I love the McRib. They kick ass. Has pork, onions, dill pickle, bbq sauce and a nice tasting bun.
 
McRib’s have a cult following. I think some markets do better than others and this is where the McRib can be found.
 
In China (where I am) they had the McRib meat, but they made a different kind of sandwich with it, with mayonnaise and shaved cabbage/carrot . I could still taste the fake bbq taste.
 
I wish they served McDonalds breakfast food all day. Their breakfast food is pretty decent for what it is. I love the Egg McMuffin and those hash browns (which I wish they sold all day!)

Ok, no one has even acknowledged my idea for the McRib Shake. Not actually a shake cause it must be blended in a blender. I think a homemade vanilla would be best but some in my family think maybe chocolate would be better? Hey… have it your way I always said. But, someone stole that saying but … that’s another story! Anyway… Chocolate or  Vinilla??? for a McRib Shake??????? Ok, Ok, have it your way then!!!!!

I’m pretty sure each McRib starts out as a shake-like substance…all ground up and gooey before it gets injected into the rib-like mold…Maybe McDonalds could sell it by the bag for home use.

I guess I have never gotten overly excited about the McRib sandwich because here in the Cincinnati area JTM makes the same riblet patty and sells them every day in the grocery stores, fry or grill your own and use your own sauce too
 
 

I am, as I type this, eating my very first McRib.

I like it!

 
It is a sandwich and I appreciate your report.
 
Quite frankly, I enjoyed it also.  I think some folks get worked up just because it is McDonalds.  A sandwich is a sandwich.  It amazes me that foolks get so worked up when they probably eat balogna and other weird sandwiches.
 
I have yet to get one this season but I will very soon.

Oh, btw – I dont personally enjoy the McRib. Had it two years ago when a McDonalds franchise in SoCal had it on their menu. It was ok, but nothing to get SO excited about!

Lolol Mellow! Hey, a bit of Celery seasoning might liven up almost any dish! My Celery Salt has a prominent place amongst  my spices. It’s right next to the Clery Seed and Old Bay. Oh, add some Sport Peppers and it could be a Chicago Style McRib! I would be kinda surprised if the Chicago MD’s didn’t offer Celery Salt. But… if not you could always sneak your own shaker in.

You’ve got to give it to McDonalds – they know how to market the heck out of an item that probably SHOULD have been a flop, but instead has build a cult like following. There are hundreds of websites dedicated to the McRib, rabid fans who drive hours just to get them – and now they roll them at the same time as their wildly popular Monopoly game?
 
They are certainly onto something!

so you hate Steak and Shake but you’d willingly indulge in a gelatinous molded piece of “pork” with sickeningly sweet BBQ sauce on it? [}:)]

The local Mickey D’s just put up a sign today saying The McRibb was back!!!…still against my common sense to enter a Micky Di’s!!!

A frozen product exactly like the McRib is sold in the frozen section of our local Stop & Shop…six pressed pork like patties in the shape of a set of ribs…..about $3.99…Add your own sauce and bun….but six for $3.99!!!!
