Haven’t thought about that sandwich in years. But you’re right - it was deeelish!

Thanks for the happy memory.

I’m partial to White Castles myself...

6 sliders, order of fries, large orange drink...that was my lunch every day when I was in Jr High in a St Louis suburb.

Processed meat paste in a rib molding.

To each his own, I guess.

Don’t get me started on Taco Bell’s Bell Beefer!

[dragnet2]

I’m going to have to try one of those. They must be really good because these people go kookoo over them. Makes me wonder what the real ingredients are.

And in the 80s-90s you could have it with a Parkbrau Pils.

Wow. 40 years ago I was a vendor to the Kraft plant in Garland TX. You could always tell when they made their BBQ sauce - from down the street!

And they made the sauces for McDonalds.

And they would have made the McRib sauce ...

I was told a couple of years ago that McDonalds only makes the McRib when pork prices are low, very low.

Would make sense that Germany would have it year around.

It comes from the same mold they make everything else at McDonalds out of.

[MPJackal]

Eh, the Popeyes chicken sandwich is good, but it ain't no McRib.

[dfwgator]

Would make sense that Germany would have it year around.

Surprised the Muzzies there haven't gotten them banned.

46(?) years ago they had a steak sandwich that I used to get with onion nuggets and the salad bar.

Remember when the limited time shake specials started? To this day I stop once around my birthday to get fish sandwiches with a shamrock shake. Its really just become a ritual to celebrate memories.

[gnarledmaw]

I think the Popeyes chicken is vile, I dont know why some people make a big deal out of it. There must be a lot of people that like it though. When they recently opened the first one around here there were lines of cars 2 blocks long to get one.

The Zombie McRib. I can’t count how many times I’ve read “It’s baaaaaack!”

[grame]

I think that’s why i like it. Mystery meat. I can’t wait. Hopefully that’s where I’ll get my birthday lunch!

[fieldmarshaldj]

The good news is that the 40 year old McRib is back. The bad news is that the “meat” in the McRib is 40 years old.

[slouper]

Me too, guilty pleasure. I always get one when they roll back around then I don’t need another till the next time they’re available. I like to put fries on them, soakes up some of the sauce and tastes grossly great.

“Don’t get me started on Taco Bell’s Bell Beefer!”

Del Taco has their version available year round, but off menu. The Bun Taco.

Sweet, a whole new set of brawls to youtube

[outofsalt]

Arby's has the meats!
