I knew some of the comments, but not all. Kind of interesting. I never found an interest in it. I might have tried it one time but I'm not a fanatic even though I like sausage sandwiches. I'd take a few sausage mcmuffins (hold the plastic "cheese") and save the difference in cost. They're nuts.

I have to say I have not ate a Mc Rib and plan to never eat at that Mc place again. They offered buy one get one for a penny on their big Mc I am sorry to say I was suckered in. I had my Shih Tzu Zada with me she would not even eat it good thing we got fries. If the dog won't eat it it must not be real food sure did not taste like it. Patty

I didn't read the entire article - figure I need to wolf down a few more of these things before I get grossed out! My wife bought me one a week or two ago, so maybe we got an early release in a select location?

In general I'm a sucker for boneless "ribs" as long as I don't bite into hard chunks of fat or other material that's not been ground down enough to be unrecognizable. In reality I think I just like barbecue sauce!

Two comments on my recent McRib experience:

1) The pickles threw me for a loop. I like pickles but they seemed out of place on the sandwich.

2) TOO SMALL!!! I believe you should at least feel full - and preferably feel sick to your stomach - after a fast food meal. Even with fries, the McRib didn't meet the minimum criteria.

I just wish they'd bring back fried apple pies.

You're so right Bumblebees, the baked things are awful. Nobody goes to McVomit to get health food!

And yes, pickles on them. Ugh. Like Arby's when they used to have the great Q sandwich made from real chunks of beef, but they'd ruin it by putting pickles on it.

patty, the only thing my Sheltie, Cooper, will eat at McDonald's is the chicken sandwich off the dollar menu, although I do plead guilty to drinking their coffee occasionally.

One day I'd stopped at McD's and gotten a sandwich for Cooper and my daughter, Ashley, laughed. She said "what a ringing endorsement for McDonald's. You won't eat their food, but you do feed the dog there". LOL

I read the McRib article, BTW. It's made of bleached stomach, tripe and heart. Yup, it's offal. Or is that awful? LOL

And that'll teach me. I don't eat fast food as a general rule, if we go through a drive through my normal response is "I'm not hungry, thank you". However, a couple of times a year I'll go to my local A&W and get a chili cheese dog and a root beer. They still have car hops and the root beer comes in those frosty mugs. I don't want to know what's in those hot dogs, or in the chili, or what unholy ingredient makes the cheese stay liquid.

Although I absolutely love love love the sausage biscuit, there's no way I'd eat another McRib. The first time it came out I tried one and even back then I thought it was gross - and back then fast food was at least a twice-weekly event. BTW, I do occasionally get a McDouble and fries, my dog will eat the burger, but won't touch the fries. The biggest problem I see with the burgers is the amount of salt in them.

I ate one when they first came out and wasn't impressed. I wouldn't buy one again. I prefer the fish or chichen sandwich.

Generally speaking I can't do fast food but I must admit to giving into a KFC dinner or a Wendy's Spicy Crunchy Chicken Sandwich maybe twice a year.

Having said that I am a sucker for good wings or burgers at a good Pub style restaurant. They really are no better for you. They just cost more but clog the arteries and bunge the colon just as much as McRib.

Ticks me that good has to be bad....

Talk to Mae West. She's the expert.

So what fine wine pairs well with McRib?

What fine wine? Not sure these days. They don't make Ripple anymore. Is Thunderbird still around? Mad Dog 20/20? 3buck Chuck is probably too good to go with it.
