I’m glad to see they de-boned them. (?)

[ The other white meat. ]

No, it’s the “Other OTHER white meat” it is what happens to employees that get “laid off” at mcdonalds....

(Cannibalism Joke)

[ Does that video feature Grant Imahara, formerly of Mythbusters? I heard his new gig was doing spots for McDonalds busting myths that their food is made out of pig ears and sawdust. ]

That is hillarious, It is not “Pig Ears and Sawdust” it is actually “Pig Rectums and Floor Sweepings” GET TI RIGHT NEXT TIME OR YOU WILL BE ZOTTED!!!

:P

[GraceG]

[ I didn’t know that some rectums had bones. ]

If it did it would put new meaning to the term “Wrecked ‘em”

[GraceG]

[ The photo is likely real: Apparently pork rectums are a delicacy in some parts of the world. And supposedly they have a consistency similar to calamari ]

You know what is delicious, though my friends think I am crazy, it is “Pho Noodle Soup with Tripe” (Tripe being cow stomach cut intot little strips) it reminds me a calimari for some reason and the Vietnamese Soup base witht he noodles and fresh basil and bean sprouts is just deliciouso!

[GraceG]

[ Folks eat at McDonalds for relatively cheap, safe food while on the road. I sometimes eat there in town when I want something fast. It is fast food, and that is not evil. If it was wrong, there wouldn’t be so many McDonalds... ]

It does excel at consistency!

[GraceG]

[ The McRib is made with tripe, heart and scalded stomach. That’s why I won’t ever touch one. ]

Organ Meat is very good for you.

[Disambiguator]

I'm pretty sure it killed 'em.

Sausage, without the skin and differently seasoned.

Probably a selling point, I mean, when that's your product, just about all you've got to sell is the sizzle... Ew.

[W.]

I saw what you did there! ;)

One difference between now and the 1960s: with numerous web site reviews and blogs available, you can obtain more knowledge of the restaurants in an unfamiliar town. AAA and others produced printed guidebooks, but they didn't cover all restaurants, just the middle range to upscale places. By the time you had the guidebook, the information was at least a year old.

At least with McDonald's and the other chains, you know that food quality will be consistent. If you are health-minded, their salads are decent, as are the fruit cups.

Being just a few miles away from a couple of Kansas City area barbeque places that make most of the top ten barbeque joints in America lists, I have never tried a McRib. If I lived in Maine, I would not go to the Red Lobster.

>" so who buys these things"

First the Chinese, then US.

Parts is parts.

I’d hate to see how they de-bone them...

[GeronL]

as long as it tastes good

Have you ever watched:

Nope. Someone who ate nothing but McDonalds, and who ate 5,000 calories a day, does not interest me. I avoid carbs when I can, ride horses, jog, and use portion control to watch my weight. I would never eat 3 meals a day at McDonalds.

But on the road? Yeah, I’ll eat fast food burgers, usually from the value meal. A Double Cheeseburger & a Diet Coke runs around 450 calories, costs $2.25-2.50, and will keep me going for hours.
