For me, I'm not a fan of McDonald's because they are very nasty and have had issues with quality and shady things with their meat in the US. I have many choices where I live, and the only reason I stop at McDonald's is for the Hi-C Orange drink.

[@balancedactguy]

Mr. H!! ..PLEASE stay away for the "Mc Rib"..if you saw how they are processed in a Food Factory, you'd never get with 10 meters of one! Head home now Mate and make some of your wonderful BBQ for you and your lovely Family instead!!!!🙂

[@Rose-z4h6k]

McDonalds is "I'm driving in a place I've never been to and need a stop with a clean bathroom" food. It is generally reliable. Corporate tends to keep the franchises up to a certain minimum standard. Unless the neighborhood is really dicey, they aren't too scary. When I was a kid, we'd eat out after church once every other month. It was always McDonalds. I loved the fries and Big Mac, but both don't seem taste as good as they used to. Maybe my tastebuds have grown up.

[@tammycenter8757]

I always hated the McRib. It is like soy meat with bbq sause.

[@hardknox1917]

I’m a pit master , but I love the McRib ! It’s not pit ribs , but it’s a guilty pleasure in its on right , it has a distinct taste that only the McRib can quench. It’s a guilty pleasure where you don’t ask questions 😂

[@bzick405]

+1 I'm guilty too.. I quit smoking cigarettes and all forms of nicotine when I turned 30, but I can't break my McRib addiction. 😋😅

[@DennisRabidue]

I know the answer and trust me you don't want to know

[@DennisRabidue]

Those are not ribs or rib meat , it is pork but not what you think it is

[@patricialavery8270]

Never liked it or The Colonel's ribs all that much. Not horrible ,but I like other items better.

[@nopenottalib4366]

@@DennisRabidue Oh, it's pork alright ..... but most likely ground up pig penises, testicles, anus, and colon. They might've even thrown in a little bit of the hooves and prostate in there too. Grind it all up, add in some sawdust, and BAM! - You've got yourself a nice McRib.

[@yugioht42]

The McRib is only around for about a month around thanksgiving then it disappears again. It’s a very limited run. People love getting it. I kinda have a fondness for it. The problem is that it rarely shows up. One place in Germany has the McRib all year long.

[@Patrick-nv5ug]

It was actually designed by a very skilled chef. I am with you on the so-so thing. The price is right. One of the reasons it is seasonal is that it being on the menu actually affects the price of pork after a month or so. And that will drive it off the menu.

[@robertb8673]

Yep. True, the McRib got a firm spot on our McD menu. They offer it allyear around. Not just one place in germany.

[@VercumPraeses]

I live in St Louis and the McRib is always available in the fall. I love them.

[@hayneshvac2]

Our mozzarella sticks come with marinara sauce over here, I wouldn't expect them to pair with barbeque sauce. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@catw6998]

Yes to Marinara sauce 👍.

[@FourFish47]

I love how you two are such Americanized food snobs!! 😂 I also LOVE that you know you can go home and make BETTER food than a lot of places you eat at 😊 BLY!!!❤

[@mongo64071]

McRib in the Fall. Shamrock shake in the Spring. Two guilty pleasures no one will admit to. 1 billion people served, but no one will admit they ever eat at McDonald’s.

[@IceMetalPunk]

I admit it just fine 🤷‍♂️ I can't stand their burgers, but McNuggets, fries, shakes, and McRibs are all delicious.

[@OZARKMOON1960]

I might be the only person who does eat McD's but has never had a Shamrock Shake.

[@NotKev2017]

@@OZARKMOON1960 I've never had a Shamrock Shake ever.

[@javiervigil2511]

The mcrib isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread, but there's something about it that I absolutely love. It's messy, savory, sweet, meaty, soooo good.

[@VorchaKali]

Pay attention to Mr Hs face when others are eating. He has this look on his face that says I WANT TO BE EATING THAT RIGHT NOW lol

[@DamienWillis]

I love the McRib! And you're certainly not going to find the "best ribs of your life" at McDonald's - nor should you expect to!

[@teagusmeagus7168]

I love McRibs even though I haven’t had one in years. Yes, it’s ground rib meat pressed into a shape.

[@claranielsen3382]

Mozarella sticks with hidden valley ranch yummy.

[@mildredpierce4506]

The McRib has been around for many many years, but always on a limited time basis.

