Thank you, thank you, thankyouverymush! (Best Elvis impersonation... {not very good, lol!})
And yeah, HM, they don't seem to fit into the nutritionist's pyramid of healthy stuffs to eat... but who gives a damn? They're GOOD!
Woowee!
48% of your daily sat fat limit and 65% of your daily sodium limit in one little snacklet! And let's be honest - nobody's going to order it without fries too!

....but Bunny's right - the Big Mac beats it with 52% for sat fat and 67% for sodium

You know, that's not making me want one any less.
Do they even make these in Australia? I've never encountered them here before, so if not... I guess I'm going on holdiay.
Well...you ARE Canadian, right?
You do.
Fillet-O-Fish is McAwesome! Lol

But is this sandwich suppose to be a true pork rib incarnation? It's fast food. There's no rib in there, but the meat is formed to look like ribs. The sauce is tasty. They have used just one of the many different types of sauce in the BBQ world. It's tangy, yet sweet and the pickles add a bit of sour to the mix.
Is it real pork BBQ? Well, it's a fast food, so no. I live in the mid-west U.S. which is one of the meccas of BBQ. There are so many different tastes for someone looking for BBQ in my city, it could make your head spin. There are sweet sauces, sweet and sour mix sauces, hot sauces, dry rubs, marinates and various combinations of each.
We have more than a few contests where people come from around the region with their cookers, their smokers and their secret family recipe. We just had one. The American Royal BBQ. You can stand a couple miles away during that outdoor fest and just take in the different aromas...heaven to the nostrils.
As for healthy, I don't think true BBQ is really that healthy for you. If you're concerned about healthy eating, you won't care for BBQ. If you do find a healthy BBQ sauce, I don't think it will taste very good. As for the McRib, it's not true BBQ, but the sauce has a hint of BBQ, and so you can fool yourself into thinking it's real BBQ, to satisfy your hankering.
I don't venture into the McDrive that much, except for their breakfasts, on occasion. There is a golden arches just about every couple miles. But, even though I know what real BBQ tastes like, and I know that the McRib is far from real, I often find my car turning into the lot for one...or two, and with fries, of course, when they're around.
I wonder if I'd enjoy them quite so much if they were always on the menu. Maybe I'd get burned out on them, and not care for them any more. I guess that might be part of their marketing tactics. I don't know. But I don't think about health or real BBQ so much when eating a McRib. I just like the taste. God, did I just say all of this out loud?
The McFish is kind of like the McRib. It's not a real cut of fish. It reminds me of fish sticks. A McFish with cheese isn't too bad or maybe with some ketchup. But, I grill, too. And yes, that's just grilling, but it adds a flavor to food that cooking another way doesn't give. I think you can grill most anything and add to the flavor. Grilling might be more of a purist way of becoming one with your food and fire.BLECH! The only way I would eat a McFish is if I was literally starving to death and it was my only option.
I love fish, BTW. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
The McFish defiles fish.
I don't eat BBQ for my health. I rarely eat BBQ anything.
(I have just learned, from my Texan friend, that what I used to think was BBQ'd food is actually "grilled" food. Apparently the difference is the sauce. I eat quite a bit of grilled food. Here, anything cooked on a BBQ we say is BBQ'd. My friend tells me that I am a Philistine for calling grilled food BBQ).
But if I am going to eat unhealthy BBQ'd ribs, I'd just rather eat the real thing.
I think I've had this discussion before. And while I understand all of what you said, DVS, it still baffles me.

It's because he grew up eating it. He hasn't had any fast food in years, but he says he'd eat it in a heartbeat if it were healthy. ) with my own bbq sauce that are fucking phenomenal, if I do say so myself. I rub them all over with my own spice rub, slow cook them in the oven for a couple of hours, and then baste them with my bbq sauce and finish them on the grill. Fahhhbulous!
I make grilled ribs (pasture raised pork, of course
Good god, that sounds incredible.I make grilled ribs (pasture raised pork, of course
