Food McRib, yum...........

I found this tidbit quite interesting:

So McRib afficionados in effect are feasting on gym mats and shoe soles. Delicious!!! The complete story is in Time magazine: http://healthland.time.com/2011/10/27/why-lovin-the-mcrib-isnt-a-heart-smart-idea/

 

I would not have been surprised to read there are additives in the 'meat' but in the bun? wtf?

 

It is just too easy to eat at McDonalds. When I traveled extensively, there was always an McDonalds nearby. It was always my last resort. But sometimes there wasn't much else. Used to think their grilled chicken sandwich wasn't that bad, but considering it came in a bun, who knows?

 

I try to stick to the breakfast menu at McDs. But even with the promise of ingesting a gym mat I'm still gonna get me a McRib.

 

I've had two McRibs so far this go around, and i expect a couple more before they go away again.

I don't know what my limit is on foreign materials allowed in my food is, but I haven't reached it yet with the McRib.


/might start going to the gym more
// with knife and fork, of course

 

Mmmm Rotten Ronnies!

I have eaten there 3 times so far in 2011. I tried really hard to make it 0 but its hard when your friends are driving and they say "the only place we are stopping at is McDonalds, if you don't like it too bad."

 

So is it because I live in a suburban area that there so many other food choices? I was getting the impression that places like Jason's Deli, Noodles & Co., even Culver's were beginning to take root along side junk food joints. Personally, I think McDonald's is Satan in restaurant form. In part at least the 'obesity epidemic' was a result of cheap, fast food. I admit, I will when travelling the 401 Hwy across southern Ontario buy a coffee at McD's as they were/are the ONLY choice on the highway for long stretches. Thankfully, they are being/have been torn down in favour of ...Tim Horton's (donuts). Hee.

 

When I first saw that the McRib was coming back, the first thing that came to mind was a BBQ pork sandwich. I don't know the history of the sandwich, but it seems like a really American kind of thing; dry-rubbed pork that's been slow-cooked for hours until brilliantly tender and juicy, then pulled apart, slathered in Carolina style barbecue sauce, and slapped inside a fresh bun with some coleslaw... And if you really want a homemade McRib, caramelize some onions in lard or bacon grease and mix it in with the slaw. Oh sweet baby Jesus, that's good.

Instead of having a sandwich with sole, you get a sandwich with soul.

 

I can still remember, as a kid, when the McRib was actually real rib meat pulled away from the bone. It was a great sandwich back then and it is practically blasphemous to refer to this thing by the same name.

 

McRib MREs are the fuckin bomb next to beef ravioli. i'm still undecided on how good they are compared to the almighty chilimac combo, but i digress...

 

We've always had the McRib in Germany since I can remember (that is, since 15 years ago).

Still have 'em. Without the gym mats or shoes.

Still bloody tasty.

 

God, you people will eat anything.

 

Want some McNuggets?

 

I'd rather eat a bowl of greasy goat meat offered to me by some roadside weirdos outside Gardez.
