I wouldn't call that thing "beer". It tastes like the shop owner has just washed his dog with it.

Ask yourself, if the McRib/Pumpkin-flavored stuff is so great, why don't they sell it year-round?

No...John Stuart Mill's uncle.

I had an McRib today. I think that it gave me a buzz.

See, those women cannot be trusted. We walked into McDonalds with the kids, the redhead said: 'you stay with the kids, what do you want me to get for you'. I answered 'a beer and whatever shite they have for food' and she swore there was no beer, she got me a BigMac and a diet coke. The liar.

I have never had Mc rib and never will: I prefer food that is not being served in between two sponges. But From what i've seen I'm pretty sure you can prepare a better version of it home: mix 125 grams of ground pork with 100 grams of beef, mix, incorporate paprika and a bit of cayenne pepper+salt, make a vaguely square thick patty, throw in a very hot pan with vegetable oil, turn after four minutes, wait for an extra three. Put inbetween two slices of real bread with rings of raw onion and possibly pickles.

Preparation time around 20 minutes all included. You can deglaze with a bit of vinegar and use the juices to impregnate the bread instead of any kind of sauce.

I like how this ends with impregnating something with ones sauce....

I agree with this post. Time loss compared to going to McDo: none. Taste gain: 100%. Plus, while preparing food, one can enjoy a glass of wine, or bourbon, or whatever you like.

Guys...this is the McRib we're talking about here: "A fast-food legend that can't be beaten, seldom seen and rarely eaten."

Please show some respect. {;^)>

Hmmm, I never had one of those. Didn't the Simpsons have an entire episode based around it?
Not sure if we have them in Canada... Oh well, I'm more of a burger and wings type person. Pub food rocks.

I know, I know, we're just European morons that don't have your (and by 'you' I mean Americans) culinary tradition and insights ;-) But why McDo? I mean, I once went to a fastfood restaurant after a dodgers game where they served meat sandwiches with horse radish, I don't recall the name of the place but it is famous in LA. Now, I'll tell you, the place was hectic, we were sitting at long tables, but it was a good meal. American style. And I know that you can eat well in the US, but McDo is just a step too far for me.
