Saturday night, around 2am, sober, yes sober, the group I was with, including I, went to breakfast. I felt like having something different beside the normal, bacon and eggs with toast or pancakes or waffles… etc. I then decided to order the most disgusting item on the menu I could find. It was a toss up between the “Crabcake & Sweet Corn Three-Egg Omelette” or the “Alaskan Benedict”. Enter the “Alaskan Benedict”… into my mouth!
[quote="Alaskan Benedict"]Jumbo English muffin, mild Horseradish sauce, smoked salmon, tomatoes, two eggs over-easy, Hollandaise, and roasted home fries.[/quote]
[quote="Crabcake & Sweet Corn"]Fried crabcake with scallions, sweet corn, Jack Cheddar and salsa.[/quote]
What did I really have to lose? I like English muffins, love Horseradish, I’m OK with salmon, hate tomatoes, love eggs and Hollandaise is ehhh, not bad but I could live without it.
It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I really ate only one of the two because it was a little over powering after the first ten bites.
All in all, I give it a 9, on the “Things You Probably Don’t Want to Order List”. This dish has got to be a senior citizen favorite. I rate it up there with Tuna salad with tomato on toasted rye, any liver platter, and the Reuben.
Eating this, I believe has aged me a year or two. On the way home I felt the urge to get lost, become confused, and shit my pants unknowingly until someone asked me if I had done so.
