For those of you who like McRib's, here is an alternative when you can't get them (and it's less expensive).  Link is to Sam's Club, but I'm pretty sure Costco and other type warehouse stores have them (and if Sam's Club does, you can bet Walmart will also).  Just heat the bun and "rib" separately and add your own sauce and they are not bad (for microwave food).

Before I really got into smoking I used to like the McRib, not release party like, but I would pick them up.  Now my interest is only because I have been planning on doing a vegetarian ribs and I want to know how then make them look like ribs.  I need a form or press I have been thinking.

Azodicarbonamide, or azobisformamide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C[sub]2[/sub]H[sub]4[/sub]O[sub]2[/sub]N[sub]4[/sub].[sup][1][/sup] It is a yellow to orange red, odorless, crystalline powder. As a food additive, it is known by the E number E927.

Azodicarbonamide is used in food industry as a food additive, a flour bleaching agent and improving agent. It reacts with moist flour as an oxidizing agent.[sup][2][/sup] The main reaction product is biurea,[sup][3][/sup] a derivative of urea, which is stable during baking. Secondary reaction products include semicarbazide[sup][4][/sup] and ethyl carbamate.[sup][5][/sup]The United States permits the use of azodicarbonamide at levels up to 45 ppm.[sup][6][/sup] In Australia[sup][citation needed][/sup] and Europe[sup][7][/sup] the use of azodicarbonamide as a food additive is not approved.

It's on isle 4, top shelf, right next to the solid fuel propellant.
Azodicarbonamide is also a prime ingredient used in the manufacture of gym shoes, yoga mats, and pretty much anything else rubbery. Look at it this way, the McRib is a restructured (glued) pork (heart & tripe) meat product that could double as a Dr. Scholl's foot pad.

The McRib, or as I call it, the McSpam, comes and goes from the menu at various times.  This is quite on purpose.  It is one of McD's most popular sandwiches.  They don't leave it on the menu so that it maintains it's popularity.  Like when a painting's price goes up after the artist dies.  Since it isn't always on the menu, people don't have time to get tired of it.  This keeps it very popular so that it can continue to perform its actual purpose:  To distract people from noticing raising prices.  They bring it out when they want to raise prices.  People order the McSpam instead of their favorite sandwich.  When they go back off the menu and people go back to their normal items, they're less likely to notice that the price went up.  Customers are happy.  McD's is happy.

Scholls foot pad...lol!
 
Wife wanted Mexican tonight so the homemade RickRib With RickRib Sauce has to wait till tomorrow.Went out and got some spare ribs and some sub rolls today. I guarantee...the last place you want to put the RickRib is in a shoe! Can't wait!
 
I like the McRib I know it ain't bbq but the only time I go to Mickie D's is when they have the McRib
 
the McRib is a restructured (glued) pork (heart & tripe) meat product   Remember the slogan "Parts is parts" ; Mc said no more pink slime (about 5 months ago) ; and fifteen years ago when there was an investigation about beef patties with kangaroo meat?     From now on we buy chuck roast and grind our own.
 
I had my first McRib last week.  $3.50 for a plain sandwich. Definitely from the drive thru.

I can't say I was disappointed, considering where I went?  I NEVER eat at McDoo's.

How could anyone say the McRib is worse than anything else you get there?

Except free use of the dirty rest room on a trip?

The good news in the West?  Right next to the "Golden Arches"  there is often an In-n-Out Burger for those who can eat a far superior fast food burger. With clean employees and clean rest rooms.

Good luck and good smoking.

We have mcdonalds, burger king, wendys, and krystals. Savannah needs to step it up on the fast food joints. Where's the good stuff? ( if there is any)
 
Okay, I bought and ate one today... It wasn't the worst thing I ever ate.  What did make me nervous is what's the actual mystery meat.

Come on people, let's not be snobby.  This country loves fast foods and crappy foods.  For me, it's not something that I can eat on the regular but it wasn't horrible.

And remember the "worm burger" rumors from the 1970's?  I'd rather eat roo burgers any day over that.

Just ground up 14.5 pounds of chuck I got for 1/2 price at Kroger (expired today).  Got nearly 13 pounds of trimmed and ground excellent quality beef vacuum packed and in the freezer now.

Oh and for the younger group, the 70's worm burger flap was a urban legend.  It was very widely circulated, but not true (even made it to Saturday Night Live).

Never had one. I typically eat at McDonalds when I'm in a hurry, too tired to cook or on the rare occasion that it just sounds good. (Hey, it happens, sometimes I just get a craving for preservatives and stuff that I'd rather not know about..) Even under those circumstances I'll still get a burger that just tastes too bad to eat. I had that once with a double quarter pounder when I was in a hurry. I got through about 2 or 3 bites when I decided that I couldn't finish it. It was just that nasty. I also happened to be on an interstate on-ramp, and I believe full heartedly in merging at the same speed that traffic is going. So, with a quick flick of the wrist, I chucked it out the window into that little triangle strip of land that was between the interstate and the on-ramp just as these two poor teenage kids popped up over a little hill. Yup, it was a 50-55mph MCSMACK right in one poor kid's face. There was this spray of ketchup, pickles and bun and that poor kid's hands went to his face and it dropped him to his knees. I felt bad for the kid, because lets face it, that had to have hurt, and it was out of the blue too. Yet, at the same time, my buddy and I were laughing so hard that I could barely keep it straight while going down the road.

So, if you ever have a teenager that is acting up, skip the mcrib and go straight for the double quarterpounder. It's very effective.
