CECAA850 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 In 1972, Roger Mandingo, a University of Nebraska professor, received a grant from the National Pork Producer's council to develop a technology that bound small "umarketable parts of the animal" into a formation that looked more appetizing. I would have figured his expertise would lay elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germerikan Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I will offer myself and go to McD´s to eat a Mc Rib at lunch in honor of the McNastybits who cannot be eaten in the US. It is a hard job but someone has to do it. Wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/12/01/the-marginal-cost-of-the-mcrib/ McDonald’s has reintroduced its McRib sandwich. Consisting of meat that at one point belonged to a pig, it is now on yet another farewell tour, its sixth since 2004. (Actually, the first three were called “Farewell Tour,” the last three have been called “Reintroduction.”) The website the Awl.com points out that the reintroductions of this unusual product have all coincided with downturns in the price of pork. Seems reasonable to me: Mickey D’s assumes there is some best price for the McRib and compares it to the marginal cost, exactly as in our introductory textbooks. When the marginal cost drops sufficiently (and presumably the price of pork is the most variable item in costs), back comes the McRib.

mark1101 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Actually I've enjoyed a McRib recently...........I get mine with no onions nor pickles..............I may get another with double meat sometime. Tasted great to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Good thing we don't have a cultural predilection for dogs, cats, etc. The McRuff would probably be a howler! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 so how much more would a steak from the winner of the kentucky derby cost than say a steak from the pony at the circus? i'd eat horse meat...when i go visit my brother, we always have some sort of exotic meat. on superbowl sunday, it was kangaroo. a couple of weeks ago, he ordered some Yak; but, it wasn't delivered, so we went to this store and bought some Antelope.

One of the better sellers is the "Rossbratwurst" (Horse brat), that we get at the festivals. Rouladen from shank is also very good. Somehwhat an aquired taste though.

About 14 bucks a Kilo if you are interested here is a website where that is their specialty. http://www.rossfleischversand.de/shop/index.php?cPath=18&osCsid=50ce174cf1cd33823c0ad59f9cd508f3 I don´t think they send to the states though.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 My mother-in-law was born and raised in Germany. I think she came to the states in the early 50's. Every time she comes for a visit she makes Rouladen. It absolutely melts in your mouth. Rouladen, potatos, gravy and red cabbage. Normally accompanied by a German beer bought just for the occasion. She'll be down for Christmas, can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
