I had a mcrib for the first time today. It was alright, the sauce was okay tasting, sweet and smoky with an offtaste you expect from fast food sauces, pork patty equally mediocre, it was at least moist and had some pork flavor, and the pickles and onions give it some texture and tang, but overall it's not that great. just can't believe mcrib has so much mythos and passion just because it's a regular limited time offering. if they made this a regular menu item it would be gone within 1-2 quarters
You can buy BBQ pork patties in a box at the store. We actually had them served to us often when I was a kid at school. Probably the reason I never gave a shit about mcribs. I ate 800 of them in school.
>>22266953I like the source because it's not pure sugar like some bbq sauces, it's actually kind of tangy and vinegary and goes so nicely with the onyo and pickles.I'm looking forrad to whenever it comes back to Aus. I always get one per release, usually every 3 years which means this summer might be it
>>22266953the pickels and onions on it make it disgustingit tastes way better without them
>>22266953Who decided that pickles go on a pork sandwich?

>>22266957>>22266977they don't sell bbq porquerib in australia so we have to wait 3-4 years between mcdonald's releases :[
Here's a video of me enjoying mcribs from a few years ago https://youtu.be/TOOhBeewUOE?is=-2mKhqg5P2YeEth2
>>22266953Kwik trip has a better Kwik rib. I load it up with onion and pickled jalapenos and feel terrible after eating it
>>22266953It can be much better or worse depending on the restaurant, honestly. I have a friend who owns a couple of McDonalds (admittedly in more upper class areas), and theirs are a lot better than other places. Even still, they're largely more disappointing than you always look forward to.>>22266957These aren't really the same, but I get it.
>>22266993>These aren't really the same, but I get it.they actually are.
>>22266957It's an understandable substitute even if the correlation isn't very strong
>>22266953I thought it was just a meme. I tried one and it reminded me of the worst of school cafeteria food.
>>22266983If you wanted to make one at home it's probably just very finely ground cheap as shit pork formed into a party with dextrose added and... steamed, probably? Although frying or baking would make a better product than McDonald's.>>22266988He killed himself on Halloween? Dang.>>22267001>>22266993The mcrib patty is pure pork instead of pork, chicken, and fillers. It's close enough and honestly I don't find the mcrib to taste that great anyway. It's mostly just a chewable object covered in barbecue sauce.
>>22267011I have just added ground pork, pickles, onions, and sweet baby ray's to my next shopping list so I can make these at home. The real secret to tender pork patties is adding some powdered gelatin and water to the mix, makes it super moist and succulent. I will not be able to get authentic buns but when I do this I will report back with OC
we're not FUCKING getting it again this year in the northeast, fuck knows why
>>22267044We get it every 3 years or so in Straya but it should be announced by now so I guess maybe it'll be another year :[
>>22266953based mcbro
>>22267023I might some time this weekend seems like a fun little thing to do. Too bad my local store doesn't sell lean pork though they only have 85/15
>>22266953>offtaste you expect from fast food saucesSpeaking of which, what is up with that? I would assume it's either the preservatives or the dyes they use, because those are about the only thing ingredients-wise that are different.
I just got back from shopping and bought all the ingredients needed to make Cribs at home. I will be making them today and will rapport back with a quick cook-a-long and results>>22267125You don't wait it to be too lean anon, shit will turn to leather.
>>22266953Its prison food tier
>>22266953that's kind of what happened. the mcrib is seasonal precisely because it failed as a permanent menu item.
>>22266953its a meme. nothing special. mcdonalds marketing gimmickworked more on boomers because grocery stores sell the same thing more or less
>>22267252well this was fun. here are (most) of the gredients.
>>22267278I want the patties to be mostly unflavoured but not totally bland. little salt, pepper, little shoog, gelatine powder and water. the gelatin really sops that water up
>>22267279it's not a sausage so it doesn't need to rest. oven on and time to make my ribbies
>>22267280idunno man, this is the best I can do
>>22267281ribs in
>>22267283I gotta start using my camera again, iphone doesn't know where i want to focus
>>22267285not bad. looks poopy
>>22267286I added a splash of acetic acid to the BBQ sauce so it would be tangy like the real thing. Sweet Baby Ray's is pure sugar so yeah
>>22267288I mean this looks okay despite the wonky shape
>>22267289
>>22267291Well the bun of course isn't aw-ten-teek, the patty doesn't have the same flavour or texture as the real thing, but a meat patty and BBQ sauce is always going to be good. Pickles and onions are essential. Not bad, will enjoy these today. Might not do it again.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjxf-eQWKoo
>>22266953It's a regular menu item in Germany because it has always sold well there.
>>22267421I was surprised to see this when I was in Germany, so I bought one. The sauce is a little different from the one in here in the US...it's a little less sweet and smokey...more vinegary
>>22267421They literally stopped selling it in Germany yesterday Those days are over McRIP ;_;
I've never had a mcrib :(
>>22266953the pickles and onion honestly ruin the sandwich.
>>22266953i just got two of these and one of them had like 10% of the BBQ sauce it's supposed to havetasted awful without the sauce covering up the taste of the pork patty
>>22268311literally unacceptable. I would have complun
>>22267292Nice work anon, i bet it tastes better than the actual thing
>>22268406Thanks anon, it was pretty good. Didn't taste like fass food slop but I guess that's not a terrible thing. I still have two ribbies leftover so maybe I'll eat them tomorrow. I will double the BBQ sauce for it this time
>>22267894Tastelet
>>22267292Looks good anon.I don't mind the wonky shape. I'd rather eat your meat because it was made with love.
They are being sued
>>22269770class action lawsuit because apparently people thought they were eating a rack of ribs and not a meat patty. this lawsuit is frivolous.
>>22269774So was the Red Bull got wings won, and I still got free shit from it
>>22267292>>22268311real mcrib patties are actually unseasoned. they don't have any seasoning at all except salt and dextrose. and theyre made out of meat paste so to get the texture right you have to run ground pork through a food processor until it's smooth. rosemary extract isn't a seasoning it's a preservative.
>>22269790yeah I can't make pink slime at home and all i really added was salt (little pepper that I couldn't taste and a little sugar I couldn't taste). I did what I could and it was a quality couple meals
>>22266953I tried it once a long time ago (it's not common in Australia). It was dogshit.
>>22266957>rib shaped pattie
>>22266957These are fucking terrible, don't fall for it.As mediocre as a McRib is, it's at least not offensive. Take away the bbq sauce and the McRib patty is almost flavorless. These tiny OnCor patties are nasty by comparison and the sauce is also garbage compared to what McD uses.Avoid!>>22267292Good job anon.
I heard that the actual patties were invented by the us army to feed troops easily. That seems like a red flag
The McRib is a mossad bio weapon being used on the American people
