Or a glorified sammich?

Either way, it owns.

Because it's a burger in the shape of rib...it's not actually rib.

Double Cheeseburger /w mac sauce is the cheapest, best way to kill yourself, I love it.

Probably. It's not ribs...

That is a good question. What is the McRib made out of then?

Yeah, what IS the McRib made out of? Never had one.

It's a beef patty just like a burger but they put BBQ sauce on it and press sections into it so it looks like little ribs."

So the McRib is a lie?

I vote no. Its a sandwich. McRib is made from some sort of pork-like product. Pork and pork-like products come from pigs. A hambuger, to be considered a true hambuger must have a pattie made of beef or beef product. Beef comes from cows as we all know.
Chick-fil-a's, veggiebugers, BBQ sandwiches are all disqualifed from the Hambuger title.

Someone needs to spray paint the McRib is a lie on a Mc Ds, just for portal fans.

Definitely a burger. The meat is ground, and not an actual rib. Otherwise you'd bite into bone every 2 bites.

It is made of ham, so I guess it is.

Hamburgers are made out of ground beef.  Pork sandwiches are not hamburgers.  This is not up for debate/discussion.

No Beef = No Hamburger

It's ground pork, not ground beef. The McRib is not a hamburger.

"Someone needs to spray paint the McRib is a lie on a Mc Ds, just for portal fans."

It's a delicious lie.

I've always wanted to try a McRib. They sound so tasty!

I'd have to agree that it's a burger, but not a hamburger. It is a formed patty (albeit in a slightly different shape than normal) from ground meat and filler (probably sawdust or vinyl shavings) which grants it burger status, although it's disqualified from being a hamburger as it lacks the required beef.

I had one once, and it was a surreal experience. Much like eating a McDonalds burger makes you feel like you're eating a machine's interpretation of what a hamburger should be, eating a McRib is like an approximation of pork ribs, but only in the vaguest sense.

i think that weve reached a new age of hamburgers, and really need to take a good look at ourselves and re-evaluate what a hamburger is. in an age where anything from a cow, to a turkey, to a homeless person can be easily ground up and put on a bun, a hamburger is becoming a much more general term, refering to an array or delicious food-like materials on a bun, and to discriminate against the mcrib and call it a mere "glorified sammich" just because its not beef or just because it might be made out of spiders or homeless people is blasphemy of the worst kind.

It's a sammich

I've always thought of it as being a sandwich. The information in this thread regarding how it's made is deeply depressing, I actually used to like those things a lot time ago.

OH MY GOD! THE MC RIB IS BACK!!! *just ate one*
