mcribs - the magicaL mystery meaL

The McRib even enjoys a cult-like following. Web sites are dedicated to petitioning McDonald’s to bring back the McRib permanently. Webmasters speculate on what’s actually in the sandwich and why they find it so delicious.

The McDonald’s Web site does not list the ingredients of the McRib along with the contents of other sandwiches. However, McDonald’s’ toll-free telephone number will provide the ingredients to those who ask.

Theories abound as to why the McRib is always returning, never permanently taking its place alongside the pantheon of McSandwiches: Quarter Pounder with Cheese, Filet O’Fish, McChicken and the almighty Big Mac.

“The mysterious meat in the sandwich might be seasonal. I think it has something to do with excess of meat or pork at a certain time of the year,” says Konnor Ervin.

1. Way back

when the McRibs first came out, John Kelso, a writer for the local fishwrap here in Austin, did an article about how it's not really rib meat. He called it "McDonalds tells a McFib" Ever since then I call them McFibs.

3. Count me among the McRib fans.

Sadly, I think they are absolutely delicious. I don't know why. I haven't had one in a couple of years though, knowing they are probably very bad for me AND knowing that McDonald's in general is very bad for me.

"Long Pork" is said to be very similar to pork, and when processed sufficiently...
