McRib is back!!!!

[davidabcd]

Is anyone else as impressed with this as I am?

Actually was reeling it in a little (the "or so" was really seven with lots of ketchup packets...lots.).

I got one for lunch. Needed something quick, McD's is everywhere, and I thought of this thread and considered I hadn't actually had a McRib in several years.

Yep. Still disgusting. Right from the beginning, it didn't even smell good. If you put that much sweet sauce on anything, it's because you're trying to cover up the taste of it. In this case, the lack of taste. Would have been better off with just pickles and onions on the bun. Would have been way better off with a McD's cheeseburger, which is a pretty low bar.

It'll be several years before i forget enough about this experience to even consider getting another. It also doesn't matter how filling it was, after that, I've lost my appetite for a few hours.

^ I applaud you actually going out and picking one up and trying it again!

To me the sauce tastes more tangy than sweet but the taste of the un-sauced patty isn't too bad, kinda like spam but not quite as good as spam.

Don't worry, it'll be gone soon enough.

Hopefully not taking the rest of your GI tract with it...

Fricking gross, hated them back in the day and even more now, and I like my guts just the way there are, Ill have a beer and make something at home

As long as you don't eat or drink crap every meal, it's meaningless. Math: 21 meals per week. 2 bad meals. Great percentage. The body wants to be resilient and it is as long as you play nice.

In my many years on this planet, I've learned that eating poorly, on occasion, means very little. I think, based on observation, that you really have to tank it, and actively pursue it, I mean spend all your effort toward poor eating, to get screwed up physically. It's a daily/hourly effort.

Throw in a handful of push ups and a some brisk walks and it's easy to stay healthy (if it's your thing) if you eat properly a lot more often than not.

I can't say whether a revered institution such as the McRib is gross or not, but it's a possibility. I'd like to think it will be this tender piece of heaven. In any case, I'm now tempted, more than ever, to try one. Worst case scenario? I point at it and shout, "NO! Just NO!" and toss that puppy into the bin. I highly doubt it but it could happen. But the thing is, the people in charge already know most people like it, by testing, before it ever hits the restaurants.

As I said in an earlier post, cheeseburgers are (or used to be) too good not to order so I'm not at all sure what will happen when I walk up to that counter.

I'm guessing the meat is pieces collected from places on the animal that no one else wants or it's a byproduct . That's not a jab, it's innovation. Besides, I'm already eating the muscle of animals, using its bone marrow and drinking it's blood. I also take solace that people have been eating tongues and doing interesting things with intestines forever.

I'm not partial, however, to the rodents and whatnot that get added (inadvertently) to the mix but it is currently part of the deal unless I decide to DIY.

This thread has been very fun.

Man it was nasty in 1980 when I had my first one. It was the last one as well.

 

[davidabcd]

1980??? The McRib should have been better then, right? I'm still game; one's not going to kill me. If it does, my wife will cash in.
I swear, I've never been tempted before HBT but now I am. Maybe there's some fake member controlling all of this without us knowing. I do want to find out (where I couldn't have cared less before) what all the hullabaloo is about. Technically, I don't know that the McRib is being sold in metro Detroit so I'll have to check.
Taco Bell did something local here with a tater-tot-steak burrito thing a long time ago that was awesome but it didn't catch on (sad face).
Kool Aid, believe it or not, made a powder that, hand to God, was 95% as good as real apple juice. I even thought at the time, "Real apple juice is in trouble." Never saw it again. I believe it was too good and the shelved it.

Screw the McRib....

Being back the Rancho Steak Burrito (Taco Bell) and Colossus (Jack N the Box)!!!

 

[TBC]

Never had the McRib that I could remember but I did have the BK rib Sandwich about 2 years ago and it was delicious. Long Live the King!!!!

I would say Taco Bell is even better for inducing.... action at the back door.
I honestly don't remember the last time I ate at McDonalds. I try to avoid the big 3 fast-food places. 5 Guys, Smashburger and such is on the occasional rotation (like, once every 3 or 4 months, if that.) Don't know if they're any better for you than the big guys, but they taste a lot better.

I would say White Castle for the win! They don't call them sliders for nothin.

As far as McRib, they never seem to show up in my area anymore, which is fine. I worked at McD's in high school, and I was surprised that we had to actually test the internal temp of the mcrib patty to test that it was cooked.
