Straight off McDonald's new Breakfast Value Menu (new in prices, the items are taken from the regular menu) is the Sausage Biscuit. Simplicity in itself, it's a grilled sausage patty in a warm biscuit for $1.
My first impression on taking it out of its waxed paper wrapper is that it's a bit on the oily side. My fingers had a sheen from holding it. Maybe they brushed it with a lot of margarine before cooking or reheating (whichever one they do). On the plus side, you don't have to worry about it being dry... Be sure to get some extra napkins, you're going to need them to wipe the oil off your fingers.
The biscuit tasted good other than the greasy feel on your fingers but I guess that's what the wrapper is for. The sausage is a just bit on the salty side and could use another note of flavor, maybe some more pepper or some garlic. Still, it's a cheap, simple breakfast for when you're not asking for much.
I'd probably get it again for the one or two times a year that I just want a greasy sausage biscuit. Anymore than that and I think I'd get sick.