[@steves2241]

The McRid is sold in the USA every year, but only for part of the year, I love them, but I always get mine with no onions.

[@dennisvandermarkt8263]

Extra onions no pickels . McDonald's pickels nasty. Bk Wendy's not so bad

[@Navydave3246]

Mc Ribs rock !!! By far my favorite sandwich at Mc D's

[@knightni73]

Miss the fried pies at McDs.

[@SherriLyle80s]

Yes we get the McRib. It releases once a year I think.

[@intallpines]

What fun. Sounds like I might have to brave up and try a McRib, I've always passed on them. I'll give it go after seeing you both enjoy them! Hope to see you this weekend! xoxx

[@cindymatthewsarrowdalearts6449]

The McRib is almost a cult item. :) People that love it really love it. I can live with never having another one. McFlurry is decent but DQ's Blizzard is much better. I'd want a marinara sauce with the cheese sticks. And the pie sounds yummy. Glad i haven't had to try the hot chocolate. Swiss Miss at home for me!

[@joyannwesson]

I haven't seen a Mcrib in a while. I like them. I don't know why. I think it's pressed meat. I had something similar at a gas station. I like my mozzarella sticks with marinara. I haven't hat a mcflurly in a long time. The ice cream machine is always broken 😉😂 J/K Pork patty: A restructured patty of ground boneless pork shoulder that's shaped like a miniature rack of ribs

[@Mrhandfriends]

@@joyannwesson 🙌 ♥️

[@catw6998]

A Fred Flintstone favourite (I wonder if Dino knows about that?) 😢

[@annfrost3323]

Mrs. H is right. It is pork meat "mashed together", like she said, formed into "rib" shape (?) and soaked in barbacue sauce. It is sold once a year in December only.

[@ajzamorous5042]

I doesn't taste the same as I did when I was younger. I don't like it as much either. Although I do remember a time when I would gladly anticipate the holiday season for the McRibs arrival. 😂

[@kenlangston3451]

The McRib started in the early 80s because a heat wave across the country led to a poultry shortage. They couldn’t get enough chicken to make the newly released Chicken McNuggets which were wildly popular. Pork was plentiful and cheap so they used the same techniques used to make the McNugget to make the pork rib shaped patty.

[@HDCalame]

Our new McDonald's item now is a chicken Big Mac.

[@MissTyBird]

I tried it and I could not really find the chicken. It was very thin and rubbery. I live in the west coast of U.S.A. so maybe that is why, I don't know, the best part was the lettuce and the Bic Mac sauce.

[@catificationcorner]

The Chicken Big Mac is always pretty bland and tasteless when it pops up as a limited item in the UK. Not sure if it is any better in the US?

[@HomerSimpson-gr1uj]

They used to have copies of the McRibb in my school cafeteria growing up. We all loved it.

[@DreemCatching]

I like how honest this video was. It made me want to try a McRib but unfortunately we don’t have it locally right now. The special here is the chicken Big Mac which sounds kinda weird to me but who knows.

[@kevinhayes1656]

Cheese sticks in United States are usually served with marinara sauce, which is probably what they have with that that looks like barbecue sauce

[@jimcathcart5116]

It’s pork shoulder ground up and reformed after it’s cooked

[@fazzfoodjoint5380]

Its definitely mashed together comparable to particle board but somehow good😊

[@toodlescae]

I love when McRib makes it's occasional appearances at McDonalds. It's not new but only makes an appearance for a limited time a couple times a year even here in the US. It's not real bbq but I love it anyway. 😂 By the way it's not a real rib. The McRib is a McDonald's sandwich made of a restructured pork patty that's shaped like a miniature rack of ribs. The patty is primarily made from ground boneless pork shoulder, but also contains water, spices, dextrose sugar, and preservatives. The meat is emulsified to refine its flavor and texture, and liquid smoke gives it a smoky flavor.

