I'm pretty sure that for everything you can say about their other foods, McDonalds eggs are actually freshly cracked eggs cooked on the grill in a ring mold. They're probably overcooked, which would make them rubbery, but I don't think they're "egg product."

Yeah, nothing wrong with maccas eggs (at least down here). If that had a slice of tinned beetroot then it would be a "burger with the lot" that any independent burger restaurant will serve. I think even maccas sold an aussie burger like that (not sure, never tried one, it could have been burgerking/hungry jacks).
Seems a lot of people want an egg and slice of tinned beetroot in their burger in Australia.

Maybe time has worsened my memory of them, but I have nothing but awful memories of McDonalds eggs. I don't even mind their burgers that much, and if I'm feeling particularly lazy I'll grab a McChicken from them for lunch but that combination really doesn't sound appealing.

Legit shocked that they use real eggs though.

Also actual Loco Moco is the best poo poo ever. It's Hawaiian food so naturally it looks like some kind of horrifying food they'd serve in a cafeteria in a Disney Channel show, but like other Hawaiian food of its type it tastes like heaven.

I can guarantee that in practice, eggburger's eggs will be either cooked at a too-high temperature or held in a warmer, both of which will make them rubbery and gross on your burger.

Egg is awesome on burgers, but you just know they're going to screw up the execution.

They are. The scrambled eggs and the folded ones are the eggs that come in a milk carton. But the round eggs are from whole eggs, and like you said, cooked in a ring mold on the grill.

This is tater tot hot dish.


This is goulash.

I grew up with my dad making goulash with various ingredients a few times a week. Hot dish was typically for "fancier" occasions like when company was coming over or holidays or whatnot. I've never had a Christmas where hot dish was not eaten at some point, green bean hot dish being my absolute favorite. Anything that could be considered a casserole and is oven-baked in a glass or stoneware dish is a hot dish.

The cafeteria at the place I work serves tater tot hot dish, chicken wild rice hot dish, and chef's choice hot dish (leftover frozen veggies and bread/cheese topping) weekly. I remember eating tater tot hot dish in elementary school too.

Japanese McDonald's is bizarre in that it's wonderful. It's not a sad greyish burger cowering in the corner of the bag with limp lettuce sticking out of it like it tried halfheartedly to escape its prison but then gave up- the burgers look like the food stylist pictures on the menu. Flawless.

I wish you were real.
I just moved to the midwest and was introduced to "Party Potatoes" which is your typical hashbrown casserole with a couple cans of soup thrown in and topped with Kellogg's Corn Flakes. At first I was weirded out by potatoes topped with cereal, but it didn't taste bad. Probably because corn flakes are just..corn flakes. Would've been more awful with Frosted Flakes.

It's missing the tomato, and being McDonald's is probably that awful bread they use rather than a normal roll. Probably processed cheese too.

So, the one that looks like an ordinary pasta dish that anyone would eat is the plain everyday one, and the one made with tater tots is the special fancy one? :psyduck:

Definitely sucks. Way too bland. My mom used to make it for my brothers and I when we were younger. That and "Potato Chip Casserole" (egg noodles, ground beef, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, topped with crushed up sour cream and onion chips) were staples in our house growing up in Boston. /poor
