Love McD burgers and fries.

But no way I would eat McRib. Not a fan of ribs anyway

They aren't actually ribs are they?

"Despite the name, the McRib is not made from rib meat. It's made of restructured meat products like heart, tripe, and scalded stomach."

Probably better for your body than the pork ribs.

I like restructured meat products. Hot dogs, hamburgers, bologna.

My Dad was a wizard. He also ate Cow brains (in a cottage cheese type container with a clear lid), and Cow Tongue. Even though the brains and tongue are probably better for you, I"ll stick with hot dogs. And salmon cooked Japanese style.

I tried to eat those white wood chips with letters on them, but found them tough to chew.

I have a hard time playing it because I have a hard time distinguishing between ‘b’ and ‘p’ . And ‘6’ and ‘9’. And these two / \ .

Well... heat does come from motion, so that is how, as Vice President, I solved our immigration problem. Unlike Donald Trump who can barely move without a wheelchair.

It’s not food. It’s just ingredients.

Thanks; but you can have mine.

The one thing I’d like to try that McDonald’s only offers in certain areas is the Lobster Roll.

(And before the New Englanders get on me - I don’t expect it to be like the real thing :-)

They feature the McRib 1-2 times per year. It’s flavory.

They try to make it sound like literally EVERYBODY loves this ridiculous thing... Well, I for one think it’s disgusting and awful.

Don’t know about these particular items you are interested in, but there are many “copycat” recipes available online. Allows you to duplicate your favorite fast food item. Big advantage is that you know what is in what you are eating.

“Try one. It’s tender pork shoulder white meat. Zero gristle. A nice sauce, a dill pickle and an onion.”

Actually they are not bad. The sauce is BBQ sauce like on Ribs, hence the Rib in McRib. So if you like pork with BBQ sauce you would like it.

But... I am going to pass from now on. The arrogance of them to play us like fools and purposely “limit” it makes me want to boycott it. I refuse to be psychologically manipulated like that, they can keep it, I’m not going to beg for it or chase it like a trained dog.

What I translate from this offer is “Want a treat? Come boy, come to me and I will reward you with a treat!”.

If they just did a good pulled pork with BBQ sauce, I might be tempted. but I don’t think that kind of thing is in their ‘business model’ - they ‘manufacture’ fast food.

I remember all that except for the green enchilada. I worked there in the mid 1980’s in high school.

My favorite was the Enchirito and the Beefy Tostada.

They have some garbage product now - a huge Cheezit cracker tostada which is a big cheese cracker with beans and stuff on it. 🤢

They have the packaging so not understanding why they don’t just go for the bean tostada or the Beefy tostada.

Right???!!! This is some psychological BS to get people to swarm with a ‘limited time!!!’ panic. Oooohhhhh oooohhhh hurry or it will be gone forever. Or until they need a cash infusion with their fake special offer!

It is creamed raw pork that is shaped and cooked in a fake rack of ribs shape covered in sugar brown sauce, 2 pickles and rehydrated onions.

I agree,nothing like pulled pork. But I figured it out a long time ago that the real reason they don’t just have it on the menu all the time is because then no one would eat their burgers much anymore. They are actually better than their burgers. lol

I remember back when they first came out, that was all anyone was ordering for several months in a row so they dropped it from the menu. It was dumb business because they were making a killing and pulling customers from other burger joints. Folks get tired of burgers and it was something different that could be had wherever there was a McDonalds. They lost all those McRib customers because they were so mad they dropped it. It had the opposite effect of what they wanted.

Lol, yep it is “programming” and then we have to drive across the country to find one... Only stupid people do that. They sell those same BBQ pork patties in the frozen section of many grocery stores. I get dinner rolls and throw a couple on there to make my own. It is a quick and easy “pork” sandwich when you are on the run and don’t have time to cook. You can’t just go buy a BBQ pork sandwich “anywhere”. Hamburgers and Chicken, yes, but not BBQ Pork or Fish sandwiches. :)

Thanks for the hit in the head. I should have checked for a copycat recipe. I’ve done that for Moe’s Adobo chicken, and Panda Express dishes. I found two copycat recipes for KFC’s Carolina Gold sauce. Will make a batch, and see how it turns out.
