McRibs are Back at your local McDonalds

Umnm, I was with you till you got to the processing part, Shosh.

But yeah, a McDonald's fish fillet looks like any other prepared fillet you buy. But that's not what fish automatically looks like; we're just used to seeing it presented that way.
 
[quote name='shosh']i didn't know fish comes in squares.

do they also mince, bread, and deep fry themselves?

i mean honestly, you should be more concerned about the consistent and uniform look food has. food doesn't come in squares triangles or circles and has a consistent color.

and if you think the final product is gross, think of the process in which food is made. think of the living condition animals live and how they are killed. the sewer sludge farmers use to fertilize and irrigate their crops.

even water. hey, it was someones piss at one point or another.[/QUOTE]

whatever they d with those fillet o fishes i dont know and dont care because theyre tastier than a wicked bitch. very few things on their menu can be considered "real" but its fast food so what do you expect? you eat it at your own risk.
 
I like the McRib, howeve las time they had them here, I ordered one and it had the most disgusting taste, something wasn't right with it. Maybe it was spoiled or something but ever since then I have stayed away.

i always thught maybe they changed it when they brought it back the first time years ago but then maybe our tastebuds have changed so whatever made it so great then makes it taste funny now. i feel the same way about bigmacs too i dont get what made them so good.

I feel that way about the chicken McNuggets. I did a late night drive thru run with my gf at McD's a few months ago and she ordered some nuggets. She fed one to me and I didn't like them at all. A few weeks later, we went by to another McDonald's and I guess just to prove to myself that I still liked them, I ordered a 10 pc and it had the same result. Dont get me started on that sweet & source sauce; I used to love them as a kid :puke:
 
I'm so excited! I love the McRib. I always text my friend when I see the usual billboard with a big, beautiful picture and a simple "It's Back" next to it. Kinda crazy, a national rollout :applause:
 
Never had one, so I'll give it a try. I for one though, would be much more excited if they brought back those philly cheesesteaks from about 6 years back. Those things were fucking delicious!

Hell yes, along with the Mozzarella Chicken Supreme. :drool:

ah, i thought i just got some weirdo that couldnt make them...
 
I had a McRib today and it was good as they always are. Feel free to hate on processed pork. It's mighty tasty when covered in BBQ sauce.

[quote name='Some Website I forgot the name of']Ah, every year McDonalds unleashes the McRib upon the country, and it is our duty to eat one as remembrance of how disappointing it is. And thus, I present to you a list of facts about the beloved ribwich.
  1. The original boneless rib sandwich was invented in Sweden in 1547 when King Gustav Vasa’s castle was besieged by rebels from the town of Småland. All that was left to feed his troops were loaves of bread, twelve boars, and a smoked sauce made from honey called rydbojölk. King Gustav I ordered the sidemeats peeled from the boars and placed directly from the boar onto the sandwich, raw and drizzled with the rydbojölk. Onions, pickles, and cooking were added in later generations.
  2. The modern McRib was developed in a laboratory at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. Scientists were working towards creating a stronger caulking compound when a careless lab technician spilled some of his McNugget BBQ sauce onto the drying compound. The slotted shape of the sandwich was originally due to planks of wood laid across the compound to see how well it would bond to the wood. Soy paste and a small percentage of sawdust from the wood were added to give the sandwich/caulk a more palatable mouthfeel.
  3. The world record for the most McRibs eaten goes to the late Olaf Gustafson, a Swedish immigrant who, upon emigrating to the United States in 1982, was so excited to discover his favorite food from his homeland was featured on the menu at a New York McDonalds, he swore to eat one every day. He consumed 796 McRibs before his death in early 1985 of advanced heart disease.
  4. The worled record for most McRibs eaten in a single sitting belongs to Japanese salaryman Takahashi Matsuzaka, who in 1998 consumed 23 of the sandwiches in a thirty minute span of time. Immediately upon completing this astonishing feat, doctors pumped two pints of BBQ sauce from his stomach.
  5. Pop musician Joe Jackson’s song “Steppin’ Out” was inspired by a girlfriend who took him on a date to McDonald’s. They were “steppin’ out” for a McRib. The lyric “But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine” refers to the red and yellow arched sign about the fast food restaurant.
  6. A very rare, but incredibly popular, phenomenon is when McDonald’s corporate release calendars align in such a manner that the McRib sandwich and the Shamrock Shake are available in the same time period. Called the “Black ‘n’ Irish” by some, many locations offer this combination as a special combo meal. The sweet sauce of the McRib and the minty flavor of the Shamrock Shake are perfect compliments to each other. This phenomenon occurs approximately thrice every decade.
  7. Former Prime Minister of Estonia Mart Laar was so fond of the sandwich that he requested a McRib plate, complete with french fries and a McNugget appetizer, as the official meal for his inauguration dinner in 1992. Twenty-two McDonald’s cooks were flown in from Germany to prepare 150 McRibs, 900 McNuggets, and 125 pounds of french fries, for various heads of state, visiting dignitaries, and national celebrities. It is unknown whether they had apple pies for dessert.
I hope you enjoyed these facts about the history of a popular sandwich, and remember, every time you eat a McRib, you’re eating caulk.[/quote]

LoL
 
All I have to say is that the McRib is delicious. Who gives a shit what it's made out of? Is it really any nastier than eating tongue, liver, kidneys, any other organ, or hotdogs/bologna? The food is nasty looking when you break it down because it goes through a process that breaks it down, adds in spices, preservatives, coloring, and probably other meats and fillers, but during that whole process it's cleaned and bacteria (if any) would be killed off. Christ, have you ever see what goes on when making chicken patties or chicken nuggets (Wendy's included). It's a white paste that has airbubbles in it to 'puff' it up.

