat a sausage McMuffin every once in a while...about once every five years or so.
