McRib For The First Time!

  There's a lot of things I used to love as a kid but grew out of a long time ago. I replaced my love for Debbie Gibson and New Kids On The Block with Nicki Minaj or Sublime. I used to be a very shy and quiet kid where as now I am big mouth that cusses like a sailor. I may not be twirling in circles until I fall down anymore like I used to but there's one thing that will never change, my love for Mcdonald's. I always adored Mcdonald's. Grant it though I wish Mcdonald's was still the same as years ago with fun birthday parties and dangerous playground equipment, but I will forever be okay with the fact that their food no matter how ghetto thick my ass gets. I recall seeing the commercials for the McRib when it first came out. At first I could care less because I was still in my "Gimme my happy meal already so I can go play in the giant Big Mac head" phase.(Remember those giant Big Mac Climbers in the playground?) As I got older though I began to see the McRib in a new light and thought, "Damn, that looks pretty good." This was during the time when that McRib and Mcdonald's was tied together to that stupid "Flintstones" movie. Then it disappeared for a really long time with me still never tasting it. Supposedly McRib came back every once in a while but I never seen it. It was probably because I really don't watch T.V anymore except for Law and Order here and there. Just last week though as I watched my Discovery I.D channel, (Okay, I admit I'm hooked on the gore), and I seen a commercial for the return of the McRib. The commercial itself actually made me nauseous as it showed different people eating their McRib sandwiches which BBQ sauce dripping off their faces. Call me picky but I don't find people licking barbecue sauce off their finger tips appetizing. Either way I did manage to sit through the whole thing and was able to heard over my gagging "McRib is back for a limited time." I had to get one and today was my lucky day. I ordered my McRib but I didn't eat it until thirty minutes later when I got back home. I was all excited until I opened it and since there was onions and pickles. I had never seen the inside of a McRib unless it was many years ago on a commercial that I blocked from my memory. Every time I get a Mcdonald's sandwich the first thing I do is remove the pickle. I just don't like the taste nor the crunching noise while I'm eating my Cheeseburger. Onions in their sandwiches are okay as long as they are diced like the ones inside double cheeseburgers. Those long ones they throw inside the Quarter Pounder are a big no, no for me. They're just too fat and big and remind me of worms, so they get scrapped right out of my Quarter Pounder as well. After disposing of the onions and pickles it was now the moment of truth and the McRib was ready to be eaten. All and all it was pretty good! The only disappointment for me was that the sandwich still had a pickle taste to it but it was my own fault for letting the pickle saturate into the meat for so long.
 My only regret is that I hadn't tried it sooner. I think it's going to be a very McRiby week though because they are only selling them until December 5th, leaving me about a week of McRib sandwiches for lunch. Maybe for Thanksgiving tomorrow I can replace the turkey with McRib sandwiches. Oh shit, Mcdonald's is closed tomorrow for the holiday. Damn, there goes that idea. I guess I'll just have to get them whenever I can while they're still around. Here's to McRib! Long live the BBQ pork!

 The sandwich itself was pretty big for $1.99 and was covered with it's tangy barbecue sauce.
