Tue Jul 08 20:34:44 -0700 2008 152375 Sammiches 1 3854473 Are you sitting down? I have read, and I think it was on the Mcd's website that they have no plans on putting the McRib on the menu ever again. The last one I had was in Nov 2007 at the Mcdonalds right by Dr. Phillips Blvd by Disneyworld. I had to have one and from what I heard it was my last. So sad. I remember eating them back when the were rolled out in the 80's. All my friends were scarfing down the McNuggets and I was loving my McRib. Other than my annual Big Mac Attack, there is nothing I would order from their menu on a regular basis. Can we start a petition to BRING BACK THE MCRIB!!

The Cow? no, think smaller...with more legs) Yes, I am quoting from the Simpsons's "rib-wich" episode. Wed Jul 09 19:20:16 -0700 2008 3854473 152667 Ralphie_in_Boston 3 3855171 McDonald's has the McRib on their nutritional value page...and listed it as "avaliable at participating locations"... so there still is hope. McDonald's had the McRib Farewell tour stunt like two or three times...it was a promotional thing... Wed Jul 09 23:17:22 -0700 2008 3854660 152375 Sammiches 1 3855088 Germany. McDonald's in Germany still offer McRibs. Wed Jul 09 22:28:33 -0700 2008 3850910 11583 ipsedixit 1 3860879 I haven't seen one on the menu boards in Wichita for over a year, and even then it was only for a month. However, I think the formed pork-rib patties are available commercially and it shouldn't be that difficult to duplicate at home. Back when I was in college and living in a cooperative dorm where I had to man the kitchen twice a week, we would dunk the rib patties in sauce, slide them in the oven to warm, and put out hoagie buns, pickle slices and sliced onion, and let everyone assemble their own McRib-like sandwich. In fact, and I'm ashamed that I would even know this, Banquet TV dinners has a pork-rib patty dinner, and I'm pretty sure I saw in the frozen food section at the store a family-size 6-pack of pork-rib patties (don't remember the brand name, looking at the internet there's a JTM Foods out of Ohio that manufactures the ones for food-service use). I'd be more inclined to get some ground pork and seasonings, and hand-make my own. Wouldn't taste like McDonalds, but at least you'd know what went into it. edited to add: McRib Pork Patty: Pork, water, salt, dextrose, BHA and BHT and propyl gallate and citric acid (preservatives). McRib Sauce: Water, high fructose corn syrup, tomato paste, distilled vinegar, molasses, natural smoke flavor (plant source), food starch-modified, salt, spices, sugar, soybean oil, xanthan gum, onion and garlic powder, sodium benzoate (preservative), caramel color, beet powder, corn oil. So, the pattie's just pork, water, sugar and salt and some preservatives you wouldn't need, the sauce is standard barbecue sauce...the buns are full of nasty preservatives and additives and won't be re-printed here.

They come in the frozen foods section in a big yellow "family-sized" box, with six of the patties in a similar thin, sweet barbecue sauce. You can buy similar rolls and duplicate the McRib experience at home easily enough. Mon Jul 14 11:46:05 -0700 2008 3860879 14120 Big Bad Voodoo Lou
