J. Dan Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 They are remotely the same thing. Chicken nuggets or hot dogs aren't. I suppose it depends on your criterion for comparison. To me they are the same because they are all processed meats made from scraps mixed with fillers and pressed into a shape: nuggets, patties, spam, hot dogs, McRib...all the same ballpark. I like the Jenny O "turkey roast" in the freezer section, but I wouldn't compare it to a Thanksgiving turkey. I also wouldn't consider the McRib an alternative to BBQ ribs, I'd consider it an alternative to Chicken McNuggets or a Big Mac.

Dana. Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Some people think BBQ is any meat or meat-like substance slathered in a spicy tomato sauce. And some people put ketchup on everything as if it's the be all, end all condiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridog6996 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Good meat needs no sauce. When it comes to a steak, I'd agree, but BBQ isn't BBQ without the sauce. In fact, if you have a good sauce, the meat is almost secondary. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepay Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 All the talk about Wendy's new burger got me thinking. Fast food burgers generally suck, even the new Wendy's burger but The McRib has to be the crown jewel in the McDonalds menu. Do you think it'll ever be a permanent fixture at McDonalds? Peace, D I've had one McRib in my life and didn't like it at all. I doubt it will ever be on the list permanently...it's one of those things that ignites a fire under some people for a while, and they then sell a lot of them (usually along with a drink which is really where they make their money). I don't think people would go crazy for them if they were there all the time. Go make your own - Steve (Stevie Ray) "Do the chickens have large talons?"

Griffinator Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Filet tends to need sauce. Sure, it's tender, but flavor, even in prime cuts, is lacking. Most other prime cuts of beef need no sauce, though. A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill H. Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 For those who really can't live without the McRib it's always available in Germany. You can move there Here in the States it's only on the menu until Nov 14. Read all about it here if you are bored and want to "bone up" on McRib trivia.

Bridog6996 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Actually, no. BBQ is all about the smoke and the rub. Sure, to a point, but I think most BBQers would agree that the sauce is the biggest game changer in the equation. It's usually a combination of two: a sauce used during the main part of the cooking, and a finishing sauce. My YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real MC Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I can't believe that people STILL eat any junk from MickeyD's. The worst food on the planet and the corporate brass are arrogant. The last time I ate a meal there was 1984, I tried their nuggets and wound up feeding them to a flock of birds. I almost never eat from any national chain anymore - BK, Friendly's, applebees, etc are garbage and/or expensive. Arbys and Wendys are rare exceptions.

MojoGuyPan Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looks like there is a God and he's catholic because my prayers have been answered. The news broke just today that McRib is back until November 14th. The article mentioned that Germany is the only place on Earth to enjoy the McRib perennially. Of course that might just be a passive aggressive move in response to what went down in April of '45. I am off to the double arches before rehearsal.

MojoGuyPan Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I didn't get a chance to eat a McRib yet but was still eagerly anticipating my first bite when I read what it is made out of: "Ooof. What's the meat made of? Pig innards and plenty of salt. Typically, "restructured meat product" includes pig bits like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, says Whet Moser at Chicago Magazine, citing a 1995 article by Robert Mandigo, a professor at the University of Nebraska. These parts are cooked and blended with salt and water to extract salt-soluble proteins, which act as a "glue" that helps bind the reshaped meat together."
