What is a McRib?

I used to actually enjoy this, and the combination of pork, pickles, onions, and BBQ sauce seems like a no brainer. However, my memories of it being delicious no longer match what my adult pallet tastes.

I think I tried one a long time ago, and didn't care for it.

However, that article is complete trash.

I love it! Had one last Thursday, plan to get another today. They're addicting.

I love how the same people that talk about conservation and the nobility of using every part of the animal will balk at "reconstituted pork parts" and the like. What do they think "use every part of the animal" means? They'd rather eat the entrails intact, perhaps? Me, I prefer them in McRib form.

Voted "other" and that means, "Eh." I can eat it, but it isn't something I love.

It's just a big BBQ hotdog. Also, it's gross.

YES!!!! That's a perfect way to describe it.

I don't mind what it's made of, but the taste doesn't do it for me.

I think tpr loves it, troy thinks it is gross, and I can take it or leave it is because tpr doesn't know what good barbecue tastes like because he is.in Texas.

Oh, I wouldn't begin to call the McRib "good barbecue" in any sense of the phrase. There's nothing about it that qualifies as barbecue. It's a completely different food item. The fact that you would even consider using the word barbecue in relation to the McRib tells me all I need to know about the quality of barbecue wherever it is you are from.

I'll take good Texas barbecue brisket any day. But I'm too lazy to get out of my car for food some days. When someone opens up a good barbecue drive-thru, that will be the day I stop eating anything else.

Until then, McRib me!

I'm a reverse carpetbagger.

Or an infiltrator.

I'm not a yankee, I just live amongst them.

I wont even capitalize that word.

Oh, really? So, just out of curiosity, where on this map are you from?

I read recently that the reason McD's only sells the McRib for a small part of every year is because if they sold them full time at every restaurant, they would deplete the world's supply of pigs within a year.

Someone said something about that recently at work, too. Apparently we already have a bit of a pig shortage, and bacon is expensive :(
It's not me, it's someone else.
