McRib and McDonald's: The McRib Makes a Comeback
Ew. Everytime I hear the phrase McDonald's McRib, all I can thin of is an actual rib, like one from our body, placed on a bun with some sauce. I know that's not what the McDonald's McRib looks like - it's actually worse. It's actually a boneless rib, a bunch of square shaped pork, plopped on a bun with some sauce.
If you travel, however, you would learn that other countries that have McDonald's in their cities and towns have some odd sounding selections as well. For instance, in Asia, they have a McHotdog Mega Sausage for breakfast as well as Filet o Shrimp. In India, they have the McVeggie which is breaded potatoes and peas. And in Moscow, Russia, they serve fried chicken wings.
I have never tried this McDonald's McRib, because it just sounds unappealing. They dress the sandwich with their typical pickles, onions and barbecue sauce, so maybe that's the key to its success. It is, however, 500 calories, so if you are watching your weight, maybe it's not for you.
Local American franchises usually choose when to sell the McRib, typically some time in November, but if you have the craving, check your local McDonald's or their website.
A little trivia about the McDonald's McRib. If you crave it that much, (because for some people the McRib is like a cult in its own right,) since it is a sesonal item, get on a plane and travel to Germany. They sell the McDonald's McRib all year round.

Post a CommentOh good! Another item I don't have to spend money on!
I've had the McRib and Although they say it's pork, I have my qualms as to what part og the pig they grind up and place in the mold to design it. I have a pet peeve about all the chemicals that we are being fed. Preservitives, unpronouncibal other chemicals along with monosodium gludimate (spelling). They put all this garbage in our foods now-a-days and then wonder why we are all over weight and why we are contracting all the deseases that are going around. If the sold us real food, we would all be healthier.
Yes, ewww, that's exactly what I think everytime I see the picture for the McRib.
"Ew" is right! I don't get the attraction, cheers :)
well written - thank you
I believe I have eaten it. I believe I have never eaten it twice. :)
It's all in the marketing, And McD is a supreme marketer! Lots of folks like anything called "ribs" or "BBQ." The McRibs, whatever they are, appeal to those folks.
McGross!
eargh! you beat me to the punch! haha! i would NEVER eat a McRib
Thanks Julie:0)
