Hmmm molded pig stomach

 

[TommyGunn]

I thought the McRib was one of their successful entries ........

[K Frame]

The McRib is the grossest, most disgusting, most foul thing ever to be offered at any US restaurant.

Hmmm molded pig stomach

 

With artificial coloring to mimic an actual grill, which it never touches.

Bacon is from a pigs stomach area.

Molded ground pork is a McRib. Here on Tuesdays Kwik Star/Trip has bbq  rib sandwiches, toss some pickles and onions on it, just as tasty as the McRib.

I guess I was wrong ....      It happens.  No one's perfect.

Bacon is not molded processed bland goo pretending to be something it's not.

Not as bad as a fish sammitch with cheese on it.

Most places use the wrong type of cheese and it depends on the fish. Pepper Jack is surprisingly good on some.

Mickey D's fish sandwiches, especially, are crack compared to McRib crap.

McD's fish sandwich is far superior to Burger King's fish sandwich.

McD's seasonal "lobster roll" is also pretty awful. Maybe not as bad as the McRib -- I haven't ever encountered one of those -- but pretty awful.

The MRE clone is better.

Back in the 1980s one of the meals in the then MRE was a pork patty.

Sweet Jesus that think was absolutely foul....

My roommate was ROTC and he would bring back MREs.

The meatballs in BBQ sauce weren't bad, nor was the beef stew. The chicken a la king was... meh.

The other one that was pretty bad was some sort of ham loaf.

But the pork patty? Satan's hockey puck, or simply Satan's ass.

lol,  must have been awful for that much hate.

The recent rendition was actually pretty good, on the hierarchy of MREs.  In the last 10 years I don' think there were that many truly vile ones.

You haven't lived until you have had C-Rats.

[Jim147]

As bad as they were, they can cheese crackers and chocolate were the highlights.

True. At least Spam isn't pretending to be ribs.

As to the "molded processed bland goo" part, though ...

[Hawkmoon]

Considering that C-Rations were discontinued right after the Korean War, it's unlikely that many people of this forum could ever have had any iopportunity to try a C-Rats.

[Jim147]

Then what was the canned food called in the '70's?

[dogmush]

Technically those were "MCI's", but everyone called them C-rations.  I remember  my Dad bringing home "C-Rations" into the mid -80's.  Then we got version 1 MRE's, which made you want C-rats.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-ration

FWIW, we still call them "A" and "B" rations, but "C" rations can mean either MRE's (pretty good) to Heater Meals (commercial prepackaged meals with a chemical heater, meh at best) to "Jimmy Deans" (cold crappy meals with canned meat, and some sides and a juice box. No thanks, I'll buy my own food).

Actually, no.  We had C-Rats right up through the '70s, at least in the Marine Corps.  While most of the ones I had the displeasure of eating were manufactured in the sixties, some of them were of Korean vintage if I remember correctly.

Bleh.

Korean War vintage would have been C-Rats. 60s were not C-Rats, they were MCIs.