[@jesusislord88]

I always loved the McRib, though as others have said, it's not the same as legit BBQ. I agree it's its own unique thing and a guilty pleasure. Definitely probably don't want to find out what it's made of. The McDonald's apple pies are pretty awesome, though I've only had the original, living in Ghana, West-Africa now for like 3 years, we unfortunately don't have McDonald's here. I say unfortunately because I know lot of people hate McDonald's, but one of my favorite things I used to get almost daily and anytime of the day that's a fav, and I crave to this day, is the sausage, cheese McMuffin, I love just the sausage and cheese one. Something about the crunch of a McMuffin when toasted properly, with the cheese and sausage combo they have, is perfect to me. Also, I remember Mrs. H don't like Reeses much, unless it changed since the U.S., but y'all should try any kind of Reeses pieces ice cream like a Blizzard from Dairy Queen when back in the U.S. or local ice cream place. Not sure if y'all have had Reeses pieces or not, but they're kinda like M&Ms but with Reeses peanut butter instead, one of my all time favorite movie theater snacks and candies in general. McDonald's - making people rethink their life choices since 1953. 😅

[@SamsungJ-xk9pt]

Rainy day in the UK? Im stunned 😅

[@briankirchhoefer]

Its made from scrap pork, reduced to a paste and reformed into a rib shape. Its limited here also.

[@mrbear1302]

I live in the Pacific Northwest of the US. We have kind of the same climate you do. I actually love the rain! I think the Mcrib is OK.

[@rugan0723]

Lol...I have to admit, for some reason I can't explain, I do like them.

[@WendyByProxy]

McRib is more about nostalgia and gives school lunch vibes. Never to be confused with actual ribs or BBQ. But good for a once a year indulge. It's never as good as you remember it being...

[@joannaprofita8404]

Hello from across the pond in Florida. Love your family videos and cooking. I found this online, at first one article said "reconstructed", but, "According to McDonald's, McRibs are primarily made of ground boneless pork shoulder emulsified with water, spices, dextrose sugar, and preservatives to refine its flavor and texture." Stay safe and happy upcoming holidays.

[@jonvan2206]

Glad you liked the McRib, it was developed here where I live in Lincoln Nebraska, at the University of Neb. They are only in stores at certain times of the year, but I usually have to have at least one!

[@mildredpierce4506]

Some years ago, McDonald’s had Angus beef burgers. They were the best burgers McDonald’s ever had and the only hamburgers I would eat at McDonald’s. I think they had three varieties. The one I would get was Swiss mushroom. I have to stop having it, I rarely went to McDonald’s other than for breakfast.

[@spicewood7790]

My wife will make home made McRib sandwiches with a thin slice pork chop filling a hoagie bun and using Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, onions, and pickles. To me, it tastes sooo close to the original except we’re using actual pork chop instead of mystery meat, it’s a definite favorite that we can make anytime we have the craving!

[@rogerholder5731]

Yep you can get it here in NC but not all year round but haven’t seen it this year yet ? Oh ya you got lot of different stuff then we got here. Oh ya Mrs H I think you are right about how it’s made mashed into a rib shape. 😂

[@hoperichardson4020]

The bbq sauce is sweet baby rays on the mc rib I love these when they come to Mc Donalds

[@mildredpierce4506]

I don’t know how they make the McRib in the UK but I’ve always like it here in the US.

[@mikepaulus4766]

The McRib pops up randomly, there's no season. It's tied to the price of pork belly. When the price dips McDonald's brings it out. A few years ago it came out at least twice in a year.

[@Spudz76]

Sensible that the artificial toasted marshmallow syrup ends up like bad plastic, burnt sugar is about the same as burst plastic (acrid). It's one of those flavors that is too complex to be replicated chemically, like fake banana or strawberry (although I think those have improved over time).

[@joeholahan7619]

Don't ask lol! the McRib is only available in the US as a limited menu item usually around February. Loaded with preservatives and nothing healthy about it. A few years back as an experiment a friend of mine got one and left it without refrigeration for a month! Pictures everyday showed no sign of change whatsoever! It looked the same on day 30 but had developed a funky smell. He actually ate it at the end and is alive and well today!

[@BobPrice-zx7kr]

They are formed patties but with all the other ingredients they are awesome

[@Lashes.541]

Yeah the us is super familiar with it lol, it’s popping up since 1981. It goes off the menu for a while then they bring it back.

[@DFWTexan42]

McRib has always been my guilty pleasure. True, it's not in the same league as real BBQ, but for a cheap fast food approximation, it is unique.

[@toddhouston4523]

It’s around for a limited time in the US. I wasn’t able to get one last year because of supply issues and they ran out.

[@mgpm17]

I have never tried a Mc Rib. I wish we had toffee apple pie and fish fingers here in the US.

[@Jess-yb6uq]

​@@marydavis5234McDonald's in the USA don't have fish sticks/fish fingers.

