Dunkin' Donuts Sausage Pancake Bites are a perfect example of what happens when you start with an awesome idea and then follow through with a mediocre execution.
Because really: Sausage! Wrapped in a pancake! That's a recipe for Win wrapped in Awsome. After all, haven't you ever done that at home at breakfast? Wrapped a sausage link in a pancake and enjoyed epic NOMs? I have. Everyone in my family has; I refuse to believe it never occurred to anyone else, ever.
Here is a fact: The higher the quality of your ingredients, the higher the quality of the finished product. Dunkies uses some really cheap sausage in these things - they remind me of those ratty generic brown-and-serve sausages my mother used to buy. The "pancake" part has much more in common with a corndog coating than with a pancake - it's dense and tough, and while it does have a pancake-like flavor, it still comes across less like a pancake and more like a cornbready doughball.
Too bad, really. DD could have had something really awesome here, but it just seems like they cut a bunch of corners and wound up with something really "meh."
