BreakfastWIMB: Teensy bit hungover this morning, drive to work took no time, so I go

[PSRB]

to the McDonald's in Dartford with the intention of having a Sausage & Egg McMuffin. However, when perusing the options, I see a Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel and - on a whim - go for that instead.

Report: Not bad. However, for some reason they've opted for the weird omelette sh1t rather than an actual egg. One the plus side, however, there seems to be more cheese than on the McMuffin. The bagel itself holds together well and has a pleasant texture. Also, unlike the muffin, all those bits of semolina sh1t don't fall off it. However, the hole in the middle means melty cheese and grease escape, making it unwieldy and messy to handle for the unwary. Napkins essential.

Summary: The Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel: Is it better than the McMuffin? No, not quite.
Is it worth an occasional foray for the sake of variety? Absolutely.

Bagels are just wrong, b. Taste and texture of stale bread

Bagels are magnificent, once toasted. Pre-toasting, just a load of old ****e.

But they're missing a great chunk! Not a patch on fresh white loaf

Yes. But in this instance, the sturdiness of the bagel meant it could soak up a lot of grease, which made the whole thing structurally sound. The hole is an issue, however. If they made the bagel without the hole, it would be better.
