Excuse me Sir Winston...

The original Blues Hog sauce is a sweet sauce, with a honey or molasses thickness. It's not an often favorite of mine, but it has its moments. I know people who actually put it on ice cream. Nope, not your normal BBQ sauce. Of course, you MUST like sweet sauce to like this stuff.

Ok, so in my house using any kind of sauce on my mothers food was calling down the wrath of mother. She felt it was an insult to her food. Consequently, I'm not so big on sauces. I don't like ketchup or gravy or barbeque sauce or anything like that.

I agree with you about the cheese whiz, but like the Blues Hog, it does have its moments. And in its defense, it does have some cheese in it. And for those couch potatoes who run out of crackers while watching TV? No need to force yourself up off that comfy spot to find more. Cheese whiz has its own vehicle built in. It does need a bit of aiming, though. While I would try it, just to see what it tastes like, I really think I'll stick to my choice of provolone on a Philly steak. Cheese whiz seems to cheapen the whole thing for me.

Amen. But then, I LOVE LOVE LOVE provolone.

Dietary factoid of the day: you can save 9 grams of fat the next time you have a Big Mac by ordering it without the "special sauce."

I usually find special sauces incredibly unspecial.

I drove by McDonald's today. Thought of this thread. Wanted a McRib. Badly.

Drooled onto the cup holder.

But I resisted, swerved, avoided an accident, and am gonna get a big pile of minced 'cue at a local BBQ dive, where the nutritional info is not so readily available.

But doesn't the special sauce help hold it all together? It's Thousand Island salad dressing, isn't it? Maybe you could order it without, then add your own...low cal version.

I never really cared for that sandwich. It's been years and years since I've had one. Do they still have that bit of cardboard around the sides to keep it um...erect?

No, they recently re-formulated the recipe for the special sauce (it's now called special saucyalice) and the Big Mac keeps its shape pretty well for a 50 year old sandwich. However, if your Big Mac keeps it's shape for longer than four hours, you are advised to see a doctor.

I gave in and had one the other day, and kind of enjoyed it, but not like I did last year. Then I gave in and had one today...I ate 2 bites and decided it was disgusting and I wasn't going to force myself to finish it.

I fear the love is gone for me.

I think they did away with those when they went to the "made for you". It probably lost it's shape while sitting under the heat lamp before.

And really, what's the point of a bigmac with out the special sause? This store has a regular customer that orders a bigmac-only cheese every day! Seriously, that's a lot of money for a mcdouble on a bigmac bun.

I like the Big Mac ad where the couple is sharing the fries in the two claw foot tubs, outside.

I once ate two McRibs in a row. I was quite drunk, with a bunch of friends. I had no idea why I thought inhaling two McRibs was something that needed doing, but I often get hyper when I drink, and I ran across a busy street, and, well... Um... What was I talking about again?

Oh. Yes. No McRib has ever tasted as good as those did. Maybe that's why it's a limited time only item.

I ate two McRibs in a row this past Thursday, when she brought them to me from our second-closest McD's, 45 miles away, when she came back from PT on her ankle. They were nummy. I'll probably have a couple more in a week or three, and then Jones for them until the next campaign. Limited time *does* seem to enhance the experience.

 

[HottieMama]

I had one this afternoon when I was out running errands... Now I just feel greasy and like I need a nap. It was still delicious though.....

McRibbed. For her pleasure.

That's mouth-orgasm denial, for ya. They know what they're doing...

What other fast-food sandwichy thing gets its own four-page thread?

...Now I just feel greasy and like I need a nap.

You keep coming up with branding gold.

This guy needs a job, or a life, or both.

He sure does, but I'll admit: the phrase "dark, ribby murmurings," is probably one of the finest things I've read in quite a while.

He's the F. Scott Fitzgerald of pork.

I think he has one: McRib beat reporter for The Awl.

Are you not a poster? Do your ramblings not ramble as well as other, non-you ramblers??

Aye, aye, a thousand times aye!!!

Ahaha! Some of the visuals are revolting, but that's hilarious. Love the Trading Spaces clip.

You, sir, I have relinquished myself to not argue with, for it does me no good.

 

[DeepGreenEyes]

"Revolting." Hehehe. That made me laugh. Yes, well, there is one news story that appeared this week about the McRib that I have decided NOT to post here, because it would ruin everyone's fun. But should one wish to pursue it, it is out there. You have all been warned.

You, sir, I have relinquished myself to not argue with, for it does me no good.

What?! You make your jokes about taking me behind the barn for a whoopin', I demand the MIB toys that were really something BK made, and not McDonald's, we exchange a couple of extremely mild sexual innuendos, and everyone goes home happy! What's not to like?

Ha! I knew it! I knew I'd never heard of such happy meal toys!

And I didn't say I didn't enjoy it, it just doesn't do any good to argue with you as you tend to have the upper hand.

But my mood of surrender has passed. I'm fickle that way.

Thought of putting this in "what made you smile"...

but a more appropriate response is to just shake my head in wonderment:
