Not to yuck other yum’s but I will. McD & BK use cheapass sausage. In fact, sometimes when I’m stuck with this for breakfast, on the road, I wonder if it’s even “real” sausage. If you want a good breakfast sausage go to Braum’s, Whataburger or DQ. Just my humble opinion.
I make both, but with cheese, the no veg oil kind. Even that, I fear, is short of perfection. Needs to be bacon fat. After Athur Treacher’s closed, FoF was my go-to. Sad day.
I just love an MM every work day, but prefer the cheese kind. I go oatmeal first. The MM is more brunchy.
Eastern potatoes generally contain more moisture than Western potatoes because of the soil. Eastern soil ( high in clay)holds more moisture while Western soil is more porous so the water percolates through it.
Greece was great for food! But it was even more hit or miss than most places I go to. I only got to stay for a couple weeks but Naxos is a good case in point. My first meal was at Su e Giu, 4.5 stars on Google, supposed to have good seafood. The mussels were so bad that when I tried to palm them off on a stray cat she grabbed the mussel, turned to run off, then spat it out like it was poison. She gave me a dirty look I will never forget and stalked away like affronted royalty.
Taverna Autentica on the water? Supposed to be the real deal? Souvlaki so salty I couldn’t eat it. And the locals next to me are gobbling it up like it is so delicious.
So I went off the water a couple days later and found To Souvlaki tou Makri. Husband and Wife team that made excellent souvlaki and were outstanding hosts! Great people! They saw me looking at a roulade type dish they were preparing and insisted that I try another one they had already made. It was pounded pork loin, some Greek cheese, minced pine nuts, oregano, just a hinto of minced olives, lemon (of course!) and garlic. Simply outstanding! I didn’t see it on their menu, they may have been preparing it for their family.
So I was thinking, stay away from the tourist places, find the local places. And went to the place most popular with the locals way back in Naxos Chora, and it was a smokey mess and my drunken pig dish (red wine and pork) was bland.
Then I ordered a cappuccino at a touristy place on the water and it was outstanding and the waiter gave me a tiny croissant with a touch of chocolate inside that was perfect.
So I can not seem to figure out how to pick a cafe in Greece, but the ones that are good are VERY GOOD.
Oh and I forgot the outstanding sheftalia (Cypriot sausage wrapped in caul fat) with grilled green chili peppers at Kozi and the perfect little lemon cake for desert at Plinthos!
Not fast food but definitely meals to remember!
