Burritos, upselling

Dear Readers,

Pssssst, don't tell anyone! In case you have forgotten, urk, can you imagine, RantWoman occasionally EATS FAST FOOD. RantWoman refuses to apologize but still manages to be sheepish on environmental, labor rights, and calorie hazard / the world's expandng waistlines grounds.

Anyway, the other day RantWoman needed breakfast on the fly and hopped into her nearest fast food outlet with a breakfast menu. RantWoman was hoping for dead simple, egg, tortilla, spicy salsa. But when RantWoman placed her order, she, unexpectedly,  was offered A CHOICE. Ambassador Thwack was curled up indolently in the RantWoman bag but the young woman managed to absorb and itneract with RantWoman's protestations that she cannot read the menu. RantWoman quizzed the young woman behind the countter about contents of the new choice: eggs, potato, sausage..... Basically innocuous, but upselling far enough to be beyond the reach of Rantwomans cash supply at the time.

Today, RantWoman finally tried the new burrito variant. The verdict?

Is RantWoman the only gringa in North America who would be Thrilled, Thrilled if there were black beans in more breakfast burritos? RantWoman has the sense that potatoes in burritos are hard to do well. RantWoman likes potatoes and chorizo well enough not to want to eliminate tubers entirely from her breakfast in a tortilla options, but RantWoman REALLY likes the optioon of legumes for breakfast sometimes!
