here's actual info about the mcrib, nothing that shocking:

There is "very little actual rib meat in a McRib." "Primarily, it's shoulder meat," Rob Cannell, director of McDonald's U.S. supply chain, explained to the magazine. But according to a University of Nebraska study, you're really eating restructured pig innards coated in salt, specifically tripe, heart, and scalded stomachs.



"Just like a burger patty is formed to be round and flat, we form the iconic McRib in the shape of traditional ribs. We then flash freeze the patty to seal in flavor and freshness, just like you freeze meat in your own freezer, before going to our restaurants."
Again from Cannell: "The McRib is made in large processing plants—lots of stainless steel, a number of production lines, and these long cryogenic freezers. The pork meat is chopped up, then seasoned, then formed into that shape that looks like a rib back. Then we flash-freeze it. The whole process from fresh pork to frozen McRib takes about 45 minutes."

I read an article once that cited that one of the ingredients of the McRib was ground up, pulverized industrial rubber floor mats. :eek: From what I can remember from having tasted one, it makes sense!

:rollno:

The McRib must be the most maligned fast food menu item ever.

It's processed pork. Yeah, there's some meat, some fat, some grizzle in there. Just like pork. One of the networks even went so far as to say it looks ugly in its frozen state, so it must be poison. Um, most of the stuff you get at fast food restaurants (and from the frozen food section of your grocery store for that matter) looks ugly in its frozen state.

So it's basically sausage.

My burger came in a suitably sweaty bun, the meat was greyish and was compressed into a disk no deeper than a CD case. To garnish, a handful of raw, coarsely chopped white onion was joined with an exuberant dose of rich, surprisingly sweet mayonnaise. The top half of the bun was sitting on at a jaunty angle. Everything was served at a charming temperature just above that of the human body. I think the chefs subscribed to the 'keep warm under a yellow light bulb' school of cooking. Disgusting.

Well when you put it THAT way, I can't wait to eat there!

Umm, a $1.80 for a sausage and egg burrito + coffee for breakfast. One dollar lunch for a fry burger and water. One dollar and 49 cents for a Whooper Jr and water for supper.

At BK!

That's $4.29 a day to eat.

And then I grab my shopping cart, look for aluminum cans and find a nice section of side walk for the night.

I love America!

I remember the last time I ate McDonald's. Nuggets on a hangover last year. I don't remember the last time I ate McDonald's before that.

I don't remember the last time I ate Burger King, but it was French Toast Sticks and it was a really long time ago... College, probably... 15 years or so.

The only fast food I really eat is Good Times and a local place called Snarfburger. Few and far between though... Less than once a month.
