7-Eleven Egg, Molasses Honey Ham on Roll Breakfast Sandwich
Item Purchased: 7-Eleven Egg, Molasses Honey Ham on Roll Breakfast Sandwich
Location Purchased: 7-Eleven / 1350 S. Halsted / Chicago, IL
Price: $1.99 + tax
Review: Before I make the statement I am about to make, let me go on record as saying that I actually like this sandwich. I only warn you because the comparison I am about to use is so horrible...so earth-shatteringly putrid, that you may need to find the nearest bucket to purge your three squares into.
Ready?
Here goes...
At first glance, this new breakfast sandwich from 7-Eleven resembles the two-packs of White Castle hamburgers you can buy from the cafe cars of Amtrak trains.
Sorry. I had to say it.
I only bring up that imagery because the buns used for this sandwich are two silver-dollar sized circular hamburger buns baked together in the middle. Thankfully, that is where the similarities end.
Unlike White Castle hamburgers, this sandwich is edible. Consisting of a flat rectangular slab of deli ham and an equally flat slab of egg, both glazed with a honey hollandaise sauce, this sandwich gets the "adequate morning snack" stamp of approval.
Though a bit small (even for $1.99), the molasses flavor and lean ham makes this an enjoyable sandwich. It's only fallback is that the buns get extremely soggy when you heat the sandwich.
Recommended for those of you who liek to dip your sausage in your syrup.

So is it made with molassas or honey? Or do the fine folk at 7-11 think they are some how the same thing?
I think they glazed it with the honey hollandaise and advertise it as molasses. cutting costs and sounding fancy...you know how it goes.
Next time I buy one of these, I will investigate further and update the review.
