Burger King has a bone in pork rib now.
Has anybody tried it?
How was it?
No but here’s a review. Doesn’t sound or look too appetizing. I’ll pass.
My husband tried them and liked them, but he’s…not very picky.
After reading that review, I can’t wait to not try them.
Why would I do that to myself? For about the same price I can get a rib “sandwich” (that is, three big, meaty ribs and two slices of white bread, possibly with sides) at any rib shack in the county.
Bah, I saw the commercial but must have missed the part where they said they weren’t boneless. I’m bad enough effectively getting meat off good ribs…
There are some things that fast food should not attempt. This is one of them.
Masochist that I am, I tried them. They are better than I expected, but my expectations were set very low.
Pluses: Sauce is served on the side. Meat is not of the fall-off-the-bone “meat jello” variety (which is what I was expecting). There really is a bone in there!
Minuses: Tiny (they’re about thumb-sized.) Very little meat. They don’t really taste like anything but that odd Burger King faux-grill flavor (which is why BK is near the bottom for fast-food hamburger chains for me.)
edit: I guess the heartening thing for me is that this is fast food trying to do meat that actually has the texture of meat (not some parboiled/overly brined crap that’s been processed into mush), is actually leaving the bone in, in a segment of the food industry where even chicken wings have become boneless. So, I give them credit for that, even if the execution leaves much to be desired.
That said, I guess the point is, why would I want to go to Burger King in the first place if I wanted something that resembled real meat.
I have.
compared to texas ribs, meh.
for a quick guilty pleasure, they’ll do.
I’ve had them. They’re not bad. Decent amount of meat on them and they weren’t smothered in sauce. They were definitely real ribs not some manufactured “ribs”. I’d order them again.
The commercial is creepy even by BK standards. I keep expecting the man-pig to pull the ribs right out of his chest.
OK, you’re the second person I talked to that had ribs with a decent amount of meat on them. I must have gotten unlucky, as for me there was definitely more bone than meat.
You did give the secret handshake right?
Fast food doesn’t have bones.
Somebody go tell BK to knock it off.
One rib is the size of my thumb, and they cost $1.50-$2 each.
Amazingly, they taste like the McRib.
