America has all the best food. And the worst food. And therefore, the best worst food.
It’s the country that brought us cheese in a can and sweet potatoes topped with marshmallow, and we politely said “No, thank you.”
It’s also the country that brought us the cheeseburger, Coca-Cola, hot dogs, Lucky Charms, the Reuben sandwich and the concept of all-you-can-eat buffets, to which we said “MORE, MORE.”
Well now America has birthed a new creation. At a glance, you might think it’s just a standard taco, that pillar of Tex-Mex cuisine that is threatening to take over the world, and long may it reign. But no, look again.
That’s a breakfast taco with a fried egg for a shell. Absolutely sensational.
It’s called the Naked Egg Taco, a new breakfast item from Taco Bell. It costs $1.99 (£1.55) and consists of crispy potatoes, sausage or bacon, cheese, all sandwiched in a fried egg shell.
We think you’ll agree, it looks like the best possible breakfast you could ever have.
The Naked Egg Taco goes on sale in the US from August 31, the lucky buggers.
While we do have a few Taco Bell branches in the UK, sadly they don’t offer breakfast, therefore you won’t be able to get your hands on the Naked Egg Taco just yet, but if we all shout loudly enough, it might just happen.
