Review: McDonald's - Sausage McMuffin

McDonald's Sausage McMuffin is a staple underpinning their Breakfast Dollar menu. It is simply a toasted English muffin, with a sausage patty, and cheese for $1. There's also a bit of liquid margarine in there somewhere (I just learned that now).

Burger King's BK Breakfast Muffin is a copy of the Sausage McMuffin except with egg at the same price (Yes, McDonald's also sells a Sausage McMuffin with Egg but it costs more). On a side note, am I the only one who pictures a blueberry muffin (or the like) when I read "Breakfast Muffin?"

Unlike more cluttered sandwiches, you get a good taste of fast food American cheese in the Sausage McMuffin. The cheese isn't really necessary though; the sausage is plenty salty and has a nice bit of peppery-ness that I enjoy. I would rather have an egg over a slice of cheese.

The English Muffin, like every fast food English Muffin I've had, was soft and a bit chewy despite a bit of charring from toasting. Still, I'm not displeased by the Sausage McMuffin; it's not really something you can really screw up.
