The Delicious History Of McDonald's McRib

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

The Mc Rib usually shows up in the fall, usually in late October to November when pork prices are low. It lasts until the new year then disappears again.

[@botrytis_cinerea]

That's exactly what's happening right now here in the UK. It's currently available as of 2024 October. Last time was 2019 Autumn if I remember correctly.

[@betweentwomillennium5057]

If you are going to save some McRibs for the apocalypse, make sure you freeze them first before you vacuum seal them. Otherwise when pulling the vacuum it will crush the bread. After the Bomb drops you can hook up a battery with an inverter and plug in a small microwave to reheat the McRib. Or just place it on the dash of a hot car that hasn’t had its windows blown out. It I had the equipment I would freeze dry some McRibs.

[@misterhat5823]

Be sure to remove them from vacuum packing before defrosting though... Although I'd not waste vacuum bags on McRibs. They're nasty.

[@1l175]

😂❤ sure buddy

[@drshoe8744]

You could also just buy a few hundred Big Macs, or burgers from Mackers and leave them lying about the shelter, they'll be fine.

[@jameshill2450]

You don't need electricity to reheat it, just wrap it in some aluminum foil and leave it on the edge of (*not in*) a small fire for a little while.

[@doughnutzz]

How will it stay frozen if there is no power because apocalypse? Maybe dehydration is better and then they can just sit on the shelf.

[@theo1113miller]

I was working at McDs when the McRob first came out. Once it took off, they sold like gang busters and were extremely popular with crew for breaks. Unfortunately, they are rather messy and the taste gets old after awhile. The sales appeared to be cyclical with people tiring of them for a while, then wanting them again. I think this why McDs brings them back for short periods of time. Hmmm m, I think I would like one now but they are not currently available.

I love the McRib and had it ever since it first came out. Now if the process grosses you out, keep in mind that the same process is used for many deli meats.

[@justayoutuber1906]

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.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

Deli meat is made from ground meat!? I've always wondered how they got it to be in such sizes and shapes. The texture is usually really smooth, though.

[@cruisinguy6024]

@@MatthewTheWandererlow end deli meat is often processed pink slime. Higher end brands use actual solid pieces of meat that are formed together into the loaf type shape you see at the deli counter, especially for turkey products they’ll combine several breasts.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@cruisinguy6024 I've only ever seen mid to high end deli meat. Roast beef definitely doesn't seem like it was made from ground meat. But, most deli meats I've seen are turkey or ham, with beef and chicken being less common.

[@lohphat]

1981. My first job working at MacDonalds. The launch of the McRib. OMG cleaning out the BBQ sauce dip pan took FOREVER as the sugar turned into cement after hours cooking away in the steam tray. Basically most of the calories came from the sauce, not the Japanese sandal slab of pork remnants. I can’t bring myself to even think of eating one again.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

That's the year I was born! When I worked at McDonald's for 6 months in 1998 and 1999 (it was my 2nd job ever), I don't remember making the McRib, but according to this video, it must have been on the menu back then. I do remember that the McFlurry was the new big thing, however. I've only eaten the McRib a few times and never thought it was very good, so I don't understand the hype.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@buffys3477 Yeah, I've had the McRib before and it is really not very good. It's extremely overrated.

[@richardadams4928]

When I started working at Jack in the Box in 1978, they had a steak sandwich that I'm pretty sure was probably very similar. A pressed formed meat party that was definitely firmer and tastier than conventional hamburger meat, a soft and delicious French roll, and a steak sauce similar to A-1 Thick & Hearty, maybe a touch sweeter. They were SO good, but they cost about THREE TIMES as much as a Jumbo Jack burger.

Horseradish sauce sounds nice.

[@chuckdillingham]

One thing to consider is everyone makes a big deal about chefs creating meals utilizing all the edible components of an animal ensuring as little waste as possible… the McRib is just a variation on that theme. Parts that would otherwise go to waste are being utilized. It makes the McRib an “environmentally friendly” choice!

