For those of you who have never encountered a McRib Sandwich, it is a
boneless, rib-meat pork patty that is shaped, dunked in BBQ sauce and sold by McDonald's. The McRib
bizarrely appears to have bones in it, due to its shape, though this is merely to give the product
recognizability. McDonald's actually maintains a spoof site about boneless
pig farmers, poking fun at the boneless nature of their patties. Processed meat patties are inherently unattractive
on their own and McDonald's knows this. It is for this very reason that the McRib patties are dunked in hickory
barbecue sauce before being served with onions and pickles on a 6-inch bun. For anyone wondering what the patty looks
like on its own, Fast Food Facts has kindly deconstructed the sandwich for your viewing pleasure. And if, by some
chance, you do not find processed meat to be pleasurable, it's at least very interesting.
