Book By Its Cover Review: Burger King Enormous Omelet Sandwich

I should preface this review by saying that I'm biased from the beginning. There is only one fast-food breakfast for me and that's the #3, I believe, Value Meal from McDonald's: has browns, sausage McMuffin and coffee. I was raised to be wary of junk food (except for Superdawg) and always believed that a fast food breakfast had to be disgusting. This was until I studied abroad in Italy for a year. One day, our class had to meet up at the Santa Maria Novella train station at some god-awful hour to go tour some stupid cathedral or museum or something. American-style coffee was hard to come by around there, and a friend of mine went into the McDonald's to purchase the McMuffin. I think I was starving, because something made me go for it as well. Well, that was it. The greasiness cures any queasiness, the warmth is comforting, the texture inviting to the bite, the coffee not bad at all, and best of all, it leaves a pleasant McMuffin taste in your mouth the rest of the morning.

Anyway.

Now Burger King, which I always pity because it seems like sort of the underdog, has the Enormal Omelet Sandwich: "Two slices of melted American cheese, two fluffy eggs, three crispy strips of bacon, and a sizzling sausage patty, piled high on a toasted bun."

Now if you break this all down, it doesn't sound too bad (although bacon on a sandwich can always be touch and go: if you can't bite it correctly then the pieces fall out of the sandwich.)

The thing is, this might just be too big for a sandwich. Two slices of cheese, three eggs, three pieces bacon, a sausage patty and a bun would take up a lot of room on a plate. They're going to cram this all onto a bun? While I'm sure the #3 from McDonald's is certainly not diet-friendly food, at least it can be eaten quickly, with minimum fuss. It sounds like it takes at least 3 hours to eat the Burger King sandwich.

Plus, I can see from the picture that the bun has sesame seeds on it and frankly, I hate that. Especially in the morning.
