Time for the McRib to come back!

  as if that's actually pork!

    It is... And far more so than the chicken or fish.

      I read that as there's more pork in the McRib than in the chicken or fish, but now assume you mean more pork in the McRib than similar proportions to the chicken/fish products.

        Yes, that was my meaning. The McRib is mostly pork, with some binders (typical for mechanically separated/joined meat) and form pressed. The nuggets used to be closer to this, but now a lot more filler and less meat, same for the chicken sandwiches. The fish is pretty good, but a lot of breading as a proportion. All said, it's not that bad at all. The bun/roll is far worse, but that is true for most modern breads.

          >The bun/roll is far worse, but that is true for most modern breads. Do these "breads" qualify as bread in the EU? Subway's bread had issues, so I'd assume any US based fast food company would fall the same way.

            As an aside, "bread" is probably my least favorite part of the standard American diet.

    Whatever your opinion of the McRib, that was historically the explanation for its use as a limited time promotion, to take advantage of low pork prices when they come around.
