McRib.... it's coming!

Recommended Posts

 

 The McRib comes back on December 2.

McDonald's McRib is coming back. And this time, it's going nationwide.

For the first time in nearly a decade, the fast food chain is making the fan-favorite sandwich available at all of its 14,400 US restaurants when it hits menus on December 2. In previous years, the  McRib was only sold at some locations, which sparked excitement and subsequent long lines — a no-no in this time of social distancing.
Described as "saucy, tangy, tender and shamelessly delicious," the McRib first appeared on menus nearly 40 years ago. The sandwich is a boneless pork patty, shaped like a rack of ribs and smothered in barbecue sauce. 
 
So I, for one, cannot wait.  One of my few guilty pleasures.

I don’t think it was real meat to begin with! :p

Ha... I was going to say that last night, but didn't want to get blackballed. Did it ever have meat in it originally? 

Asking for a friend...  :sarcastic:

I think it contains the snouts and tails considered too low-grade to make the quality control cut for Spam.

You'd be surprised of the meat misadventures people can get into. I recall one case where a local small town butcher was doing a terrible job of removing all the thyroid tissue from their cuts and everyone in the town was going hyperthyroid from eating ground beef.

It won't be the same. You're using real meat...........

The ‘ McTex’ (tm) begins...

Rubbed down with ‘Dillo Dust’. I may sous vide it, and then finish it on the grill (for those lovely grill marks). Sauce it, let the sauce caramelize a bit, then serve it. 
 

Hmmmm....

Whether you are a fan of the McRib or not, here is an interesting video on the history of who developed it, why and how McDonalds chose to market it the way they do, why they seem to randomly make it available in different places at different times, and probably an answer to one of the more controversial questions, what is it made of.  I personally don't like the sandwich but as a business decision, it is a nice move.

That there is one of those fancy French names for a crock pot. 

Ha!!!!

Funny story...but almost NOT a funny story. 
 

I had set up my sous vide cooker and had just dropped the pouch in the water bath. The temperature of the cooker started rapidly rising. I was looking through the manual for the damn thing, figuring I did something wrong, when I saw the heating element inside glow BRIGHT red and then burst into flames!!!

Thankfully I was standing right next to it, and unplugged it. I tossed it into the sink and hosed it down with water. 
 

Scared the crap out of me!! For the record, it was one of these.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
