McRib

Will you miss the McRib sandwich? McDonalds is doing a rather clever campaign called the McRib Farewell Tour. Come get your McRibs since it's available for a limited time! I swear that sandwich is a guilty pleasure. It's great for the first few bites and then the salty aftertaste kills it. Has anybody tried the cinnamon melts and southern style chicken sandwich yet?

There was a Simpsons episode that covered this. Homer went on a tour with other 'Ribheads' who went searching for the last Krustyburger joints that were selling their version of the rib sandwich.

I have not seen the other items advertised around here. Just the snackwrap. You mentioned elsewhere that they have a lobster roll in the New England area. I have not heard of that either.

I know exactly what the Mcrib is made out of,so I wont touch it with a 10 foot pole....

I miss the McRib. Yeah, it wasn't even close to being "real", but you're right, it was a guilty pleasure. I haven't seen it around the DC area in ages (probably because it isn't politically correct!) Haven't had the other items (yet).

Hello All

Must say i liked the Mcrib, as said before you know it's not real but tasty the same. Have't seen them in the Annapolis area in quite in while.

Hasn't McRib had more farewell tours than Streisand and Sinatra combined?

Haven't seen it advertised in my area in years. Had one in the early 80s and I still remember it well enough that I'll never miss it.

This thread should be moved to the FFF forum

I cannot imagine putting a McRib into my body.

You mean they put that much stuff in it and they still can't kill the taste of rancid pork fat and gristle???

I loved it when it first came out..then I found a less expensive twin at AM/PM for when I get that pork product craving.. and theirs is available year round...

One word for the McRib - McNasty

fungal protease......I'm just drooling.

Please send to the FFR thread.

You'll get that in any restaurant's bread I suppose, unless very diligent to such things.

I was thinking of moving it to "Prime Cut's" just to see how long it would last there?

How does one make "natural smoke flavor?"

Eat Beans.(Or perhaps a McRib!)

Pray tell, how is a stating of pure simple truth "whining"?

(to papajoe re: his question in the following post: I have no suggestions nor input)

TJ, what is your input on the suggestion that... if you think a thread is in the wrong place, advise a moderator, as they have the final say, and that way there is no need to discuss this matter on the thread itself. We can discuss my run on sentances anouther time. :~)

I have never had a McRib, hmmm? I could see making my own version using pulled ( just off the bone ) rib meat maybe?
Joe

I,myself,dont see the harm in having a discussion not within certain boundries.I "ditto"Papajoe...//and joe-any rib pulled off the bone on a sandwich is a McPeeples!!!!

It must be like artificial vanilla extract, where they make artificial vanilla and then make an extract out of it.

What IS fungal protease???
