I've had eggs on burgers many times at McDonalds in Japan and they've usually been not too bad.

I worked at McDonald's for three years throughout high school, they legit use real cracked eggs in McMuffins and bagged scrambled eggs for biscuits and breakfast platters.

This was over ten years ago tho, so things may have changed. They also used to have an actual hidden menu item called a Double Big Mac, but it's gone now.

I think it might have varied by location. I worked at McDonald's at about the same time, and we used cracked eggs and the milk carton stuff.

A lot of places also just poach the eggs instead of cooking them or something. I've done convenience store and restaurant work and I think there was like one place that didn't have a poacher. The disc with a rim of white and yellow in the middle can be easily achieved by an egg poacher and the things are easy to run. Just crack some eggs, put them in the circles, and turn the thing on. Give it a bit and hey poached eggs! Slap it on an English muffing with a sausage disc and some cheese and there you go, breakfast sandwiches.

I have to kind of wonder if that egg log was just the parts of the egg poached. One thing the places often did was just poach all the eggs in the morning in one go and refrigerate them. They kept for a while and could be reheated pretty easily without affecting how they tasted. Not like anybody cared much, it was quick and easy food on the way to work and tasted better than death.

Just ate something my sister called Pizza Salad. It was penne with some bland pasta sauce, ground beef, onions, peppers and pepperoni. It didn't taste like pizza. It didn't taste like much of anything at all. I'm not at all surprised her party had a shitton of left overs, this stuff is terrible. Not terrible as in tasting bad, but terrible as in being bland to the point where you start to question all your life's choices in the how and why that led up to anyone making this dish and thinking it was a good idea.

Pepperoni does not equal pizza, for gently caress's sake.

A pasta salad can be good with a better dressing, some herbs or rocket, salt, pepper and chilli. That will fix the bland problem, though I wouldn't put ground beef in one, that was dodgey and shouldn't be done for a "salad" either. But pasta, onion, peppers, herbs, spice, arugula, olives, feta, dressing and a crispy fried meat like prosciutto can make a decent "salad". e: I made this one a few years ago and it was pretty good http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/15302/artichoke+and+rocket+penne+with+feta

Ok, my Aussie friends, can I get a clarification on this? So you put pickled beets (or pickled beetroot, in your parlance) on your burgers? That sounds delightful. No weirder than us putting pickled cucumbers on ours, which is SOP for every fast food place.

I fuckin' love beets, pickled and plain; I could see putting a roasted beet slice on a burger, and would probably love it, but pickled beets suddenly makes more sense. And now I have a horrible craving for pickled beets. Here, at least in my part of the US, those are a side dish. eg, at a church picnic, you get a hamburger, some potato salad, and a few slices of pickled beets. No one puts 'em on their hamburgers, you put them on the side and watch as everything slowly turns magenta as the beet juice escapes and infiltrates the rest of your food, unless you've got the fancy Solo plates with dividers.
What have I been missing the last 40 years of my life by not putting them on burgers? :cry:

Yes, we often put slices of tinned beetroot on our burgers. It might be a different brine and we just call it tinned, not pickled, but it's essentially the same. It's a bit sweet, a little sour, and it has just enough bite to go nicely with the rest of the burger. We also like bacon, eggs, and pineapple on there, and mostly we use mild cheddar (we call it tasty) rather than the processed singles for the cheese. An Aussie burger with the lot is a confusing, delicious, sweet, messy, salty, greasy experience, perfect after a long night out or a day at the beach. That kiwi burger is missing the cooked onions too, which are pretty much standard here and also delicious. They do them up on the flat top so they cook in the accumulated grease and filth of the day's (or longer at sleazier joints) sausages and burgers, caramelizing really nicely and actually taking on a pretty nice sweet-onion-umami flavour profile.

Oh god that sounds delicious. Yeah, here in the US, what we call "pickled beets" --- at least among my NY ancestors --- are slices of beet done up in vinegar and sugar, with some spices like cloves and cinnamon added along with the salt so they're sweet and tangy and "spicy" (not hot, just have spices) at the same time. Maybe one can buy them like that in jars, but we've always made them from scratch.

Thanks for reminding me of the name "munchy box". I was trying to describe it to my partner yesterday but the best I could do was say pizza box full of fried things and maybe a salad.
At the time I was trying to describe how full I felt after a burger and fries we each had the other night as she ordered the large size. Afterwards I was going on about a munchy box size/ingredients but couldn't remember the name.
I can't even eat two small simple sandwiches normally, I always fail after 1 and 1/2 and she always taunts me by calling me a "two sandwich tryhard".

The tinned beetroot here is a lot plainer. I don't think there's any spice or herbs in it, they aren't as sharp as a pickle or anything.
Mainly just well cooked in vinegar, water, a bit of salt and sugar. They don't have a strong taste, just some prefer them to pickles (maybe because they are milder and go better with eggs?)

Roasted beets taste somewhat "earthy" to me as well - but in a good way. But you can relax and enjoy tinned beetroot in a burger because they don't taste anything like home cooked beets. They're almost a different food, so go on and enjoy.
Also when you cook beets at home next time, the younger they are the better, also add some flavour, like vinegar, garlic, thyme, S&P etc, wrap it up in foil and cook until just tender.
