Rating the English Muffins

Tim Hortons has recently unveiled their breakfast sandwiches on English Muffins. The best part about this has been that all breakfast sandwiches are only $2.09 including tax. However when I had an actual english muffin based sandwich, I found the results were...well, lets not give it away.

One radio ad makes a thinly veiled reference to a guy who got his breakfast at McDonalds and his coffee at Tim's (actually, I prefer McDonalds' coffee), so I thought it would be best to put the Tim Hortons breakfast on an English Muffin head to head against the legendary McMuffin and see what happens:


McDonalds -- The Egg McMuffin: 5/10
The traditional egg and muffin sandwich, no meat involved.

Tim Hortons -- Sausage Breakfast Sandwich on an english muffin: 1/10
A sausage round, egg and a muffin.

Barb & Ernies
-- Bratwurst Benedict: 23/10
A big piece of veal bratwurst and lightly poached eggs on a muffin with Hollandaise sauce.
