I was just thinking this morning. I miss that little sandwich. I wish McDonalds would bring this back...

ManOfSteal · Oct 28, 2004, 09:09 AM

I miss the "limited-edition Chicago only" McDonalds' Beef Wennington named after former Chicago Bull Bill Wennington...

McRib... yummmmm...

Oct 28, 2004, 09:37 AM

McD's has the McLobster in eastern Canada every summer.

And Dairy Queen has the Digby Clam Basket - yum!

What is the McLobster? This I have never heard of.

you see, not to turn this into a debate.. but I love McDonalds food, I think they come up with some pretty neat stuff.

AB^2=BCxAC · Oct 28, 2004, 09:49 AM

I want McDonald's to bring back the Arch Deluxe. (circa 1995-96: special sesame potato bun, full lettuce leaves, cheese, ketchup, onions, tomato, special mayo-mustard sauce, and pepper-bacon). It was, IMHO, better a deal (about a dollar cheaper) than a Wendy's Big Bacon Classic.

fxbezak · Oct 28, 2004, 09:54 AM

The Arch was good, the biggest waste of a burger is a "Big N Tasty" I think this burger was a ploy to try to corner a certain part of the consumer market.

mitchell_pgh · Oct 28, 2004, 10:05 AM

I just got done finishing Super Size Me.

Funny stuff... but I do admit that I enjoy a Wendy's from time to time. Their chicken sandwich is da' bomb.

Basically, it's a hot dog bun with lettuce and lobster salad (lobster meat and mayo). I've only seen it sold in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. They usually sell it every summer.

wdlove · Oct 28, 2004, 11:27 AM

I've never had a McRib. Can't even remember the last time that I was at McDonald's.

Randman · Oct 28, 2004, 11:36 AM

Singapore has a prawn sandwich now, breaded prawns. Pretty tasty.

The McRib, shaped as though it has bones, but is boneless. It's always been a mystery to me.

I wish Burger King would bring back Burger Buddies and KFC would resurrect Chicken Littles.

RiSE · Oct 28, 2004, 01:04 PM

I didnt have muck luck with the McRibb the last McRibb season

Hopefully this year ill have better luck.

Unfortunate accidents like that make it good to have a labrador retriever nearby.

Still, it's the McRib.

There are a lot of things in life you should hit at least once even though you know they're gonna be trouble.

Doing anything in life is bad for you. No point in living a long healthy life if you don't enjoy it.

If you want a McRib, eat a McRib.

Chicken Littles are still sold at a Franchise around here, I love them.

How about Taco Bell's Frito Burrito?

Lancer409 · Oct 28, 2004, 09:04 PM

I think the best thing out of Taco Bell .. was that Border Wrap out a buncha years ago ... that thing was small for the 3-4 bucks that it cost, but was almost as good as an authentic burrito that i can grab in the mission district in san francisco (lots of mexican immigrants)... for the size/price .. i bet it didnt sell well..

I liked the 99cent jumbo jack ... it was the best bang for the buck at the time .. juicy burger that tasted good (mcdonalds is usually dry) big on meat and everything else ... all for a buck and 8 cents for california's tax.

now it costs a 1.29 and 1.40 after tax .. no real improvements ... although they claim they made some. i guess they realize people were ordering several jumbo jacks instead of meals because it was a better, tastier, and cheaper to do that.

Mc Rib? .. we ate stuff like that for school lunches ... wait... correction .. we poor kids ate that for school lunch while other kids brought "lunchables" hahaa ... McRibs ... yeah ... it was government school lunch in the san francisco unified school district ... just not sure if we had the bbq sauce that mcdonalds mcrib has ... i think we got bbq sauce packets ...

iLikebeer · Oct 28, 2004, 09:10 PM

McRib time is the only time I will eat at McD's. They are soooooo good. Same with KFC and their popcorn chicken.
McD's has some interesting stuff on their menu around the world. I'm curious about Chicken McFu and Chicken McCurry. http://www.burgerschachteln.de/Burger/
I usually avoid US fast food when overseas, but after seeing that page I might have to start sneaking in for a quick meal.

Except McGriddles breakfast sandwiches and McRib sandwiches. McGriddles and McRibs are healthy alternatives. It's been scientifically proven.

McGriddles rrrock. Those and Breakfast Burritos.

I agree that the Big N' Tasty sucks. Terrible burger.

I'm not quite sure what the big deal is about the McRib. As someone else said it tasted like something dished up at a elementary school cafeteria.

Thanks for a morning laugh. That was coffee-through-the-nose funny for some reason. Classic!

I'd happily trade our McOz burger for a McRib. Sounds tasty

vexborg · Oct 29, 2004, 08:44 AM

Thank you so much guys!

Now I'm sitting here at work with a rumbling stomach and almost drooling over my keyboard

SOLIDAge · Oct 29, 2004, 09:28 AM

McDonald's best was the Turkey Flatbread.
Holy hell, was that good.

Whether a machine blasts the bones with a high pressure spray to get every ounce of delicious meat or you boil the bones yourself to make soup stock, meat is still delicious. Infectious meat is not, but hey: the McRib is pork. That should be 100% Mad Cow free, so eat up!

According to your link, the danger was in beef. MRBeef was banned nine years ago.

Whoa, you are seriously echoing my posts.

Lancer409 · Oct 29, 2004, 03:26 PM

seriously dude .. he WAS echo'ing your post

(now i'm echoing your post about echoing)

in all seriousness though ... what do u guys tink of jumbojacks? the only fast food i ever eat now a days (and that's pretty rare too)

hardcat1970 · Oct 29, 2004, 04:23 PM

i am glad someone has brought it up, i too like McRibs very much.

DeathToWindows · Oct 29, 2004, 10:28 PM

I can't really eat McD's, BK or any of that stuff... I feel really sick if I do.

wolfen · Oct 29, 2004, 11:41 PM

Just take a ground up pig fetus and slather it with corn syrup. You'll find it's a very satisfying substitute.

sideus · Oct 30, 2004, 01:30 AM

McRib was nasty.

The Placid Casual · Oct 30, 2004, 07:20 AM

We have not had McRibs in the UK since about 1995. I did like them now and again, but was always dubious about the meat in them...

If I were to pick an item of fast food to eat now, it would be the BK Chicken Whopper with Cheese... Although I have not eaten fast food off any kind for going on 3 years now.... it just tastes like cardboard, and probably has the same nutritional value

Doesn't stop the temptation though...

You seem like a really nice guy...

I think everyone knew fast food was bad for you before that movie came out. They just didn't know how bad it was, or what affect it could really have on your body.
