The telephone. The internal combustion engine. The bacon-and-egg McMuffin. All great inventions.
Today the inventor of one of these world-changing contributions to human kind passed away.
Herb Peterson, who invented the ubiquitous Egg McMuffin as a way to introduce breakfast to McDonald’s restaurants, has died
This sad news has understandably triggered a series of blog posts that honour the memory of the great Herb Peterson, written by fans of the Fine Scottish Restaurant (TM). Regrettably, these posts have attracted derisory comments written by leftist scum who are too elitist to appreciate the elegant simplicity of a muffin, a slice of bacon, a fried egg and a slice of “cheese”. Here is an example of one such comment.
Yeah who else could have thought of putting an egg and a slice of bacon in a roll? It’s fricken genius. Why wasn’t this guy knighted?
How narrow and negative this poor sod’s world view must be. Thank heavens the author of the post that attracted this comment was on hand to slap this nihilist upside the head.
…the fact of the matter is that before 1972 no body did think of doing this and it is on a Muffin not a roll :)
You elitist lefties now if it had some quaint ethnic origin (focarccia anyone?) you lot would be singing it’s praises, and given the gentleman was an American from California he was of course not eligible for a knighthood.(text reproduced vebatim)
Hear, hear. And a lifetime supply of “Peterson” McMuffins to the GrodsReader who can best proof read the final blockquote.
UPDATE (29/3): The nihilist has dared question the author of the Peterson post once more.
Bacon and egg rolls have been around for generations… As for using a muffin, so what, it’s hardly friggin rocket science.
But our McMuffin-lovin’ correspondent again shows the nihilist which way is what.
The distinctive difference is [Nihilist's name] lies in the use of a Teflon ring to shape the egg as it cooks so that it more perfectly fits the muffin, and the addition of cheese.
Pwned!
