Yes, I'm planning to do it. I am going to find a McRib sandwich and
cross my fingers it's just like it used to be: A real piece of rib
meat minus the bone. There were actual pockets where the bone used to
be; it wasn't that pathetic ground pork patty with fake grill marks
they tried to pass off as a McRib later on - but at 29 grams of fat, I
think I'll limit myself to just one.

My quest begins here http://kleincast.com/maps/mcrib.php Supposedly
ALL McDonald's locations will be selling McRib sandwiches through Nov.
14... but that remains to be seen because the two McDonald's closest
to me aren't on the map yet.

I think I'm one of about 4 people in the world who has never had a
McRib and don't plan on ever having one.

Don't do it! There are so many wonderful ways to create a great rib and so
many cooks here. If you've a need for a rib sandwich, I'm sure we can get
you there. The McRib? Gag a goat. Polly

I have been in McDonalds maybe a half dozen times. The last two times
were on hot summer nights and I went through the drive thru and ordered
a milk shake, only to be told the machine was broken. I did not like
their food. Maybe they got better. I will never know, but I doubt it.

To be perfectly honest, that "glued" crap doesn't matter to me. I am
simply looking for the original McRib, not a ground up shadow of it.
What other people choose to buy is up to them.

Be glad you couldn't get a "milkshake". The last time I bought one,
it hadn't melted hours later.

I never tried one of those when they were real. What is the attraction?
I've been making really tender pork lately, be it chops or country
style "ribs" and any of the cuts I've been cooking could be eaten in a
bun if I wanted it that way. I just don't get the hype of the McRib.

Simple. They are not a hamburger, a change of pace from the routine. Many
people eat out because they are travelling or otherwise not at home to have
a sandwich that you can make. Unless you can offer an alternative to
everyone that has to stop for a bite to eat, the McRib will sell.

I'm one of the other three... never had one. Not that I wouldn't try
it, but McDonald's is far down on my list for hamburger joints.

I think you left out the 'billion' after the 4. I'll make the
vegan ribs with cedar 'bones' [p140, "The Complete Guide to Vegan Food
Substitutions"] before I'd order a McRib.

I've never had a McRib. (I don't think I ever knew there was a McRib that
wasn't made from formed pressed meat of some kind.) As for the milkshakes,
when I was a kid they were a rare treat and McD's made good ones. A few
years before my mom died we were in town one day when she got a craving for
a milkshake. First thing that came to mind was McD's. She was absolutely
shocked at the price! (I don't remember the exact price but it was close to
$4.) She had no complaints about the milkshake itself. It was so thick
she needed a spoon, but IIRC they always made thick milkshakes.

Also, get yourself a good boning knife, or paring knife. Once you
have done your ribs, oven or smoker or grill or whatever, bone them
out and make a sandwich. Much better than anything you can get at
MD's.

There's only a jillion better pork sandwich options available. Banh
Mi's, torta's, Cuban, pulled pork, ham, etc ad nauseum. As you say,
jes slapping a pork chop on a bun is a quantum leap of better. Hell,
jes go to any supermkt and buy the slow baked baby back ribs sold in
bubble paks in almost all deli depts --often at huge discount-- strip
the meat off (usually that tender!) and put it between some bread.
The thought of opting for a McAnything abomination is too ludicrous to
even contemplate.

According to my son, who works at McD's, it's a "chopped and formed" pork
patty. It's cooked on the grill, dipped in sauce, then put on a toasted bun
with onions and pickles.

Sure looks like meat glue was used. Typical corporate crap. The only think

I must admit I have a "love affair" with the McRib sandwiches, whenever
they bring them back "for a limited time" to the McDonalds closest to
us. It certainly looks and tastes like any actual rib I've ever eaten,
only without the bone, and the sauce, etc. makes it twice as yummy!

The only times I usually go there, is when my friends and I go to a
movie, we will head for McDonalds after, for "senior coffee" and
dessert...the brownie sundae, or the warm apple pie ala mode is great,
as is their freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies. Nothing else is open
at that time, for food and a snack, and we can sit there for as long as
we like and gab.

I also like swinging by the drive-thru on a cold winter day and getting
a cup of their hot cocoa, but as far as sandwiches, and other food go,
I'd rather go across the street to Subway, if in a hurry, but those
McRibs "lure" me in everytime! )

Well, they did and that's what I'm looking for when they claim
"McRib".

THANK YOU! I'll take a pass and not expend any more effort on my
quest.

They now have pumpkin pies, along with the apple and cherry. Son says they
are pretty good.

You forgot to mention the best pork sandwich of all; fried spam n'
eggs open faced on a toasted english muffin with hollandaise.

A real rib sandwich that can be had at a McDonald's seems unlikely. I
did not know one ever existed but I'd buy one. Actually, a pork sandwich
sounds good at this moment - even one made from ground pork scraps in a
funky dollhouse food shape.

I had a pork sandwich yesterday. It was made from a glazed piece of
smoked pork with bell peppers and onions and mushrooms. Oh boy!

I think the last time I had one of those, Win98 hadn't been released.
:-) There must be something to it since folks seem to be getting
exciting about it. Will try to catch one of those during the 2011 McRib
cycle.

I'd certainly prefer it.

Well, it was real meat. That's my personal experience - not hearsay.

Oddly enough, a woman just brought me a char sui bao. Ask and you shall
receive, I guess. She also bought me a wrapped Chinese pork hash and
vinegar cucumbers and a chow fun noodle dish. I had already bought
breakfast so I also have Portuguese sausage, eggs, Spam and rice and
grilled cornbread. What a funky breakfast. :-)