Mein absolutes Lieblingsprodukt, egal was drin ist (total uncharakteristisch für mich!). Ich leide, nicht nur, weil ich jetzt Hunger hab und eigentlich zum ca. 10 min entfernten McD fahren und ein bis fünf Stück kaufen würde - wenn es den McRib hier in der Schweiz gäbe!!! Dafür kann man nach Herzensfrust Vegi-Burger mümmeln. Brave new world, that has such burgers in it... [Es hat wohl auch mit der Demographie zu tun (pork ist haram). Wie komme ich drauf? Noch heute erinnere ich mich an den Glückstag, als ich im Neuperlacher Shopping Center als Testperson für McRibs ausgewählt wurde. Zur Verkostung standen ein Original und ein in Folie gegrillter Bratling. Ich schmeckte sofort den Unterschied (fehlende Maillard-Reaktion, uärgs). Auf meine Frage, wie und warum diese hirnrissige, störanfällige und abfallträchtige Prozess-Verschlimmbesserung nötig wurde und sogar zur Testreife gelangte, kam folgende Aussage: Viele Kunden der genannten Speisetrenner-Fraktion stören sich daran, dass auf demselben Grill beide Fleischsorten gebraten werden, also theoretisch jeder Rindsburger auch Spuren von Schweinssubstanz enthalten könne (dies sehe ich als gegeben an, und die Überlegung ist nachvollziehbar, aber als Kunde habe ich die Wahl, diese Unsicherheit zu akzeptieren, oder ein anderes Schnellrestaurant zu wählen - meine [bestimmt unpopuläre] Meinung). Um der Entrüstung und Besorgnis dieser Kundengruppe Rechnung zu tragen, wurde der McRib-Bratling in eine grillkompatible, undurchlässige und eng anliegende Plastikhülle eingescheidet, hierin auf den Grill geworfen und zubereitet. Anschliessend musste die Folie händisch entfernt und der McRib weiter verarbeitet werden. Als ob der Inhalt des Bratlings nicht schon verstörend genug wäre (und das sage ich als eingefleischter (hihi) Fan!), musste bei diesem Vorgehen auch noch ein Mitarbeiter die Hülle wegnesteln und den glitschigen Burger "weiterleiten". Das ist für mich das wirklich Ekelerregende an dem Vorgang - ich habe schon Kücheninspektionen mitgemacht, und jeweils Bauklötze über die divergierenden Hygienevorstellungen des Personals gestaunt. Von dieser Produktionsart habe ich nie mehr etwas gehört (ja, ich habe nachgefragt, obwohl ich den Geschmack sicher unterscheiden hätte können). Ich gehe also davon aus, dass die Patties in trauter Einigkeit weiterhin gemeinsam auf den Grill wandern... Mann, hab ich Hunger.]

I would ADORE a video on Jack In The Box restaurants, considering it's... interesting... past. But please don't forget about the 70s era of JITB, with Rodney Allen Rippy, the Breakfast Jack sandwich [FIRST OF IT'S KIND], and the 1970s animated version of Jack himself. Although there's only three commercials [Baseball, In The Park, Jack In The Box Animated Commercial 1970s], and three comics [How A House Makes Noise, Where Oil Comes From, How Pain Helps Us], on KZbin, I personally feel like the Jack In The Box Bunch and 70s era Jack should at least get a mention, especially given who voiced them: none other than Paul Winchell, the original voice of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh, and the inventor of the artificial heart. Paul Winchell had SEVERAL other voice roles, and even had his own puppet show: Winchell-Mahoney Time, with the main puppet Jerry Mahoney sharing a similar voice to the 70s incarnation of Jack from Jack In The Box.

I love the McRib and await its return every year 😅

I liked the McRib when it first came out. It tasted great. Later renditions started to taste cheap and cardboard like. I would get a couple of double cheeseburgers and ask for McRib sauce. At first, no problem. Later they said no McRib, no McRib sauce. I have never looked back. McRibs are crapily manufactured cardboard with a really great sauce.

Thanks A LOT!...I really didn't want to know what was in it.
