mc rib or mc fatness

[desertdarlene]

I have a McDonald's right behind my house and I don't really go there because they trend towards an unhealthy menu. But, you all got me hungry for McRibs now, so I might get one tomorrow.

uhmmm....
Supposedly, the Mc 'Rib' buns have a strange and very unappetizing ingredient. See link below.

The oil you are referring to was palm kernel oil and up until the mid 70's the "burger" was horse meat and beef mixed. The BLM used to sell the excess mustangs to meat packers.

I don't know how old you are but if you were eating McD's in the late 60's to 70's, those FF were absolutely my favorite! When they changed the oil to healthier oil (yeah right!), the FF were awful! You literally have to go to the bathroom often.

The hamburgers, well, it is not too bad but goodness, it was HIGH in sodium...you could not ask for a sodium free burger, couldn't you?

Anyone tried McD's salads? Side salad not too shabby, probably better than anything on the menu.

I just don't get why pig snout, and especially tongue and intestines is such a travesty. People have been eating tongue, snout, tail, heart, liver, gizzards, tripe and intestines and head cheese and FEET forever. When they do it it's awesome home cooking but when McDonalds grinds it up it's horrifying? I'm pretty horrified by head cheese and it's a traditional southern food. My grandma has eaten beef tongue since she was a child and I've even eaten catfish tail. Pickled pig feet have been in our fridge--much to my disgust--since before I was born.

The preservatives and all that are bad for you, I concede to that. I just processed a chicken from my own flock for my family's Thanksgiving and while we don't eat the feet--I'm making backscratchers--we did keep the heart, gizzards, liver and neck to be eaten and the feathers and feet for crafting. I feel better using it all than tossing it.

I'm glad we are "told" that there are parts in the McRib but if you guys like the sandwich, don't let a little pork tongue run you off. There's plenty of other things wrong with McDonalds.

That being said, McDonald's is pretty bland and tasteless from a strictly "culinary" point of view. Burger King is burnt and I can wring Wendy's food out like a wet towel. I've lost my love of burger chains since I hit my twenties, but I do still eat Fazolis and Long John Sikvers and--horror!--Taco Bell. I know Taco Bell is probably killing me slowly but once or twice a week they'll hand me a giant sack of food for about five dollars so I cut my losses. I prefer homecooked food anyday but with a full time job and farm and crazy life I'm not always afforded the time or energy to cook every meal. I envy those that can afford to eat organic homeraised food every day and hope to get to that point someday!

What's a "Mc Rib"

 

[KenK]

Quote:
It is a processed pork patty made to resemble pork ribs. Served with barbeque sauce on a bun. The ingredient list of the pork patty is similar to what you would find in sausages.

It has a cult following in the U.S. McDonald's only sells them periodically.
My dad loved them. I've never had one but have wanted to just to see how it was.
