Mc Rib is Back !!!

Fluby! Say it ain't so!

I think Dom N Vin's Dad will be interested. I think he had a petition going?

In his best Homer Simpson voice "Mmmmmm... porrrrkkk!"

This is one of the seven signs of the Apocalypse.

Guilty!

Cheers,

Otis

Great,
Now I can finally repair the sole of my favorite boots with something?? durable.

"pork packin delite"

You know what would make it even better? "Warsh" one down with some Red Truck! Hmmm Hmmmm good!

Whoa....flashback: In a N.H. Mickey D's, I once had a "McLobster" sandwich. I was just weird. Come to think of it, some Red Truck White would've worked.

There was a funny Simpsons episode a few years back that parodied McRibs. Krusty Burger eventually had to stop producing their version because "the small animal we used to make it was now extinct!"

Mmmmm, extinct!

I confess to this awfully guilty (or guiltily awful) pleasure. Long live the Rib-wich!

Favorite quotes from that episode:

Narrator: "We start with authentic letter-graded meat, and process the hell out of it...'til it's good enough for Krusty!"
Krusty: "Try my new Krusty Rib-Wich...mmmm! I don't mind the taste!"

Homer: "Maybe I should hook up with you guys? After all, how long do any of us have to live?"
Ribhead: "If you like the Rib-wich, not very..."

Krusty: "Look...about the rib-wich...There aren't gonna be any more. The animals we made them from are now extinct..."
Homer: "The pig?"
Otto: "The cow?"
Krusty: "You're way off! Think smaller...think more legs..."
Crowd: "Ewwwwwww...!"
Krusty: "People, we went through something magical together. And it's not important who got rich off whom, or who was exposed to tainted warts. And because you believed in my dream, I want you to fight over the last Rib-wich ever made..."

McRib is nasty. I would have jumped for joy 10 years ago to know that it was brought back...but the meat just doesn't taste right...tastes like cornmeal or some kind of cheap filler.

probably overtenderized...

I'll defer to your expertise in the matter.

I have done my share to help save the McRib....

Shame on you!

Remember the 1980s-era promo line that was simply, "The McRib...CHOWMP!"

In honor of this event, it's high time to resurrect my old signature quote.

McExcellent! It's McRib month again!

Cheers,

Otis

I am right there with you otis!!!!

Why the F don't they just put this on the regular menu? Forget the salads and lattes and crap. They're McDonalds for cripes sakes!

I have never had a Mc Rib. It sounds kinda scary like spam here in minnesota. But I suppose you could serve both with the #10 Woty.

Mystery meat with sauce on a bun.

YUCK. Hate that.

Never tried one. Never will.

The McRib has more lives than the animal they made it from- it just keeps reviving. Never had one though. I prefer pulled pork.

I love McRibs. Too bad how bad their French Fries are now. They make me gag they taste so bad now.

I saw the sign today, and I just knew that Otis would be posting about the McRib. Are you going to limit yourself to 7 per week this time, or are you still thinking that 14 weekly McRibs is ok?

More for me.

I thought the consequence of a swarm of squirrels being killed while crossing the Jersey Turnpike was the McRib. Anybody?

Never had one. Can not get my head around the whole, toss meat in a blender then pour it in a mold then cook it and make americans think it is the next great thing. Kind of like hotdog in a rib body.

I'm pretty sure you just described those mail-order Omaha steaks. Same texture exactly.

While in SoCal the last couple days, I saw a commercial for the McRib! I was so fired up. So yesterday I went to MickeyD's to load up. Alas, no McRibs in NoCal.

At least you are still healthy, and not overloaded with Trans-fat, carbs etc.

DnVD, you posted this on another thread:

Olive oil to get the rub to adhere. Kosher salt, cracked pepper, and dry mustard mixed for the rub. 500 degree oven, put the roast in, and immediately turn down to 275.

Enjoy champagne while waiting, and then a nice CaliCab with the prime rib.

My brain can't process that the Champagne/Cabernet/prime rib guy is disappointed he can't get a McRib. My head hurts.

DnVD is obviously very complex and has many layers

It is quite the paradox, isn't it?!?!

like cheeto's and a fine bordeaux...

Saw the first ad for the McRib in the Chicago area last night.

People from work have already been making McRib trips at lunch. If I weren't trying to eat healthier right now, I would head over too. Others can say what they want about it, but it is tasty.

I really hope it shows up here.

Homer Simpson: Three Ribwiches, please. And instead of a shake, I'd like a blended Ribwich.

Squeaky-voiced teen: I'm sorry, sir. The Ribwich was for a limited time only.

Homer Simpson: Not again! First you took away my Philly Fudgesteak. And then my Bacon Balls. Then my Whatchamachicken. You monster!
