McDonald's is bringing back the McRib sandwich.

[Swede]

They were actually pretty good.

[Throd]

1. How can something so revolting taste so good?

[DarkTirade]

2. Good for... them?

Never had one. Probably never will. :shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

3. As Jack Osbourne would say...

"The McRib is back!!!"

*don't know if anyone remembers that episode* :rofl:

[mockmonkey]

13. That was probably

the funniest thing ever on "The Osbournes":rofl:

[Drum]

4. I like 'em.

I don't really get anything there except for the double-fish sandwich, and the Ribwich when they're around.



:9

[BlueJazz]

5. I agree...Swede....They're actually pretty damn Good!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

6. Yes!

:hide:

[Scooter24]

7. Ah...Another "Farewell" tour?!

lol

[Duer 157099]

8. Oh Gawd. that's the *only* reason I ever visit McD's

Thanks for the heads up!

[SarahB]

9. They werent' bad. nt

[Pushed To The Left]

10. I still remember the "CHHHOMP!!!" McRib commercial from over a decade ago!

The father can't wait until he gets in the house to taste the McRib and when he bites in, the announcer says, "CHHOMP!!" and his family is looking at him and I think they are shaking their heads.

11. I make a veggie version at home using those pork riblets things you can get at the grocery store.

Don't remember the brand name. You just heat it up in the microwave - the BBQ sauce tastes pretty much the same. Put it on a hoagie bun with chopped onions and pickles and you really can't tell the difference between it and the more fatty McD's version.

[siligut]

24. You mean the BBQ Riblets?

Those are good, and we have them just about the same way you describe. I suggested them to a real carnivore I know, as that person was trying to lower cholesterol and fat intake.

Well, long, whiney complaint and cold stare latter; I guess they just don’t offer the same satisfaction to a person who has been eating large amounts of fatty meat their whole life. But I feel the way you do, they work great for me.

I had one of the McRib sandwiches way back, during a falling off the wagon period, that sandwich is one of the reasons I worked with the Gardenburger stuff, I wanted that BBQ goodness.

One thing I would say, don’t heat things in plastic, take them out, put them in glass and heat them that way. A chemical in plastic, phthalate, can leach into the food/water, and cause endocrine problems.

[Hissyspit]

32. Yes, Riblets. I guess it's Boca,as another poster said.

I believe it is textured soy protein and there is no reason not to take it out of the plastic to cook when it is frozen. Probably helps the flavor, too.

[Hissyspit]

38. Gardenburger makes them. n/t

[ordinaryaveragegirl]

12. I have one thing to say...

:puke:

It's just NMS. Not even in my carnivore days.

[shaniqua6392]

14. I love how those were actually shaped like a little slab of ribs!!

Too funny. They actually were pretty good though. But I think I will just stick to my crock pot bbq ribs. They are better.

[DainBramaged]

15. McMystery meat, mmmmmmmm good

[mainegreen]

16. Is it time for another DU McRib sandwich thread?

Those things are simultaneously awesome and barfingly vile.

[datasuspect]

17. unfurl the bunting and shine up the horns

a parade is in order!

[Callalily]

[End Of The Road]

19. I never liked the texture

Like biting into rubber. Yech. I'll take a slimming 540-calorie Big Mac, thank you.

[Connonym]

21. I tried it once and thought it was like eating a hot dog in BBQ sauce

I prefer my hot dogs with mustard. Never understood the appeal. Call me old fashioned ;-) I like the bones.

[Sheets of Easter]

20. I'm partial to the Cheddar Melt,

which they really need to bring back.

[MilesColtrane]

22. Who's the clown in the cloak with a scythe?

Why it's Ronald McReaper!

[evlbstrd]

23. They come back every year.

I live in a BBQ town. And they still try to sell these things?

[Cannikin]

25. Bringing it back? It just went away a few weeks ago.

Was I in a test market?

[Dukkha]

26. I thought the animal they made them from is now extinct

"The pig? The cow?"
"You're way off. Think smaller...think more legs."

[I Have A Dream]

27. I'm a vegetarian. The McRib is one of the few meat products...

that I miss.

I look forward to a really good vegetarian "McRib"-type product. :9

[youthere]

29. Boca makes riblets that aren't bad.

[I Have A Dream]

34. Thanks for the information, youthere!

I'll have to look for them. :)

[drexel dave]

28. It's all dirty McShit to me

I eat real food, the kind that rots after it sits in room temperature for too long.

McDonald's will treat you like a crack-addicted ex if you eat healthy most of the time.

[youthere]

30. Could not agree more.

Any of the McCrap and it's copycats are just...bleah.

[KamaAina]

35. McCrap?

Are you sure you want to waste such a cool nickname on mere fast food, when there's a certain candidate out there whom it would fit to a 'T'???

[Bryan]

31. Huzzah! I have a guilty fondness for the McRib

It's revolting and irresistible, like the Black Meat from Naked Lunch ("...like a tainted cheese, overpoweringly delicious and nauseating so that the eaters eat and vomit and eat again until they fall exhausted.").

I must go get a couple of those, some Guinness, and some birthday cake, and have a proper Feast of Shame...

[SacredCow]

33. Don't they "bring them back" multiple times per year?

Whatever floats your boat, and all.... But the McRib holds the distinction of being the ONLY food (and I use that term very loosely here) that upon ingestion, made me immediately and violently ill. It was something about the greasy/slimy/toxic-wasty texture of that sauce...

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[KamaAina]

36. Better get there quick, or someone else is sure to get the last one...

[GoddessOfGuinness]

37. McBarf

:puke:
I can't stand any of that stuff...

[Lady Freedom]

39. Hooray! I love those messy things!

[applegrove]

40. In Nova Scotia they have the McLobster sandwich. Yummy!

[TK421]

41. Wasn't there a lounge war over this about a year ago?

The Mc Rib lovers vs the Mc Rib haters? I seem to remember one post dedicated to that:shrug:

Oh....the Mc Rib is the nastiest invention to come around since aspic :puke:
