McRib

Never discuss the vomelet.

Literally no one eats the Cheese Omelet menu. It's always thrown out. Even the lowest Private never gets stuck with it. You wouldn't wish it on your enemies. That's the highest form of torture to any human being.



Also, I always find it comical that when either Rob, Mike V, myself or someone else starts a McRib thread, the conversation always seems to lead to people trying to convince us, and others, that:

* ...the meat is fake. Define "fake". It's still pork meat, just not what you'd commonly expect. And, not surprisingly, hot dogs are largely made up of the same materials and while I know a few of you won't eat hot dogs either, the vast majority of you haters do so get off your high horse.

* ...that the bun is made from yoga mat material. Um, you do realize that the additive you're referring to, azodicarbonamide (also known as ADA), is in hundreds of other foods including those marketed as "health foods" or "healthy", right? Save us all your misplaced anger over something you're likely already ingesting in the first place.

* ....that it doesn't taste like pork. It doesn't? What "taste" are you referring to? I smoke my own pork shoulders and ribs all the time at home and know what "real BBQ" is supposed to taste like and quite frankly, while a McRib will never measure up to anything I smoke at home, it still absolutely does taste like pork.

* ...it's bad for you. Thank you, we're all perfectly aware of that already. Many things we eat in this country are "bad for you" yet many of us still eat them. There's a few out there that live on the fringe, but I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of you people still eat junk from time to time. How's that old saying go with glass houses and rocks again?

Now go have a McRib. :twofinger :cool

Going against the flow? Cool.

And, no, I won't have another McRib in this lifetime. (What did they do to make pork gristle dissolve in one's mouth?)
 
The same way a hot dog dissolves in your mouth. And again, it's not what you think it is...yes, that means it's not gristle. :rolleyes
 
I do my best to not fraternize with people who think they're too good to enjoy hot dogs.

It's just a sandwich, man... :dunno

The only reason we even talk about it is because they take it off the menu sometimes and bring it back like a special event. If it was a normal thing on the menu like the Big Mac, we wouldn't even be talking about it at all.

It's only special because McDonald's creates fake hype with limited availability. It's not even the best thing on the menu.

Not trying to be on the hate train, I eat garbage fast food sometimes too.
 
I usually get a hotdog at Costco when I renew my membership which is currently expired again. Need to get an AC before the frenzy next summer so there could be another hotdog in my near future.

Can’t imagine the thought process one goes through to willing pull into a McDonald’s over other options when hungry for food.

I am almost certain I talked about this in the last McRib thread. But I believe it was McRib season in 2018. Despite being “national” it wasn’t around here in NorCal. But I just happen to be down south in Torrance for a few days. And the McRib was all over down there. So of course I went absolutely berserk while I was there. And then the final act of psychotic obsession…instead of leaving early morning, I purposely waited around a few hours (meaning I would absolutely hose myself with LA lunchtime traffic) for all the McDonalds to switch over from breakfast to lunch so I could snag two more for the road.

How’s that for thought process!

You sir shall serve at as Sgt. at Arms in our little McRib club.
 
I was a little annoyed yesterday. I grabbed 2, and each one literally had 3 pickle slices on it.

Like WTF.
 
literally nobody is suggesting eating that crap for every meal every day.

Joyous occasions in a man’s life:

• The day Mickey D offered Sausage McMuffin with Egg 24/7 :love
• Days when Mickey D offers a 2 for 1 for the Sausage McMuffin with Egg :love
 
Remember “Super Size Me”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Size_Me

We have such good fresh food available here in the Valley of the Center of the Universe that I never eat “fast food”…

So go start a thread about your favorite farmers market? This is a thread about garbage food that's only occasionally available, and the folks who appreciate garbage food can share their experiences.

If that ain't you, why post here? I don't post in the NFL thread about why I don't watch football.
 
The same way a hot dog dissolves in your mouth. And again, it's not what you think it is...yes, that means it's not gristle, anymore. :rolleyes

:laughing

Yes, the way I remember the meat processing plant was huge industrial front loading washing machines scrubbing shredded animal bits, pulverizing everything to a pinkish slime, pumping it through hundreds of meters of stainless tubing, cooking it up in large vats with other ingredients/modifiers before injecting the goo into molds to be cooked at high temperature and pressure, then frozen and packaged into 50lb boxes to be distributed across the lands.

See that's the rubicon they have yet to cross. I'm sure someone in the South is selling these.

The McRib Country Breakfast platter: Scrambled eggs, McRib patty w/sauce, hashbrown and pancakes!

The singular challenge is packaging it so that the entire plate isn't covered in sauce. But that's a detail.
 
Barf never fails to deliver.


Didn't even know the mcrib is back, but I do know cuz of barf and not from other social media sites though :thumbup

Unfortunately your post backfired as I have modified today’s meals and have replaced an artisanal, farm to table, miso salmon salad with Mickey D’s 2A combo. Thanks!
