Lean Cuisine's New Breakfast Panini is a Garbage Sandwich

To me, this sounds yummy and I may try it!

I feel your pain. I'm sitting here at my desk staring at the
disgusting thing and feeling like I might need to go vomit up the two
bites I took. I too missed the small print on the package and was
super excited to have my breakfast sandwich this morning. I started
to smell the maple syrup as it was cooking and I knew instantly that
this wasn't going to end well.

You want a company to change a product simply because YOU were
revolted? Sweety, the world doesn't revolve around you. Next time,
read everything on the box for the product you're purchasing. As an
individual, you have the right to not purchase a product.
There, was that so hard?

Oh my god! This sounds wonderful! Then again I am one of the many
people who dip my sausage and bacon in syrup... I find it sacrilegious
and down right icky to smother eggs and sausage in ketchup.

I think I am going to go buy some of these breakfast sandwiches...
they sound oh so yummy!

"It obviously was said jokingly....You should have known better than
to take *my* letter so very
seriously."

Why would you write a letter to a company as a joke?
Why wouldn't we take it seriously?

Or you could make your own ahead of time. On a per sandwich basis, it
would actually end up being cheaper and would be made to your specific
tastes.

I think this sandwich sounds disgusting. Then again, I HATE maple
syrup.

Maybe they could offer two versions: one plain, for the normal ones
like us, and one "freaky" version like this. :)

Or maybe they could offer one plain, one w/ maple syrup, and one with
ketchup. The possibilities are endless.

Remember in the first chapter or two of To Kill a Mockingbird, when
Jem and Scout invite a classmate to lunch. The classmate asks for
syrup and proceeds to pour it over his roast beef. The Finch kids are
horrified, but the housekeeper reminds them of their manners.

To each his own, I guess.

Personally I dislike anything from Lean Cuisine. Nasty stuff...but on
the other hand sausages can be dipped in syrup or they can be eaten
with Catsup...either way they are good. But then its all a matter of
personal taste then itsn't it?

The best advert ever! I am going to buy this product. I guess I'm a
freak but I also enjoy ketchup ( has to be Heinz) Cater to me Lean
Cuisine.

They used to make this product plain! About a year and a half ago I
wrote a letter expressing how boring the sandwich was and they
reformulated the recipe to include the cinnamon bread and syrup. I am
sooooo sorry. If I had known that this would of had caused you harm I
would have never written the original letter. Can you please find it
in your heart to forgive me?

Guess I'm a freak...I hate sausage, but I do like to dip my bacon in
syrup. :b

So because you don't like it they need to pull it....I can see asking
them to add another flavor combo but not telling them to discontinue
because you think that people that like this are freaks of nature.
And it's not their fault that you didn't read the label.

Well I can see asking them to add a plain option - they currently only
have the one you tried and the Denver versions.

The other panini meals seem to be traditionally non-breakfast items.


so yes i can see asking them to add a product

however asking them to take one of just because you dislike it?
um no.


as i see it... sure i think the mcdonald's mcgriddle is gross.
that just means i don't ever eat that again (i only had a slice of one
to test it). doesn't mean i demand they remove it

I am on weight watchers, and always looking for low points
alternatives for the fatty foods I used to crave.


Well I must be a double freak of nature...I use syrup AND ketchup!

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean something is wrong with
it. The world does not revolve around just you.

of the responses are in favor of this flavour combo, and it's going to
give them more business. I hope they do something nice to show their
appreciation - maybe a lifetime supply of the product.

You are blaming them for your own error. It is not their fault you
read sausage, egg, and cheese, and thought you were good to go. I
recommend that in the future you thoroughly read the packing prior to
purchasing the item, not after. If the item was disgusting because it
tasted off or had gone bad, then that would be a valid complaint. I do
not think it is reasonable to write a letter of complaint ordering
them to change the recipe to cater to your tastes. If you do not like
it, do not buy it again!

Some "freaks of nature" may dip their breakfast sausage in ketchup, I
am normal. I dip my breakfast sausage in salsa, as GOD intended.

Thanks for the warning. I hate the combination of sweet and savory so
I defintely would not like this. The thought of a Mc Griddle makes me
sick to my stomach. On the rare occasion I order something like
pancakes and sausage, I ask for the sausage to be put on a separate
plate so it doesn't touch the syrup.

Ketchup rules!

that's probably what you should have gotten.

though it does have honey ham

Well this "freak of nature" is now going to try this product even
though I hate eggs.

The Sausage McGriddle at McDonald's tastes fantastic and I am sure
this will as well.

I bet the majority of people put maple syrup on their breakfast
sausage so I wonder why you chose to call them freaks and think Nestle
is cattering to such a "Tiny minority"

Eggs and Ketchup sounds like a horrible combination to me.

Oh my gosh I have to try this!

I love sausage and maple syrup.... well maple syrup on anything. You
can't blame me, my mother comes from Vermont and my Aunt and Uncle
have a sugar house and make their own.

Ketchup sounds like a sin to me! =-P

Cute letter.

Aw, c'mon peeps, you know this is mostly tongue-in-cheek. And I
certainly don't go out to a website to find out the ingredients of a
frozen meal before buying it. I saw the 'sausage, egg and cheese" and
thought I was good to go.

It never occurred to me they'd cater to 1% of people who want pancake
syrup and cinnamon toast combined with BREAKFAST sausage (and egg and
cheese)! Yuk!

And it's very clear in the Old Testament: Ketchup is favored by God.
Don't you people go to church?

From the website:

Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Panini
Scrambled Egg Whites, Sausage, Cheddar and reduced fat Mozzarella
Cheeses and Sweet Maple Sauce on Cinnamon-flavored Multigrain Bread

Saw them in the store today and it was clear that it was sweet and
savory. Which is a nice combination.

Seems to me that it's pretty clear. Just because you don't like it
doesn't mean that everyone else is a freak or weird if they do.

Sadly, McDonald's has been quite successful with their McGriddle
sandwich, which somehow has the syrup baked into the bread component
of the sandwich.

I agree with you that this is a disgusting combination. I haven't seen
the breakfast paninis from Lean Cuisine. Do they make plain ones as
well as these?

This sounds a bit discriminatory.

"I want Nestle to FIX THIS PRODUCT"

This assumes the product is broken. What if there are thousands of
freaks out there who like this thing?

Personally, I wouldn't think of dipping a sandwich such as this in
ketchup, which you describe as "normal".

You know, they could simply ADD an item, with fine print that says
"and ketchup on multigrain bread".

I'm pleased that you admitted that you didn't find it necessary to
read the product's description before you bought it, even though it is
a new item you never had before.
