MCRIB IS BACK!!!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Why?

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I saw this sign at my local McDonalds, and that was the first thought that came to mind. Lord only knows why somebody wants to pretend that some pressed and molded meatlike substance swimming in an inedible and mass produced lame sauce is actually some analog of BBQ.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Sad, gross ping.

[Lazamataz]

Why isn't this in Breaking News?

[wimpycat]

Yuck!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I shoulda clicked it. Trying to time it on the shift over to chat - 5...4...3...2...1...

[ken5050]

Actually, it was the Dry Cleaners of America that requested that McRibs return...

[teletech]

More like McAwful!

[oceanperch]

McSoylent Green BBQ style.

[Constitution Day]

Disgusting! It always looked like cat food on a bun to me.

[Catspaw]

In some type of brain fart, I once ordered a McRib. Remember Tom Hanks in "Big," the scene where he's scraping caviar off his tongue with his fingers? That was me & the McRib. I swear I can still taste that pseudofood.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I got one once, ate two bites and tossed it away. I'm not sure that cat food wouldn't have been better.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Yup, that was my reaction, too.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I'm voting that we hunt down the team that developed that product, as well as the faction of marketing that insists on selling that product, and hunting them down with dogs, torches and pitchforks....

[Constitution Day]

You're brave.

I have eaten all manner of exotic game, but have never - and will never - subject my taste buds to a McRib.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

It was a mistake made at a drive through on the way from here to there on a busy day. It shan't be repeated - ever.

If I were starving to death, I'd still have reservation about eating one.

[Catspaw]

Heck, I've eaten menudo and liked it, but McRib? blech, yuk, gack.

The best sandwich Mickey D's has had recently is one called Cheddar Melt. It's a quarterpound burger on a rye bun with carmelized onions & a glob of Merckt's cheese on top. It was yummy--and that's probably why it's not in wide distribution.

[Agnes Heep]

McDonald's used to sell a nice chopped steak sandwich with steak sauce and raw onions on a seeded steak roll. It was the most palatable item they ever sold, but they discontinued it after a short time.

[VRWCmember]

As bad as you might think the McRib is, it is still the closest thing to actual food that McDonald's has ever featured on its menu.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I dunno - the fries are OK, and I think they might even be made from real cut potatoes, as opposed to some pulped and pressed substance.

;)

[carlo3b]

I have the recipe.. If anyone is interested,..I got it off the back of a Purina box!

[VRWCmember]

Yes, McD fries are tolerable. But I'd take just about any fast food place over McD's -- even burger king. My preferences would be:
1. Wendy's
2. Whataburger
3. Arby's
4. Subway
5. Taco Bell / Pizza Hut
6. Dairy Queen
7. Jack in the Box
....
25. Burger King
26. McD's

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Wedy's double, dressed out. No question the best of the fast food fares.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I’m sure Ricky Martin was appreciative…

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I did not realize 'til now that I am so alone in liking the thing...

[VRWCmember]

Whataburger has an A1 buger that has A1 steak sauce, sauteed grilled onions, and bacon that is also pretty prime.

[VRWCmember]

Not entirely alone. I said it is the closest thing to actual food that McD's offers.

Cat Litter Cake from www.wackyzoo.com, guaranteed to stop co-workers from asking you to contribute to potlucks!

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Dude, you are the target of millions in marketing. You ought to just ask them to send you a check for half of what they spend marketing those - you could retire wealthy, and they could save money while not offering up gross food.....

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Holy-way-too-funny-damn! Batman....

[Chancellor Palpatine]

I love that recipe.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

We don't have them here, but it sounds really good.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

Me, you, a football game some McSlop and a case of brews, Vast.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

You guys scare me.

Bwhahahahahhahahahahh I'll remember this for the next request!!

[xsmommy]

get off HD, just bc he is a hapless Polack doesn't mean he doesn't have TASTE! and YOU being the arbiter of taste is SCARIER THAN ALL GET OUT!!! ; )

now vast doesn't have any polish heritage to explain away his predilections...;

[VRWCmember]

What are you yellin' at me about? I was agreeing with HD for cryin' out loud. The only time I darken the door of a McD's is when they have the McRib.

[xsmommy]

i was not yelling at you my darling!

[VRWCmember]

OK. Thanks.

[xsmommy]

and i can't speak to whether a McRib is desirable or not, bc i have never had one. But the Chancellor's taste is in his behind, fyi...

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Ever had a substance that was sold as meat, but was almost entirely unlike meat in flavor, smell and texture?

Think of how surprised you'd be if you thought you were eating a hamburger, but somebody fried up a patty out of refried beans and did a switch.....

[lainie]

Absolutely disgusting.

[tpaine]

Oink, oink..

[Notforprophet]

I used to like the McRib when I was 8 years old. I tried one a couple of years ago and nearly blew chunks of it all over the people in the booth next to us.

[oceanperch]

Here is a link to what is in a Mc Rib.
MC RIB

[Clinging Bitterly]

When Wendy's was new in the market I really liked their big greasy burgers. Triple with cheese, yum. We called 'em sliderburgers for their subtle affect on the digestive tract that we came to notice. Like darn near everything else though, they don't seem to be as good as they used to be.

I tried those McRibs on the first go around and I thought they were pretty lame. But there's little at McDonalds that I care much for. A double quarter pounder with cheese is good if I have them make it without ketchup and add mayo. And the Sausage-Egg McMuffin is okay, plus something they had for a while called the Sausage Mac, I think. That thing they are making now with the cinnamon flavored faux pancake bun is simply horrid.

My wife likes that awful thing, and she also likes the McRibs. Go figure. She'll nag me until I go to our neighorhood McDonald's and get her one (they'd want me to mention their location, so I will - Barger and Cubit St, Eugene - quite possibly the worst Mcdonald's on the planet for speed and accuracy).

Screw the McRib, make way for the McGriddle! I still amazed at the concept of built in syrup in pancakes.

[stainlessbanner]

It's not BBQ...in fact, I'm not sure what it is....
