McDonald's just launched new breakfast menu and brought back a 'legendary' item
Among fast food fans, McDonald's breakfast is considered 'elite' – especially the McMuffins and Hash Browns. But it seems for some, it might have just become even more appealing to kickstart the day with a Maccies, as the chain has just launched something exciting. McDonald's has dropped its first ever Breakfast Saver Menu, with prices starting from just 79p. There is, however, a bit of a catch… it's not going to be available for everyone just yet. Launching as part of a trial from May 7, the Breakfast Saver Menu will initially only be available in 332 restaurants across the North. It features a brand new Sausage Sandwich, as well as a Saver Bacon Roll, priced at £1.99 and £2.19 respectively. The menu also includes fan-favourites like the Cheesy Bacon Flatbread (£1.99), Porridge (£1.69), Apple Slices (79p), Hash Browns (£1.59 each) and refreshing Tropicana Orange and Apple Juice (£1.89) – so there's something for everyone. If this weren't enough, in select locations across the region, McDonald's is offering a Breakfast Bundle Deal where people can nab a Sausage Sandwich or a Saver Bacon Roll with a selected drink (including coffees) for just £2.99. The menu will only be available for a short period of time, before hopefully returning and launching more broadly across the UK later this year. And the new menu isn't the only change happening at McDonald's this month. It comes after the chain recently announced what new and returning items would be joining the menu for May. For six weeks, the 'legendary' Biscoff McFlurry will be back as well as the Biscoff Frappe. If you'd prefer a fruity drink, don't worry as McDonald's has you covered with this too. That's because a brand new Frozen Cherry Lemonade is launching, which McDonald's claim is the 'perfect refreshing drink to take on a sunny stroll with'. More Trending It's not all sweet stuff though, as you might have already heard the McSpicy x Frank's RedHot is making an epic comeback – this is Maccies' spiciest burger ever and is a chicken burger with a crispy coating, topped with lettuce, Emmental cheese, jalapeños, slivered onions and Frank's RedHot Mayo. For those who love a bit of spice, the mayo is also going to be available to order on its own as a dip for the first time ever, so you can turn up the heat with your favourite burger or McNuggets, or just dunk your fries. And finally beef burger lovers can rejoice as the Steakhouse Stack is also returning from May 7.

The best — and worst — of the Dunkin' menu, according to a food writer with opinions
Instead, I have a healthy relationship with Dunkin': My kids usually get it before skiing or on Sunday mornings while glued to their iPads, which is why I enlisted their help for this very important challenge. Ground rules: I ordered from all corners of the menu, venturing beyond doughnuts. I visited my local brick-and-mortar branch for maximum offerings (Shout out to the lovely counter service at the Arlington Heights branch!). Oh, and I did not rank drinks, because everyone knows that Dunkin' coffee is either life-giving nectar or sock-aroma swill, depending on your perspective and loyalties. And now, for the highly subjective rankings. Advertisement THE BEST A chocolate frosted donut. From Dunkin' The Classic Chocolates Back in my day, DD served a perfect powdered doughnut piped with chocolate crème filling. This was sadly nowhere to be found on my recent visit. Happily, my two other favorites remain as good as ever: a simple chocolate-frosted doughnut, yeasty on the bottom and fudgy on the top, slathered generously with frosting; and the cakey chocolate glazed, with rivulets of crystallized sugar dripping from the edges. Both were fresh, plump, and exactly as I recalled them from ski lesson mornings at Nashoba Valley circa 1987. Ham & Swiss Pretzel Sliders. From Dunkin' Ham & Swiss Pretzel Sliders I was initially skeptical, but in the interest of journalism, I ordered Dunkin's new ham-and-cheese sandwich on King's Hawaiian pretzel sliders. Some might argue that DD should stick to Munchkins, but this admirable foray into sophisticated fare was surprisingly satisfying. The black forest ham was delicately folded atop the glossy amber pretzel buns like a meaty quilt; the Swiss and honey mustard infused a touch of tang. Did these transport me to Paris? No. Did they make me gag? Also no. Hash Browns. From Dunkin' Hash Browns A greasy bag of craggy tater-tot shaped spuds that cure the hangover you didn't even have: There's nothing not to love about these sumptuous sides. They are toasty, crispy, and deeply filling, with a crunch that legitimizes all your poor choices. My kids were ho-hum on them, but my kids have never tried to sop up four ill-advised margaritas at Border Cafe (yet). Cotton Candy Specialty Donut. From Dunkin' Cotton Candy Specialty Donut At first blush, I could conjure nothing sadder than nibbling a theme-park impulse purchase wedged inside a disk of dough. Silly me: Everyone in my family adored this special-edition doughnut, piped with blue cotton candy-flavored buttercream. Imagine a cloud of cake frosting, airy and pert. The strawberry icing provided a tart zing, and the blue sprinkles added textural intrigue and a dash of unicorn. Advertisement THE WORST Maple-Frosted Donut These yeasty offerings are theoretically appealing: What possibly could be more New England than Dunkin' and maple? The problem is, this particular maple frosting tastes like a discontinued flavor of children's toothpaste. Nobody could take more than one cloying bite. Jelly Donut Artfully dusted with powder like a 1920s starlet, these doughnuts look lovely on the outside. The problem lurks within: Our particular batch was overloaded with a congealed substance that lacked fruit flavor . . . or any flavor, really. A disappointment. Egg Sandwich. From Dunkin' Egg Sandwiches I have tried these egg patties on English muffins, on a croissant, and on a bagel. No amount of carb camouflage can disguise the fact that they taste like an overused sponge: flaccid, waterlogged, slippery. To call these abominations 'sandwiches' is like calling the RMV a day spa. In conclusion? Like a classic order of Munchkins, this was a mixed bag — and, still, I'm sure I'll return for more next weekend. Kara Baskin can be reached at
