How th3 eff do th3y do it?
-
the plant where they make the mcrib is down here. you don't wanna know how it is made, you'll never eat it again. :barf:
-
Have never eaten a mcrib. not even remotely appetizing.
-
Probably a lot like a chicken nugget. Grind up a bunch of spinal cords, anuses, snouts, and ears. Place it in a mold that looks like ribs and BOOM a McRib!
-
It's not like hamburgers aren't basically made the same way.

WTF? who the shazbot! is talking about hamburgers?
-
Well, someone mentioned that mcribs and mcnuggets are both cobbled together from various parts of the animal and shaped into a more eye pleasing form. So are hamburgers.
-
shazbot?
lol

Hamburgers are made of meat idiot.
-
So are mcnugs and mcribs. They also have soy and who knows what else. Why do you think e coli is really only a factor with ground beef? They used to even include pieces of spinal cord in burgers until the whole mad cow thing.

just stop posting.

Fun fact: The very first McRib was initially test marketed in Kansas City.
-
McRib is gross. I remember 1st time I tried it I thought it would be good but it wasn't.
-
Fun fact: I literally just finished my first McRib, ever. It was pretty damn tasty. The bbq sauce is great, I would like to have a bottle of it in my fridge. And I got a second one for a buck. Yahtzee!!
-
Yeah, I had my first one ever last night. It was ok, but it is crazy how it is just like the meat around ribs but there are no ribs. :ck:
-
Update: the McRib burps have commenced. Not as unpleasant as you might think.
-
McRib isn't bad. When I McRib, I go sans onions.

Good lord, that's part of the whole experience. Onions and pickles.
-
Gotta agree with Pete here. The pickles and onion are key. Only thing that would be better would be some slaw.
-
LOL at people who think they are authentic by still being in the mcrib cult.
-
What's authentic about a mass produced pork product sold by the largest fast food chain in the world? :dunno:

do not understand pickles with bbq. I love pickles and I love bbq but not together.
-

I didn't know about the "cult." I just like tasty sandwiches.
-
Yeah, just google that crap. Some weirdos went batshit crazy when they stopped selling them originally. There are some real rough ridin' nutjobs out there. I'm not a member obviously, I just had my first one today. I doubt I have another one this go-round but I imagine I'll grab one next year. (Or whenever they come back. Not exactly sure of the timeframe.)

I hated them when they first came out. Then I found out why.................

the mcrib is one of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time. Consider this....the largest fast food chain in the world sells a bbq sandwich that's relatively popular, but not the best seller by any means.....so they decide to shelf it, and once a year they bring it back for a while and promote the hell out of it, and people gobble that crap up. It has gone from a so-so sandwich to some sort of pop culture icon.
-
Disney does the same thing with some of their movies. No one gives a eff about buying Cinderella until the start advertising that it's "going back in the vault" for some inordinate amount of time.
-
I guess the McRib is the Cadbury Egg of fast food sandwiches.
-
excellent comparison, imo

Yep, and let's be frank, if you don't like the McRib at least enough to get one every time it is re-released then you probably a loser and smell bad as well.

Imagine the video "Two Girls One Cup" in a meat production facility and you have mcribs/chicken nuggets/processed formed meat products. :barf:

meh, alot of the crap we eat is disgustingly put together. As long as I don't see it, i'm alright.

To be fair, McD's could put BBQ sauce and those onions on pretty much anything, and half their customers would shovel it in and declare it delicious.

Had one a little over an hour ago. As always, it was a pleasant dining experience.
-
Yeah, I had my first one ever last night. It was ok, but it is crazy how it is just like the meat around ribs but there are no ribs. :ck:
As much as I love McRibs, this has always been kind of WTF for me. Why do they bother making the rib shapes in the rib patty thing? Still fricking delicious though.

QT used to have a pork sandwich that tasted pretty much exactly the same, except it was just a regular patty shape. Not sure if they still sell them or not, I'll have to do some investigating.

