Food Review

Yes, I have finally done it: a food review; and coincidentally it just so happens to be a review for the Ribwich er I mean the McRib. And no, it was not everything I expected and more. Just a generic bleached white flour bun as expected from McD's, bitter onions and sour pickles, and the saddest bbq sauce ever. I *was* impressed with the rib shaped slab of pork by product, however.

I don't understand why this thing has a cult following. I mean, just *look* at it! It felt like a squishy mouthful of sadness when I bit into this limp sandwich shaped thing. The sauce was not tangy or sweet like I expected bbq sauce to be and the overall experience made me disappointed in myself for giving into McDonald's marketing schemes ie. the sporadic availability.

After the third bite out of this thing I realized that I couldn't exactly put my finger on what it tastes like. I mean, there was a meaty consistency throughout, but I couldn't identify what that meat was for the life of me. Of course, it's advertised as being pork, but I've had pork and this wasn't it. The patty thing didn't taste like ham or bacon or even sausage patties. Just a general meaty texture with tasteless sauce the color of bbq sauce. Despite the disappointment I crown this thing as king of imposters! It doesn't taste like what it looks like, well maybe the bun but that's about it. I only actually started tasting the sandwich about 3/4's into the sandwich so I suppose this is the kind of thing that needs to build up on your palate before you can er savor the taste.

Never again.
