McRib

[Phil Titola]

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

[Phil Titola]

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.

It always does something for me. And I enjoyed Tom's video.

Started my Thanksgiving off with a McRib value meal after the game last night. Was everything I could have hoped for.

[Stevesie60]

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.

[Stevesie60]

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

[Spracne]

Swap company with "business." Same thing, to me.
