I always thought it was a rib sandwich. That's what it says it is. I've never had one.

So now the question is: If it's not pork rib, what is it? Perhaps I don't want to know.

@Bernard It's rib-shaped sandwich. Chopped meat, in this case pork parts, formed into something that vaguely looks like ribs. No bones. Covered with a third rate BBQ sauce. McD's says they don't use heart, tripe, or stomach but they don't say exactly what parts they do use.

I've never had one.

There's a group that loves them and that goes crazy when McD's periodically brings them back. I had one in the 1980s when they first came out, and never thereafter. You haven't missed a thing.

I used to love these. I wouldn’t eat them now, too processed. I don’t know if I thought it was rib meat or not; I just assumed it was pork with bbq sauce.