It's pork rib meat mixed together with some spices put into a pork rid mold. It's topped with a special tangy BBQ sauce and onions.

[@deafion1]

The wife loves McRib everytime it is on the list at MCD. It is alright for me if I need a quick bbq meal to go then finding a BBQ joint place. Yall are lucky to have rain since we havent had any since June here in Texas.

[@tosweet68]

No one's ever told you then.....there's a reason it is so popular every time it comes back....though I'm 56 and only ever had one mcrib in my life 😂

[@LordLOC]

I just find it funny that McDonald's has said I don't even know how many times now - that they are discontinuing the McRib and never bringing it back - and then always bring it back anyway. Whether they do that on purpose to keep interest going yearly, or they just want the money it brings in when they bring it out yearly, who knows. But I just find that funny lol

[@sandirobinson6966]

Yes, it's pressed together pork, but the sauce is good, and with the pickle and onion - as others have said, a welcome guilty pleasure. I rarely go to McDee's but will always stop when they have the McRib. Usually only once/year.

[@patricialavery8270]

Yes is is formed boneless rib meat. Or some kind that isn't beef. Never been a huge fan. They may have added carob to stretch the chocolate. It tastes similar but I can tell the difference. Less natural bitterness. Looks like they tried to recreate the bubbly look of the old pies everyone preferred. McD's is always McD's. It's like Taco Bell, reasonably priced, convenient food that always tastes pretty much the same. I have no patience for people who get it and make a big show of hating it because it isn't something other than it is. It is fast food basically targeted towards fussy children who want it a bit bland and always the same. They know their customer base pretty well. Thank you for a calm ,honest review. My favorite there is the McGriddle. I also like Quarter Pounder with cheese or just a bag of regular cheeseburgers ,fries and a chocolate shake. Any leftover cheeseburgers are actually good cold as a late night watching TV snack. BTW if you go to a Taco Bell over there ,don't be like Gary Eats and eat it plain and complain it's bland ,make sure you get all the hot sauce varieties if you can ,it is meant to have the sauce. It isn't on it probably ,again, for kids who may like cheese but not much spice.

Well, I am jealous. The McDonalds ice cream machines actually work on the UK. Here in the USA they are always broke down. No matter what McDonalds you got to the ice cream machine is not working. We hear about the McFlurry a lot but we have never actually been able to get one.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Last I heard the McRibb was a thing in the US that would appear for a short time then disappear again. I had it once. They can keep it in the UK from now on. It isn't so much the synthetic meat (although that is weird) it is the sugary sauce. To answer the question you may not want answered, the fabrication of an edible rack of ribs was amazing. Food science is a thing & people were amazed they pulled it off (in the 70s?). It doesn't make it taste any better.

[@cmeflywva]

I live here in the US and I’ve never had one. There’s always a big fuss about them when they come out though. Maybe I’ll try one the next time it comes out. Why does Europe always have better McFlurries than us? The toffee apple pie sounds delicious.

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

I remember having mcribs as a kid

[@jamesmcclain5005]

[@Mrhandfriends]

[@BobPrice-zx7kr]

They should have a marinara sauce with the cheese styx

[@jonathandoreck7467]

The reason the Mcrib comes out usually once a year has to do with the pork prices. Mcdonald's will buy normally in the fall when the prices are usually Prime to buy large quantities.

[@MzzAnnThrope]

McRib has been around since my childhood but it's never been a permanent item. They take it away and bring it back all the time. They are delicious but probably terrible for you. Haha😂

Never really liked the McRib, but I do have to remind myself by eating it once in a while. Add a few fries to the sandwich and you can finish it. It can't touch the fresh quarter-pounder w/cheese delux if one is in the mood for red meat. The real taster from McDonald's is the Double Fish Filet with double tartar sauce. This cheap sandwich is actually quite tasty, filling and economical. Don't know whether you have that in Britain.

[@Rebelrocker69]

I'm jealous of your mcrib size. When they first came out they were all that size, but now the rib patty is 35%-40% smaller.

[@Bearfacts01]

Yeah, I tried the McRib like 20 years ago and it was okay. I would much rather have the Big Mac which is my favorite.

[@manjisaipoe517]

The reason it seems to be a big deal, in my opinion, is that its something very different from the usual fare. In the US, we eat fast food often, and many of us are in a rut ordering our "usual". That makes the change of order a breath of fresh air for many. Peace.
