Tried one once, after hearing all the hoopla.

Much better ribs at some of the local joints.

I guess I’d say the same about their burgers and fries.

“That’s quite bold of you to suggest that McDonald’s uses real meat in its meals.”

Back in the ‘80s McDonald’s was the biggest importer of beef from South America, or so I was told and had read.

Specifically they got their bread from Argentina. From a gigantic Ranch down in Argentina which was owned by none other than the Rockefellers...

I’ve heard if you wash all the sauce off and look at it, you’ll never have another.

I wish they’d bring back the McDLT. Those things were tasty. But it wouldn’t taste the same without the styrofoam container to keep the hot side hot and the cool side cool.

My understanding is that they use reconstituted beef from a tube in their factories, for easy shipping.

It’s pork. A skeptic teacher who tweeted about it being bad was hooked up with Mythbusters and got a tour of where they were made.

““Someone sent me a picture of what I thought was a McRib, and I put ‘Wow’ with a bunch of Os and Ws, and that looked disgusting,” said the teacher, Wes Bellamy, in the video. “And I was encouraging everyone to never eat anything from McDonald’s again.”

First, the pair check out the raw McRib meat—chunks of boneless pork picnic, which Imahara points out doesn’t contain bones or gristle.

After a visual inspection, the meat goes through the grinder before being formed into the shape of a rack of ribs. The patty, which contains pork, water, salt, dextrose and preservatives, is then misted with water to keep it from dehydrating during the freezing process.

“This is not like I thought it would be,” Bellamy says of the production.

I doubt if you actually tried it if you say you get much better ribs elsewhwere. The McRib is not made of ribs and has no bones. It is ground and formed pork roast.

Yes, but what if you go behind the screen, where the Oompa Loompas are making the real McRib?

It was first market tested, supposedly, in Pine Bluff Ark. The US once stored biological weapons and nerve gas. Or so I heard a long time ago living in western Ark.

I think it’s sold year around there.

I wish our McDonald’s served hot food. Now it’s something that’s been sitting there for 30 minutes.
