    IOW an Egg McMuffin.

    No, I prefer them as separate items. I'm not sure what kind of meat and cheese McD's uses but I don't care for the way they combine with the
    not so great egg on the muffin. We've made our own version from time to time, but I still would rather have the separate components.

    Mickey D's uses Canadian Bascon or breeakfast sausage as the meat, the cheese is "American" (mild Cheddar). The egg is just a hard-cooked egg done in a ring to make it round. The other fats food joints use
    pre-mix "scrambled" egg.

    I'd rather have a good extra sharp cheddar, slice of ham or sausage on
    the side and scrambled eggs, grits or wheat toast. Or, instead of the eggs, cheese and meat separate, an omelette with all of them or
    veggies.

    True enoough. But you're not running a highly profitables fats food
    store specialising in sandwiches. When I hake something like that as
    "hand food" I'll use Cheddar, Co-jack, Colby, Ementhal (Swiss), or a
    slice of pepper-Jack. If not doing sausage I'll do crispy cooked "real"
    bacon.

    I really like this recipe - but I don't make it often since I don't
    drink beer at home and the other 5 cans of a six-pack take a lot of valuable space in the icebox.


    Title: Brussels Sprouts in Beer
    Categories: Five, Vegetables, Beer
    Yield: 2 Servings

    I like Brussels sprouts, most of the time roasted, with a drizzle of of balsamic vinegar and tossed with crumbled bacon. The only way Steve
    will eat them is thin shaved in a kale salad mix we've found at Sam's
    Club and Wegman's.

    I always figured they were some sort of dwarf cabbage. I like 'em
    baked, broiled, fried, steamed, boilede, etc. Whole or halved. Never trie4d (that I know of) shaved.

    Check out some of the prepackaged salad mixes; that's where we find the shaved sprouts.

    I buy the salad bags sometimes when they're on special offer. They sare
    mostly chopped lettuce, maybe some shredded carrot and little else. On
    some evenings I'll slice a few radishes, dice a tomato and dump them &
    a bag of premix "salad" into a big serving bowl and pour the dressing on.

    Then chow down and make that supper on its own. Or, I might do this:
    (halved if I'm by myself)

    Hi Dave,

    I'd rather have a good extra sharp cheddar, slice of ham or sausage on
    the side and scrambled eggs, grits or wheat toast. Or, instead of the eggs, cheese and meat separate, an omelette with all of them or
    veggies.

    Read the ingredients listing. Usually the sweet kale or lemon kale mixes
    have the brussels sprouts.
