The McRib is Back
 

Bona Fide Fans Chase Rib-Free Rib Sandwich
Lovers of Elusive McRib Pork Patty Track Their Sightings

By JULIE JARGON
AND DAVID KESMODEL

On Nov. 2, for the first time in 16 years, McDonald's Corp. will offer the McRib at outlets across the U.S., but even then, only for six weeks or so. "It doesn't sell well all year long because people get tired of it," says McDonald's USA President Jan Fields.

HUH???:confused::confused:
It has been maybe a year - 18 months since I had McRib(uber guilty pleasure).
Guess the Southern US is 'special'? :D

Maybe they mean "all across the US" ?

Sadly, there is no Mickey D's in my city, and I don't have a car here to drive to one. I might *gasp* take a bus if I can ascertain that the nearest location has the mystery meat patty indeed.

LOL. This is what the wife and I refer to as the McFib sandwich. :D

Yumm ... they're good eatin' !

[from linked article above]

"It's a conglomeration of pork waste, as far as I can tell," says Kate Sedgwick ... "I saw a dog turn his nose up at a piece of one. That's all I need to know."
Dumb dog

:D

One of my friends and I call it the "McCrackwich" covered in tasty "crack sauce" of course extra pickles and no onions.
This was great news on what was turning into a pretty crappy day. :)

I always liked McRibs. :)

I'm shocked to hear that people actually eat these things. Just puting BBQ sauce on pig snouts, ears and hooves doesn't make it food. It sounds more like a practical joke that some drunk interns at McD's came up with as a way to dispose of slaughterhouse waste.

"Dude, have R&D make me a rib-shaped mold, and I'll bet we can get people to eat compressed entrails"

Whatever, I don't care. They taste good. Make my a double.

No telling what parts go into it, but - allegedly - this is the recipe for the formed pork patty:

PRESSED FORMED PORK
70.00% – Pork, Raw, coarse grind
20.00% - Water
3.50% - Dextrose
4.00% - Mixture of Hydrolyzed soy protein, Soy Protein Concentrate Powder partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils, sodium phosphates, mono sodium glutamate, autolyzed yeast extract, disodium inosinate and guanylate, xanthan gum.
2.00% - Salt
0.50% - MSG

That being said, I think the pork parts (regardless of their origin) are probably the best part of the sandwich, but I still like to have one every now and then. ;)

Have no idea - I guess when people think of snouts, they think of snot and germs and stuff, and they get grossed out. Imagine that. :D So I just don't think about it and enjoy. :D

I'm curious to see how many calories that sandwich has. :p

Just 500, fewer than a Big Mac or Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese.
