McRib McRIP?


 
Had one years ago wasn't that impressed. Being on a salt restricted diet I avoid fast food places anyway. Really don't miss it anymore.
 
They keep changing stuff to make it either more healthy or cheaper.
I used to like them and the fish sandwich but now they taste bleh.
Just like KFC gravy, when they used the cracklings that was the best, but they went healthy or more cost effective and now its just brown paste.

KFC gravy used to be AMAZING! I could literally eat just the mashed spuds and gravy.

KFC is barely worth eating anymore. Sad.
 
I try to get one once a year just like the Filet of Fish and Big Mac they are unique in that other fast foods don't have, plus the Hot Apple Pie. Nothing great but different.

Tim, sad to say, but, I agree. Here is the thing tho. Is it my taste buds going crazy or has KFC changed how they make their food?
 
Last time? I don't think so. The website says, "Savor every tangy bite like it’s your last because it just might be." (Emphasis is mine.)

It might just be my last if I choke to death on it or suffer a heart attack from it, but I'm pretty sure it'll be back someday, if not next year.

Maybe that’s the key is fresh from the fryer. Same applies to stuff from McDonald’s
 
I still like KFC chicken (original recipe only, please), but they really disappointed me years ago when they did away with my favorite piece, the "center breast". Two little tenders flanking the keel bone cartilage. No bones, just delicious white meat. I'm able to wax nostalgic at a nearby casino buffet that includes that favorite piece among their fried chicken. I remember as a child going to a small cafe called the Mayview in Boody, IL that served Kentucky Fried Chicken as a licensee before there were franchised restaurants. There was a guy there, the owner probably, who wore a goatee, glasses and string tie, perhaps trying to look like Colonel Sanders.
 
I usually get a McRib when they bring it back each year. I just haven't been able to get motivated to do that this year. No particular reason just doesn't sound good this time.

As for it maybe never coming back? It seems like they say that every year. I'm with Chris, they will definitely bring it back again. It's like the Rocky and Bullwinkle bit, "Watch me pull a rabbit out of this hat! This time for sure!".
 
A little while ago, DH came to me and said he just saw something on TV that he would like for lunch. He said do you want to know or be surprised? I said surprise me (I know, living dangerously lol) Yep, he came back with a McRib, fries and my second favorite soda, Dr. Pepper. Thank you SWEETHEART!!!!! Enjoyed everything very much!!!!!!
