How they are made.......... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/04/mcrib-video-making-gross_n_6100978.html
I have to admit that I did eat them when I was a kid. But I haven't had one in probably 25 years and haven't eaten at a McD's in almost 10.
I will crush a mcdouble now and again, have them put a little of the big Mac sauce on it. Hell yeah. I ain't going near that rib thing or a chicken paste nugget though
I don't have any particular philosophical problem with McD's. In fact, the Quarter Pounder with cheese was one of my favorite sandwiches. And those fries, man, they're addictive. But about 10 years ago, I had a fairly serious health scare. One of the immediate effects of the scare was that I had terrible vertigo, which made me incredibly nauseous. And the last meal I had eaten before the nausea hit -- maybe two hours -- was a Quarter Pounder with cheese and fries. Doesn't taste nearly as good coming back up and I haven't been able to stomach the thought of McD's since.
I saw that story yesterday. I had heard they were made of something far more disgusting. I have only eaten one ever.
The fries were about the only goo thing about Mickey D's. I used to like Burger King Whoppers a lot more than Big Macs or QPs but now I hate them too. I don't know if its true or not but someone once told me that Burger King was the world's largest buyer of bovine eyeballs. He said they ground them up and mixed it with the meat. Kind of like that old rumor than McDonald's mixed ground up earthworms with their meat.
I'll eat BK in a pinch, but their burgers always taste too artificially smokey for me. And as far as the eyeball/worm/pink slime thing goes. Meh. I'm sure there are some unsavory parts that get turned into smoked sausage and/or boudin. And I've eaten hog's head cheese that I watched being prepared.
