McRib (Update: It's Back!) (1 Viewer)

I have never eaten a McRib or even seen a McRib in person. And I don't plan on changing that.

Why do you hate fun?

Same.

That thing looks like emergency diarrhea on a bun.

McRib looks nasty - I'm not eating that.

I did make a knockoff McRib once from a recipe on the internet. Pulled pork and rib meat in a food processor with sauce. It wasn't bad.

I’d rather just go to a good BBQ place and buy a pulled pork sandwich. I don’t want the meat injected with chemicals and pressed into a fake shape. Yuck.

Let's just be clear here - one does not have to actually eat a McRib to enjoy the cultural sensation that is McRib.

I, too, have never eaten a McRib. But I join in the celebration of all things McRib whenever the McDonald's Corporation elects to share it with us. McRib transcends food. McRib is America.

Why do you hate fun?

Well, I hate most things. But in this instance, I don't think I would find the terrible heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea, and food poisoning fun.

Besides, you can't have the cultural fun of the McRib without those who think the very thought of it is disgusting. It's like Yin and Yang, pain and pleasure, etc.

The concept of rib meat with BBQ sauce, pickles, and onions on a bun is a good one. But I'm not even sure that what McDonald's puts on the bun is technically meat although it may meet some FDA requirements to be called "meat."

I agree it's not food. But, to the extent that it is America, it's the really nasty and bad part of America. It's the symbol of America's sinking into mediocrity, imitation of what we were, and living on past glory.

Although to be fair, I think we are now reading way to much into what amounts to a huge amount of preservatives and pink slime on what could not even be called bread in Ireland.

To some I'm sure this a bright spot of 2020

 

[DaveXA]

I'm probably gonna try it at least once. I'm sure it will be terrible, but I'm a guy willing to try most things at least once.

And that might be the worst thing we can say about 2020.

I think you might need a McRib - turn that frown upside down.

Maybe I'll try to find a McDonald's inside a Wal-Mart where I can ride my electric scooter to the counter and order a six pack of McRibs with a Supersized Diet Coke.

If it's back, it's just one more reason for me to avoid McDonald's.
