are shrimp burgers popular?

The shrimp burger is my favourite. You can get a double patty deep fried shrimp burger for about $3, comes with lettuce and the same sauce as on the filet o fish.

So good when it's fresh out of the fryer. Definitely popular.

wtf is happening in korea, they can't grow potatoes

Korean potatoes suck and would suck hard for fries. The ones they use for that kind of stuff (and chips) are all imported and since growing season are getting all fucky due to higher temps there has been shortages.

It's frustrating the USA menu is so stagnant. They come up with good sandwiches in other parts of the world that should be offered here, or they could just bring back all-day breakfast!

It's expected in Japan. It's not just McDonalds. All the fast food chains, convenience stores, pizza shops etc are constantly putting out new, seasonal items. It's a mixed blessing - you always get to try something new, but occasionally you come across something you really really like, and it's gone in a few weeks never to return.

i mean theres also logistics, japan is the size of california, if all the in n outs in cali started to offer cool shit, it'd be easier, but then to do that nationwide would be impossible and monthly, and then theres the training for a new menu item, which might be as simple as nuking or frying some extra shit and putting on limited time sauce, or super involved, i mean mcdonalds is the place that makes scrambled eggs with this thing

Covid killed all day breakfast. However, the reason we don't get a lot of cool shit is most likely sourcing all those ingredients for the shitload of McD's we have in the states compared to the amount in other countries. Also blame the shitty palettes of most of the US who don't even try new shit when it comes out.

I mean, they are square so they fit on the sammies. It is just bagged pre scrambled eggs. If you want fresh cracked you ask for the round ones. It's not like this is even a McD's thing, it is standard procedure for almost all fast food places. Hell at least they are being cooked that same day compared to a no kitchen place like Starbucks.

So went to Trader Joes earlier in the week because of road construction near the closer supermarket. So far they seem to have some pretty good stuff. I was actually a bit surprised that their prices were more reasonable than I expected. Not exactly sure what to make of the crazy amount of private label stuff but haven't really been disappointed yet with the stuff we bought there. They do have like 850 cookie/candy choices though.

no, those big scrambled eggs are only for pancakes (youre actually supposed to do like a daniel san wax on wax off to break up the sqaure ness)

sandwich eggs (not muffins) are strips folded into thirds

I have never had hot cakes and sausage or that big breakfast thing there. Didn't realize it was different than the sandwich ones. I always get round egg at McD's. For some reason I don't get into scrambled eggs. I don't even really eat omelettes.

you could always substitute too, like round eggs are for muffin sandwiches , and folded eggs for everything else. but you can always get a sausage biscuit w/ round egg

Trader Joes stuff is hit or miss. They've got some awesome frozen stuff, especially if you're into Indian food. However, their chip selection is the worst of any grocery store I've experienced. Super small selection and the ones they have are mostly garbage tier.
