McRib debate

[Lily]

Well, at least I consider it a debate.

Who here likes it? I think it's disgusting and that anyone who likes it was born without taste buds.

Discuss.

 

[Larry Loungelizard]

You do have a point. I suspect that by saturating the patty in the sauce makes it tasty, but without the sauce it likely tastes like warmed over roadkill.

I remember trying it for the first time...I was thinking, wtf is this?

Just awful.

I didn't have that strong of a reaction, i was more a, meh so that's it?"

Its like McD hardly did any market research or at least try to gauge public reaction. The only reason I suspect they keep putting it out every so often is because there are just enough yahoos that love that "sandwich".

I have one in my house that does. It's offensive, man!

 

[Murdy]

What is it? I’ve never ordered one since I have had an aversion to meat since I was a kid. Is there actually ribs in it?

No ribs. I think it's like chicken nuggets, but pork...

It tastes like what I imagine stinky armpits would taste like.

 

[Alticus]

Never had one.

 

[Murdy]

I feel like the shamrock shake gets the same hype as the McRib

 

[Lily]

Never had one.

I wondered what all the hype was about. That gets me into minor disasters sometimes.

If and when it comes around here again I'll give it a try.

You'll be disappointed.

I dunno. I have strange taste. For example, my favorite hamburgers are the cheapest frozen ones that are as thin as hell. Maybe the McRib will taste good too.

I suppose it's very possible. There's no accounting for why we like the things we do.

I've tried ribs that you buy from the grocery store and I didn't care for the few different ones I tried. One was Swiss Chalet. There was more fat on it than you would believe, not to mention tough.

We buy them and BBQ them ourselves.

We buy baby back from Costco and he debones them every other so they are super meaty. Makes it easier to pull the meat off too.

Swiss Chalet? They're usually top shelf.

I guess it all boils down to what one person likes I guess. For example, there are steaks that are clearly superior to other cuts in tenderness and flavor, but that doesn't mean that everyone will always like that cut. Sometimes people prefer the cheaper cut.

A Kansas City style steak is the best in the world, IMO. Medium rare with a baked potato is heavenly.

Sounds damn good. I've always wanted to try Kobe steak.

It is pricey.

 

[Alticus]

It is pricey.

Yeah, you're right it is. That's what makes me so curious to try it. I want to know what a steak that is so expensive tastes like.

I prefer a ribeye to filet mignon. Not that rib eye is a cheap cut, but it is cheaper.

My uncle loved the cheap pepper steak more than anything else.

If I ever come into some money in the future I'll be sure to try it.

You guys have a good night.

When it comes to actual BBQ, one place I found is truly a must eat.

Being in Charlotte, where BBQ is pretty much a religion, I can say with high confidence that I had the best ribs ever. I've been to Charlotte half a dozen times and eaten at Billy's on three occasions. Never was disappointed.
