Our Prayers Answered…

Here at notespn, we focus on the world of sports and sports related gossip, as well as the occasional hottie.  However, with Thanksgiving fast approaching, the good people of McDonalds have given us something to be truly thankful for.

After many years, its returned.  The greatest culinary invention in the history of man.  A morsel so filled with flavor and deliciousness, it brings even the strongest men to their knees.  Of course, I’m talking about the McRib.

What more can you say about this soul-pleasing delight?  Unconfirmed reports have suggested it is made by using different pork parts (hooves, ears, snouts, and tails) that are put into a giant blender and pureed into a sauce, then poured into a mold.  The mold is frozen, even including fake bone imprints, as the McRib’s authenticity is just as important as its flavor.

Eventually, a rubbery pork slab with fake bones is thawed out, slathered with a sauce that must be almost entirely sucrose, and topped with some pickles and onions, and placed on a roll. The result is a flavor explosion so intense, you can put it up against the best erotic experience you’ve had, and it just might win.

Four years ago, when McDonalds announced they were taking the McRib away in Southern California, I quickly ran out and bought 10.  I froze them in a bag, and once a year, on a special occasion, or even when I’m feeling down, I thaw one out, and savor every bite.  Amazingly, its just like it was 4 years ago. Say what you want about the cockroach, but the McRib seems to possess far more ability to survive a nuclear holocaust/ice age than those pests.

So here’s to the McRib.  A product no doubt enabling anyone to feel like a proud American.  Most clearly, it’s the Chuck Norris of all things food. So if you get a chance, pick one-nay,5-up and scarf them down.  You can post your comments below on your experience, including your thanks.
