Look at him smiling and being shielded by the Pillsbury logo on the box of his new Pillsbury Sausage &#038; Cheese Grands! Biscuit Sandwiches. <\/p>\n<p>He better hide behind that logo because I want to throw one of his new breakfast biscuits at him&#8230;frozen. Why frozen? Because I&#8217;m pretty sure throwing a heated one at the Doughboy as a projectile is as unsatisfying as eating one.<\/p>\n<p>Each box comes with two sandwiches, which are individually wrapped and split into two halves.  Depending on how powerful your microwave oven is, preparing a biscuit sandwich takes anywhere from one minute and 15 seconds to two minutes and 15 seconds. Sadly, for those of you who don&#8217;t like the convenience of a microwave oven, there are no conventional or toaster oven instructions. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6058784506\/\" title=\"Pillsbury Sausage &amp; Cheese Grands!

Biscuit Sandwiches Closeup 2\"\/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Look, Pillsbury knows how to make dough and produce commercials that make you want to poke other peoples&#8217; bellies to see if they giggle, but the eggs, cheese sauce, and sausage in the Pillsbury Sausage &#038; Cheese Grands! Biscuit Sandwiches are things they don&#8217;t know how to do well. All of the ingredients in the middle of the sandwich get lost in the flavor of the somewhat tasty buttermilk biscuit, which was a little chewy in places and slightly fragile. <\/p>\n<p>I can understand the eggs not providing much flavor, because with a lot of frozen breakfast items, the eggs usually just give everything a little color, some protein, and jack up the amount of cholesterol the product has. However, it&#8217;s disappointing the sausage and cheese sauce didn&#8217;t have strong flavors because look at the photo above.  It looks like the buttermilk biscuit was caught in the middle of a pork hail and cheese rain storm. It&#8217;s covered in both, but it doesn&#8217;t make a difference in terms of flavor.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6058236049\/\" title=\"Pillsbury Sausage &amp; Cheese Grands!
