McRubber. Had to make the choice tonight for cheap dinner and picked Subway instead for their version of some type of meat product instead of the McRib.

Why does it disappear? It turns out they run out of pork trimmings! So the McGoetta is not off target at all.

Had a mc rib last night... not as good as I remembered. The dog sure enjoyed the 3/4 that was left.

What the fart does "ANGUS" mean anyway? Angus beef. It's just dead cow meat ground up.

McD's should open another division of stores that sells nothing but McRibs, french fries and malt liquor.

I agree, Seamus.........

McD's has their own version as well. While they're fit for human consumption, I wouldn't recommend it.

Weren't the Angus burgers a creation of BK, not McD's? Or did the golden arches offer a version as well?

I almost had one today but then I remembered I didn't like the one I had 4 or 5 years ago. What I did have was one of their thoroughly disgusting "angus" burgers. I'm sure I would have been better off with the Mcrib.

Having had both of them, you are correct in your assumption. Those angus burgers taste like what I would imagine space-age reconstituted hamburger pills (just add water) like on The Jetsons, would taste like.

The McRib is the best sandwich that McD's ever invented and I loved them. Pork, bbq sauce, onions, and dill pickels. Wonderful.

Would you prefer a McGoetta instead?

Thanks for the pre-dawn laugh!

perfect timing of it's return, just another horror of Halloween season

Usually I get it to go and bring it home and toast the bun more properly.

Still I wonder what all the hullabaloo about scientists being able to synthetically create meat last year. McDonalds has been doing it for decades.

Hey, I once tried a sausage McGriddle, and it was pretty darned good.

My friend put together a bacon/swiss/onion ring McRib today, then sent me a picture of it. Darn people testing my resolve to eat healthier...

First off, the McRib is coming back throughout the chain, not just Columbus.

Mr. Hoffman's closed mind on the subject reinforces my opinion of the Ohio State University.

A McRib is as good a reason as any to get drunk and/or stoned.

Apparently you've already achieved a mental state in which fact turns to fiction. I liked the damned thing, and Ohio State University had nothing to do with it. So much for my "closed mind on the subject." Additionally, you might wish to go back and look at ScreamingChicken's post, which states rather clearly, "It's back, through November 14 at all U.S. locations."

Is this really warranted? He said he liked it in a post from a year ago.

Check out all the posts, michaelcarraher.

I am the one who will not give it another try. Hated it twice. That's enough.

Don't know if they're doing it everywhere, but around here if you buy a McRib meal, you get a second McRib for a buck.

This may explain the mystique of the McRib. Personally, I consider it a pretty good sandwich. I recoginize that it a processed pork. So is balogna, hot dogs and numerous other meats that we consume and enjoy. McRib is nothing more than that except with the sweet sauce, pickles, onions and processed pork, it taste pretty good.

I have only had one this go around and I found it pretty tasty.

I'm pretty sure each McRib starts out as a shake-like substance...all ground up and gooey before it gets injected into the rib-like mold...Maybe McDonalds could sell it by the bag for home use.

not much unlike sausage.

True, but sausage has the good taste to not mimic some other food substances...Sausage is true to its origins.....but then sausage does not have a marketing department or a catchy jingle.

I finally tried one today and it wasnt horrible. I'm not sure i'd order it again (i'm a sucker for Big Macs if I eat at McD's), but i wouldnt turn one down.

Honestly, it reminded me of a piece of school cafeteria salisbury steak with BBQ sauce on it. The onions were fresh and good and the pickles were a nice addition. Like I said, it wasnt bad, but I wouldnt go crazy trying to ever find one again.
