Is the McRib currently available in the US? It does not exist in my current home country, as it is not possible to make a halal pork rib sandwich.
Followup question: Does McD's breakfast menu (in the US) still have the artery-clogging Steak, Egg and Cheese Bagel?

It was my favorite McD's breakfast sandwich.

I remember seeing an ad for a McRib in Germany that promised it cam with "Westernsauce". 
Funny how the language evolves words that are not really German or English.
Or mustard / vinegar based Carolina sauce. ^

gross... I worked at a McDonald's circa 1990 when the McRib first came out. It's cheap meat injected with flavorings and shaped like ribs! Who in their right mind would eat that?

I've learned to prepare an equally priced and equally artery-clogging home version (sans egg as I always omit the egg) as a Monday morning hash which I can eat in the car with a plastic fork, but I'm out right now so I've had to resort to store-bought the last couple of Mondays.

Sometimes, just sometimes... the bagel is soft enough, and the 'steak' is just 'juicy' enough that it is pure heaven. Most of the time it is a pale imitation of what it used to be.

Drove by this McDonald's yesterday, and the sign outside said (in holiday motif)...
Joy and Cheer... McRib is here

While this thread is fine here in OMNI, we're moving it to DiningBuzz! with a re-direct in OMNI. It will gain a wider audience there.

It's here in Durham! I got off work last night at 12:30 and got a meal. You have no idea how good a McRib tastes at 1 AM.
