This Is What McDonald's McRib Actually Looks Like

[MADem]

52. I lived for many years in the Middle East.

I have eaten all sorts of stuff that, by western standards, might be considered either sketchy or unsavory.

I've gotten ill a time or two, too, when I ate something that was "not quite right."

That said, I have never, ever felt the "tore up/take me now Jesus" feeling that I got from eating one of those things.

It was many years ago, and a family member brought a bag of those monstrosities home, thinking it was a nice thing to do. I ate one of 'em, and to me, it was like eating a transfat sandwich. I could feel my arteries closing, very quickly my stomach began demanding "WTF is THIS shit?" and I was in some serious agony that was only resolved by my taking a determined seat on the porcelain throne, girding my loins with determination to expel the abomination, and well, hunkering down with a few magazines until the mission was accomplished.

Those things are in NEVER AGAIN territory. Awful, awful, AWFUL things! Ghastly! I shudder at the memory.

They put me off the McDonald's franchise pretty much for good. I will get a coffee from them on the odd occasion, but I am not impressed at all with their food--and especially that "thing."
