McShitheads donated a large amount of money to the morons in the white house, I haven’t been there all year. They can shove the Mcrib up their collective asses sideways.
McDonald’s is proof of the susceptibility of most people to propaganda. I don’t understand how anyone can still eat anything there. It’s not good, it’s overpriced, it makes you feel like shit, and you’re hungry again 2 hours later. The nostalgia factor is definitely real because once a year or so someone will suggest getting it and I’ll think, hey I used to like it, and then every single time it’s incredibly subpar food that usually isn’t even made well because the staff hates their life. Stop fucking buying McDonald’s, Jesus.
Earlobe meat. Such a random description, but it makes complete sense.
I read a tweet once that said that Burger King’s chicken nuggets tasted like “deer ankles.”
Another apt comparison.It’s funny because earlobes are, like, all gristle.
I’m hoping it’s random, but this is Lemmy. Guy might really eat earlobe meat. Whole point here might be why buy a mcrib when you can grab an earlobe off a homeless drunk guy under a bridge?
The McRib is proof that enough barbecue sauce can make anything delicious. If you get a bite that isn’t swimming in sauce it’s much worse.
I actually like the school lunch/prison food version of the same thing. I’m not gonna pay like 7 dollars for it or whenever mc Donald’s is up to now but there is something about it’s unique horrible-ness that gets me.
The prevailing theory is that McDonald’s brings the McRib back whenever pork futures are down, because it maximizes profit. That is usually seasonal- in the early autumn, when grilling season is over.
And why Germany, which has low pork prices, has the McRib year round
I tried exactly one and it wasn’t even bad, but there was literally nothing interesting about it.
Man, I went to a mac Donald’s today since maybe years. Everything’s smaller and pricier! Why’d anyone eat there instead of a regular restaurant

I would 100% try earlobe meat.
It’s not bad.
It’s because McDonalds only brings it back right after there’s been a steep decline in the price of pork.

“The blue line is the price of hogs in America over the last decade, and the black lines represent approximate times when McDonald’s has reintroduced the McRib, nationwide or taken it on an almost-nationwide “Farewell Tour” (McD’s has been promising to get rid of the product for years now).”:
This study was done 14 years ago, but I imagine it still holds true.
30 years ago the McRib was amazing. They used to take the pork patty and baste it in this stick sweet bbq glue sauce. When you ordered one, they’d fish one out of the basting dish with tongs and slap it into a dressed bun and serve it in a bag. You ate it in the bag because it was just so sloppy.
These days they just dress the thing like a burger - patty on, squirt of BBQ sauce on top of the patty. There is hardly any mess to it and it’s basically just a pork burger. The experience of eating it and the lack of sauce makes it feel so bland.
Back then (I worked there briefly back then) you still understood that if you dwelt on the texture or taste too long, it’d start to ruin the whole thing, so you mentally checked out while you ate it. The pickles helped, they would load it with dill pickles. Last time I had one it was so plain, the yoga mat/foam extruded texture was on full display, I threw it away after a few bites.
Finally I stopped eating McD’s entirely, I’m not going to pay through the nose for food that’s killing me anyway. Once a month the fry craving hits and I just ride it out, it passes fast. I’m not kidding. I’m in recovery from meth and alcohol, and these hyper-processed food cravings hit the same way drug cravings do.
The pickles onion and barbeque sauce are nicely balanced and crunchy though

I actually love the mcrib. You can buy them from the store. This year imma try to make them in the air fryer and use some high quality sauce and see if I can make a better version.
