The McRib is Back
 

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' !

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.

Ditto. :D

double ditto.


And why wouldn't pig snouts be food? :confused:

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.

I haven't eaten at the Mc place since 1982. Oh so tempted. Oh yes. The McRib is back. Let me see. Shall I break the 28 year drought of McMeals? I have McPeed there on highway trips on a few occasions.

I agree -- I eat one everytime it comes out. So, one every 18 monthys is good enough for me.

I think its McPig Snouts (TM) :D

All I remember was when I had a McRib, they had to give a wetnap serviette, as those things were messy!

Never had one, but with all these posts about how good it is, I am def going to try one. ^

Looks like i'll be driving to Buffalo in Nov.

OK, out me if you will ... I like them when i can find them and have never been offended by a pig snout.

But really, I eat them for the pickles.

That's why I get 2 ... hold the squeal

:)

I assume you don't eat hot dogs or ketcup, or probably dozens of other items that use the left other things.

Impossible.

Factually very correct. No McD's in my city either.

And good, I don't like them.

What are these cities?

There seems to be a bit of a trifecta of sorts, McRib, Pumpkin Pies, and Monopoly.

Anyway, it appears to have hit the friers sooner, because most of the Macdos in SeWi have them.

Blood is thicker than water, but BBQ sauce is thicker than both. And harder to remove.

I have enjoyed two McRibs since they hit SE lower MI. OMG, combined with Monopoly... It's a wonder I ear anything else. If they added it to the menu, I don't think the novelty would ever wear off.

I saw a sign that my local McD's had them. Am planning on partaking soon. It's probably been over 10 years since my last McRib

I ate four
.... yesterday.

I think we have our first McRib Platinum level eater.

Plat is 75 eaten, at that level you get a free upgrade to a 3rd pickle slice.

I wonder if the McD around here has them... I'll stop in today and check it out...

Stopped by McD and got myself a large fry, (not a fan-got it for Monopoly) and the Mcrib sandwich.. Now this is my first time ever trying this sandwiches.. The verdict, It was delicious, now I feel like I should have gotten a second one.. :(

It will take you forever to reach McFib Platinum if you don't. ;)

Do you get lifetime status if you hit the 1MMcrib level??

I don't know. Does anyone have a link to the McDonald's Terms and Conditions for earning status?

Tried it, I prefer their filet o'fish

Is that an annual or lifetime count?

I think if you eat 75 a year you should be entitled to a thorough medical screening.

Went out and got myself a second Ribwich.. Sadly this one didnt have much BBQ as the first one I had, But it was Good.
