Time.com's Healthland story recently detailed how "this salt bomb"
with the "bizarre cult following" is made up of 70 ingredients,
including a substance most commonly used to make gym mats and shoe
soles." I'm sure they haven't changed the recipe since the original
was so successful.

This might indicate that it isn't real rib meat with holes where the
ribs were removed. Just possibly. Maybe.

And I love the pre-sauced pic of a McRib:

Looks kinda like a gym mat!

I ate one many years ago. I ate the whole thing, but never bought

Thanks, I lost my appetite for it when an image of the unsauced patty
was posted. It's probably just a composed piece of meat and I'm not
wasting my money on an experimental sandwich just to confirm it.

"piece of meat"? Don't kid yourself. I'm sure it's a well ground up
slurry containing some actual meat (or meat by products!) and lots of
chemicals, then forced into essentially an injection molding machine
and then subjected to heat for cooking, so it holds it's shape.
Probably on a very large scale machine too. 1000's produced an hour,
I'll bet.

I thought I made my point clear enough by calling it composed.

That would be a pork tenderloin sandwich, famous here in the central
farm belt.

Pork ain't the most appealing meat to look at, being a ghastly greyish
tan in color. Looks like zombie meat. The truth is that you should never
look at a piece of pork what ain't been scorched and slathered with
barbecue sauce. (-:

I had one of these legendary sandwiches today. The meat was almost but
not quite a chopped meat product. It was unseasoned with little flavor
of it's own. The sauce was your standard really sweet barbecue sauce
which supplied the main flavor. I thought the bun was pretty good -
not too soft and not too tough and the addition of pickles was a nice
touch but not not for everybody. The sliced onions isn't for everybody
either including me. I thought it was an OK sandwich. The best I can
say was there was nothing repulsive except that it was too sweet for
my taste. Next time I'll just get a hamburger.

You're one of those dry rub or nuttin' kind of guys. I've done and had

I bought one once and took one bite and spit it out. It reminded me
of that scene in the 80's remake of the Fly when Jeff Goldblum took a
steak, and cut it in half, and put half of it into his teleportation
machine and teleported it, and cooked both steaks and asked Geena
Davis to taste the teleported and reconstructed piece of meat, and she
said it tasted funny, and artificial. I imagine that teleported meat
probably tasted like a McRib.

The picture of the uncooked specimen reminded me very much of cadaver flesh
from my bio labs in college.