QT used to have awesome burgers. Something changed. Now they suck. Please investigate this simultaneously. TIA

I'm guessing they take a bunch of pork remnants and puree them, then flavor the paste with an artificial pork flavor, add preservatives, maybe some thickeners, then shape the patties into McRibs
-
That double pork puree is pretty damn tasty.

So much for the last dance.

One of my buddies bought like 40 of these things and freezes them for later use. He maybe a little insane.

That sounds really gross. But perhaps I have low freezing IQ.

I inquired about this and he said it comes out better. He removes the onions and pickles if you are wanting to go on this journey. I have LFIQ as well.
-
I’m good for one per release.
I have know idea of it is related, but there is an industrial plant of some sort on the south side of hwy 50 just west of Newton that said “McRib” on it.
I always wonder if they used to produce them there
Edit: I think it actually says riblet, not mcrib
-
the QT version is just as good (if they still have it I haven't seen it for awhile)

Those little Tennessee pride suasage biscuits cook up really nice in the microwave in like 45 secs
-
Did anyone else have a poor man's version of the McRib served in their school cafeteria? We did. There would be hard bits of bone in the pressed meat from time to time.

Sometimes they had a special deal if you bought a McRib value meal you could add another McRib for $1. What a time to be alive.
-
X-post to the FOOD I JUST INVENTED thread but:
The McRibble.
Which is exactly what it sounds like it’s the meat/sauce/accoutrements of the McRib housed betwixt 2 buttery pancakes with a hint of maple syrup.
Update: I threw up, do not make this
-
I've given it considerable thought and I've decided that buying 40 McRibs and freezing them is a sure fire sign of mental illness.
-
It’s a sure fire sign of diarrhea surely firing out of your butthole

When I was in the packing plant phase of my career, we shipped tons of boneless pork shoulder for the McRib.

Yep same and I don't plan on ever doing it.

Had one tonight. It scratched an itch.

Started my Thanksgiving off with a McRib value meal after the game last night. Was everything I could have hoped for.
-
I noticed at the store yesterday that everything pork was on sale. Everything besides ham, of course, due to the proximity of Thanksgiving when people will be buying it disirregardlessly of price. Why is this interesting? To the general public, it's probably not. But to me, it was VERY interesting.
Why would McDonald's not do the McRib year round? Sure, there's marketing strategy in pretending it's a limited commodity. But I thought, maybe McDonald's just waits until pork is discounted because of the need for ham, without a need for the rest of the pig parts. And therefore, I wondered, is McRib always back around Thanksgiving and Christmas? So I looked it up and sure enough, in the US it always "returns" in late October/early November then is done basically right after xmas. So now you know how to set our calendars for its return in 2024.
I hope all my detective work was somewhat entertaining for you.

This was already covered in Tom's video. The annual trough (no pun intended) in the pork market occurs around November. McDonald's smartly plays the commodities market to buy low and sell high. McDonald's is an excellent company.
-
I did all that work and it was posted 6 rough ridin' posts before mine?

Yeah. Plus, most McHeads like me already knew that stuff long ago. Don't feel bad, though.

Well, I don’t know that they’re an excellent company, but they’re excellent at being a business
-
Swap company with "business." Same thing, to me.
-
Hmm, I agree with BAC. Business has a purely financial connotation to me while company includes things like ethics
-
All this McDonald's business savvy talk made me think about the movie "The Founder". Anybody else see that movie? (x-post movies thread)

I think several reviews have been posted in the Movies thread and IIRC it made everyone strongly dislike or hate Ray Kroc's guts. But the McRib is still great, you gotta separate art from the artist sometimes.

No ethical consumption under capitalism etc etc

Hope you McRib lovers are aware that they are made the same way chicken McNuggets are made, that is pig scraps. All the nasty crap that no one would eat is cooked and formed to make the McRib. Yum, yum. :Ugh:

It's boneless pork shoulder, not scraps or trimmings. Boston butt with the shoulder blade removed then ground and formed into the McRib. Scraps and trimmings all go to bologna or hot dogs.
