I think I'm one of about 4 people in the world who has never had a
McRib and don't plan on ever having one.

You shouldn't. It's a heart stopper.

Damn. Doesn't look very hopeful, does it? Those 29 fat grams are
screaming ground meat to me too.

Don't do it! There are so many wonderful ways to create a great rib and so
many cooks here. If you've a need for a rib sandwich, I'm sure we can get
you there. The McRib? Gag a goat. Polly

I have been in McDonalds maybe a half dozen times. The last two times
were on hot summer nights and I went through the drive thru and ordered
a milk shake, only to be told the machine was broken. I did not like
their food. Maybe they got better. I will never know, but I doubt it.

To be perfectly honest, that "glued" crap doesn't matter to me. I am
simply looking for the original McRib, not a ground up shadow of it.
What other people choose to buy is up to them.

Actually, Polly, the original was good. That's why I was hoping this
was it.

Be glad you couldn't get a "milkshake". The last time I bought one,
it hadn't melted hours later.

I never tried one of those when they were real. What is the attraction?
I've been making really tender pork lately, be it chops or country
style "ribs" and any of the cuts I've been cooking could be eaten in a
bun if I wanted it that way. I just don't get the hype of the McRib.

<shrug> It was real meat and it was tasty. Why do you go to a rib
joint or a sandwich joint for food?

Simple. They are not a hamburger, a change of pace from the routine. Many
people eat out because they are travelling or otherwise not at home to have
a sandwich that you can make. Unless you can offer an alternative to
everyone that has to stop for a bite to eat, the McRib will sell.

McD tried to sell a Philly cheesesteak. It got laughed off their menu in a
month or so. I bet the McRib got laughed out of Memphis in no time flat!!!

McD even tried to reintroduce the McRib last year "for a limited time
only!" HA!!!

The McRib can't possibly be real rib meat. Probably just pressed/formed pig
scraps dripping in a chemically flavored BBQ sauce. How is it they all look
identical?!!

McD has never been and will never be known for food excellence!!!

ICK!!!

I'm one of the other three... never had one. Not that I wouldn't try
it, but McDonald's is far down on my list for hamburger joints.

I think you left out the 'billion' after the 4. I'll make the
vegan ribs with cedar 'bones' [p140, "The Complete Guide to Vegan Food
Substitutions"] before I'd order a McRib.

I've never had a McRib. (I don't think I ever knew there was a McRib that
wasn't made from formed pressed meat of some kind.) As for the milkshakes,
when I was a kid they were a rare treat and McD's made good ones. A few
years before my mom died we were in town one day when she got a craving for
a milkshake. First thing that came to mind was McD's. She was absolutely
shocked at the price! (I don't remember the exact price but it was close to
$4.) She had no complaints about the milkshake itself. It was so thick
she needed a spoon, but IIRC they always made thick milkshakes.
