I can actually say I have never had one of those "Thingys".....so they actually do taste good???

cop414 · 25 October 2013, 03:59 AM

More power to ya... never liked them.

The Joker · 25 October 2013, 04:05 AM

Yes, they are very popular. Now that I'm eating better I don't get them but once or twice each time they are back.

I wouldn't eat a rib sandwich with real bones in it, so why would anyone want one fake ones molded into it?

Any product that molds fake bones in to make it look more like its name scares the crap out of me.

I can't bring myself to eat one.

mjclark32 · 25 October 2013, 04:25 AM

Only made it through about half of one a couple years ago

Grumpy Badger · 25 October 2013, 04:35 AM

Why does this immediately spring to mind...

Krusty: Listen, about the Ribwich. We won't be making them anymore. The animal we made them from is now extinct.
Homer: The pig?
Otto: The cow?
Krusty: You're way off. Think smaller...think more legs.

I wouldn't put one of those things I'm my mouth if you paid me!

Yes I've wondered why it's called Mcrib, and there's no ribs in it.

It's a product of "restructured meat technology." so guess they could make it any shape they wanted, and decided to make it look like ribs, and more appetising.

bayerische · 25 October 2013, 04:39 AM

I've never tasted McRib! I'm sure it's good.

...rather than make it look like snouts and sphincters to make it look more accurate...?!

Grumpy Badger · 25 October 2013, 04:44 AM

Baco Noir · 25 October 2013, 05:16 AM

Google just made me very happy that I've never eaten one...

3. The McRib is a product of "restructured meat technology."

Rene Arend came up with the idea and design of the McRib, but it's a professor from the University of Nebraska named Richard Mandigo who developed the "restructured meat product" that the McRib is actually made of.

According to an article from Chicago magazine, which cites a 1995 article by Mandigo, "restructured meat product" contains a mixture of tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, which is then mixed with salt and water to extract proteins from the muscle. The proteins bind all the pork trimmings together so that it can be re-molded into any specific shape — in this case, a fake slab of ribs.

The Joker · 25 October 2013, 05:23 AM

Yes but all that is irrelevant, they smothered it in BBQ sauce.

I'd probably eat a bar of soap if it was covered with BBQ sauce.

If this description doesn't make you want to vomit I don't know what will.

BNA/LION · 25 October 2013, 07:16 AM

Parts is Parts!

Instruction for making a McRib;
1) Collect meat parts
2) Put meat parts in grinder
3) Compact meat parts in McRib former
4) Make thousands of formed McRibs from various meet parts and ship internationally
Yummmmy? I think not.

Lisa · 25 October 2013, 07:24 AM

I'm sorry, Art... but after the "pink slime" publicity I just can't bring myself to go anywhere near a McDonald's. (runs off to barf...)

But hey.... ya going to eat all of those fries?

Foxy1 · 25 October 2013, 07:35 AM

Seeing that I am quite pleased that I can say I have never been in a McDonald's or eaten their food.

McRibs are delicious, the one and only thing I would go to McD's to enjoy.

I'd gnaw my arms off first.

Azodicarbonamide is used in the production of foamed plastics. Supposedly, in Australia and Europe, the use of azodicarbonamide as a food additive is banned. In Singapore, use of this substance in food can result in a $450,000 fine and 15 years in jail.

No BBQ sauce can cover that restructured "meat" and connective tissues.

No, thank you.

lig · 25 October 2013, 12:34 PM

Rarely do I say "never" but in this instance it applies.

Never again will I order one of those things. Yech.

Wonder how that yummy meal of pig hearts and secret sauce is sitting with the op after reading this thread....

Art hasn't followed up yet. My guess is he's still dry heaving trying to get any remnants out after realizing what he ate!
