McRib

What is it?

Boneless seasoned pork, shaped like a small rack of ribs, gets coated in tangy barbecue sauce and tucked into a soft roll with dill pickle chips and slivered onions. The texture is uniform and finely ground rather than rib-like, which is the point here. Compared with other McDonald's sandwiches, it's one of the few that leans on a molded pork patty instead of a burger or chicken fillet. It's served as a handheld sandwich, built for messier eating, and the sauce does most of the work for the flavor.
