So, this is my first post about random stuff that is serious business.
Jimmy Dean Croissant Sandwiches: Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on a Croissant
These appeared in my freezer yesterday, from where; I'm not sure. However, I was skeptical as I've had some of the Jimmy Dean biscuit sandwiches and was not that impressed. They tended to flake and fall apart and just taste poorly. Though, I figured I'd give this a chance as I am a fan of croissants, it's my way of being cultured. Besides, how can you refuse something edible with a tag line as this: "Start your day with a hot breakfast sandwich featuring delicious Jimmy Dean® sausage, egg, and cheese on a buttery croissant." Serious, a buttery croissant! That's fuckin' 5 star shit right there.

(That image is misleading in my case as my box only included 4. I don't know what someone would do with of twelve of them, other than having a AWESOME time.)
The first issue I ran into in this experiment of awesome was the cooking instructions:(from the website)
ALWAYS FOLLOW HEATING INSTRUCTIONS
KEEP FROZEN UNTIL READY TO USE. MAY BE REFRIGERATED OVERNIGHT TO THAW. DO NOT REFRIGERATE LONGER THAN 7 DAYS.
Microwave Heating Instructions: Based on 1000 watt microwave set on High.
From Refrigerated
1. Remove wrapper.
2. Wrap in paper towel or napkin.
3. Turn sandwhich over; microwave on HIGH for 50 seconds.
From Frozen
1. Remove from wrapper.
Wrap in paper towel or napkin.
2. Defrost sandwich on DEFROST setting for 2 1/2 minutes
3. Microwave on HIGH for 50 seconds.
CAUTION: PRODUCT WILL BE HOT, LET COOL ONE MINUTE BEFORE EATING. ENJOY!
(I wanted to point out that in the copy/paste from the website they misspelled "sandwich." I found this amusing, though disappointingly the box has the proper spelling.)
I attempted to follow the directions on the box but right away I ran into a problem. Being that they were frozen I of course followed the frozen directions. I attempted to choose the defrost setting for 2.5 minutes. My microwave doesn't let you choose the time for the defrost, just weight. After a few minutes of pushing buttons randomly, I gave up on that and just cooked it for a whole 1.5 minutes. This worked perfectly. I don't recommend wrapping it in the paper towel as it can stick to the sandwich which of course sucks.
Do to how the sandwich is "cooked" the croissant just ends up being soft and mushy like or even overcooked/crunchy. This isn't Burger King or anything, so I suppose I can't put my standards too high.
I highly recommend adding another slice of cheese if your like most normal people in this world and like cheese. The single excuse for a slice of cheese they include is flavourless and will leave you disappointed more than you already will be.
I actually just finished the last one in the box which prompted me to write this. I guess it's great when it's 1 am and you're craving something rather easy and fast, but fucking easy mac would be more awesome, I think. Maybe if you take two of the sandwiches and make them into one? This could possibly lead to more satisfaction. It's like when I was a kid and I found if you add another piece of bread to your peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it makes it that much more awesome. Jesus, that sounds good right now.
While looking for pictures of these sandwich things I found a review for the Jimmy Dean breakfast croissant sandwich and entree. Basically this has the sandwich and then some "seasoned hash browns" and "diced apples". I had some photos uploaded but the guy deleted them and I guess this thing doesn't just save the pictures. lame. Here's another one:

Fuck yeah! That looks awesome. You could mix the potatoes and apples together as they look the THE SAME. Fuck, you could mix it all together and maybe it would taste better. The guy that reviewed them went into the whole nutrition fact shit, but I don't understand how you can be worrying about the nutrition facts when you're eating something you cook in the microwave.
So in conclusion, the sandwich it's self isn't half bad, however, the price is fucking insane and you're better off just going to Burger King or something and ordering like 12 of them and sticking them in your freezer or some shit. Or just eat them all then. Make sure to go with one of your friends' like my friend Alex. He's a half-assed vegetarian and so he always gives me the sausage off his sandwich. Then you're like, it's a double whopper croissant sandwich, fuck yeah!
So yeah. Go to Burger King instead... unless they just magically show up in your freezer as in my case.