If you break just about any food down to a magnified version, it will look gross. The exceptions would be fruits, veggies, and very few other things. I'm also not magnifying my food, I'm just eating it. As for the heart clogging haters, the McRib has 450 calories. That's not that bad in the scheme of things. Of course, if you're eating it every day, you might not feel so well after a while, but it's on par with eating two 5-piece nuggets at Wendy's.
 
I don't see the problem with fast food. It's delicious. I make my own food almost every night of the week. Sometimes it's nice to have a meal that's already made and not all that bad for me. It's not like I'm ordering an extra large value meal and multiple dollar items along side of it.

I'm going to pick up some more McRibs while I can though. Mmm mmmm....
 
Had one today for the first time as well. The bread isn't good enough to hold the meat, and it feel right off. The meat was okay, since it was pork combined with sweet and sour sauce. It's okay, but I wouldn't pay $3.25 for it again.

I'll just buy a jar of s&s the next time and combine with some lean pork for dinner.
 
i purchased one at this mcd at ny
damn 6 dollar meal and i could have purchased a better value type of meal by my house with that amount
this is a reason i dont purchase fast food :bomb:

the size did not feel right
i thought it was going to be bigger :whistle2:#
it was ok but i had a little heart attack when i saw how many calories that thing had.
i think it was 1000 something calories or maybe it was the whole meal
holy shit

umm.
i feel like grabbin another one today.
sandwich only
my second one
and last one
i promise
really....
...
:drool:
..
for now?
 
I'm gonna get a couple more today they are just 2 bucks hehe not that expensive but they sure are too small. When I had my first one two days ago I couldn't stop eating it..
 
I had my first one today. I think it sucked, the patty was literally tasteless. All I could taste was bbq sauce. And while they look big, just one sure as hell didn't fill me up.
 
I just ate one of these a few hours ago and it was really tasty. It was on one of the longer buns and the meat was BBQed up. Price was $3!!! Big Mac is a better value.
 
I just had one of these for lunch, couple co workers went to McD and i told them to get me one to see the hype.

Worst thing i have ever eaten from a McDonald's, and that's saying a lot.

Seriously. The "Meat" had a horrible plain rubbery taste, and its just drenched in freaking KC masterpiece BBQ sauce. I couldn't finish it, each bite got worse. :puke:

Ive only had a Ribwich in 2 varieties, AM/PM and now McDonald's,(and probably in high school back in the day) and the AM PM blows the McD one out of the - hands down.

Plus you can prepare it how you want. No pickles or alot, onions? or ketchup, mayo, mustard? what ever u want AND there only $1.50 AND bigger. :lol:

McRibwich, you disappoint.:whistle2:&
 
I hate myself. I've laughed as these things for years, swearing I'd never eat some fake BBQ sandwich, yet today I finally caved in and tried it.

It was worth it.:drool:
 
Had one last night, it was okay. $2.19 and a free medium fries from a monopoly piece. The onions were a bit overwhelming. Definitely a TV dinner meat patty on a bun. it seems like they don't season it like they do the burger patties, all the taste comes from the sauce and onions.
 
I'd like to amend that previous post, I'll never eat another one of these things again. That was hours ago and I'm still tasting it. Should have known better.

You know the reason they call it FAST FOOD, right? That's because it goes fast through your colon after eating it, not to mention the delicious regurgitated taste you get till it finally passes.:D

Now just think if it were something actually nutritious for you you could savor your meal for HOURS afterward. But yeah these abortions on a bun are deplorable.....yet delicious.;)
 
It's like why do I love White Castle so? Those things are like the world's tastiest laxative, yet I still eat them. Such a glutton for punishment.
 
Drove to Mc'ds the other night while on Prop 19 and was ecstatic to see it on the menu. Yes it's rubbery, yes it's awful for you, yes it's probably not even pork but it's so good!
 
I got back from touring central America, they had these at all McDonald's out there in October. I didn't try one as I have a rule where I won't eat at a restaurant I have back home when traveling. The local food did give me a bad case of the runs tho :(. I just got better last night and am considering trying one today. I'll likely get the runs again :lol:
 
Got some for my parents and I. My dad said it's less pork than it used to be.

They just SLOP it in BBQ sauce. It slid right out of the bun! :drool:

Not bad, but not great.
 
I remember these when I was younger, they had them as a promo for a few months back in my hometown. And then they went away, and I didnt think too much about them....until I ran into them again 2 weeks ago at a local McDonalds. First 3 days I went there for lunch, got 2 sandwiches and a drink. Havent been back there since. Its nice, but the folklore behind it precedes the sandwich itself
