I don't even understand what "All Day Breakfast" means. Are you only supposed to eat this one meal all day?

So, essentially, the "if you don't like the mcrib sandwich you're a snob" argument boils down to

"I want to eat this demonstrably terrible [plenty of ammo available to explain how nothing in it is actually food] 'food product' and I want to like eating it and I don't want to get ANY shit for it."

That doesn't seem like a fair request. People can like stuff. Awful stuff, even. But they should expect a corresponding amount of scorn for it. That's how shit works. This has nothing to do with food critics, or people on the board, or anyone else telling you the obvious. It has to do with the obvious. It's made of complete bullshit, it's bad for you, and it doesn't even redeem itself by tasting good. Just cop to it.

This same statement can apply to those who drink PBR as well.

Well, now, I have my afterwork viewing scheduled.

Though, I am imagining the commentary is going to be similar to either the commentary for Prodigy's "Poison" or Korn's "Blind".

And I grew up eating SPAM.

i made a SPAM hash a few months ago that was insanely tasty.

I still love what we called "SPAM and taters" when I was growing up. Basically a hash with cooked down onions. Mmmmmm

Totally. Drink / eat whatever you want, just admit when it's cheap and shitty.

And I still enjoy the flavor of a chik-fil-a sandwich. Or I guess I would, if they were near me, and if they weren't giving my money to anti-gay groups. But the sandwich itself isn't bad. When they're fresh and hot, the peanut oil flavor is good with chicken.

I've never had a chic-fil-a but I do love some White Castle now and then knowing full they are gross. And those Philly steaks with the cheese wizz have always looked horrible to me along with those sandwiches with the fries. Subway isn't great, but for a cheap sandwich in a hurry, it beats most fast food.

And to complete commentary on that link, I do dig a good po' boy.

Cap'n Squirrgle · **Posted:** Thu Dec 01, 2011 7:49 pm

I walked into a conversation about McRibs and Whitecastles just an hour ago at work, completely by chance. I had to show them the link. Now everyone's using the words Dick Meat as much as possible.

i've never had a mcrib, but if it tastes like an asshole, count me in!

I think I had one once, or talked about it, or was dared and probably ate it, but can't remember for sure.

pretty good story, if true.

How many fucking pickles does this guy need on his sandwiches? Does he just want everything to taste like pickles?

He's right about cheesesteaks, po' boys, and sandwiches with fries on them.

A lot of this is kind of marginally funny, but there is no way in hell that publicly derided things like McRibs and Subway are "overrated". Approximately two thirds of all the people I know turn their noses up at Subway. And I thought every adult either thought the McRib was either disgusting or an embarrassing guilty pleasure.

Finally, people need to understand that Chick-Fil-A is a fast food restaurant and should be measured against other fast food restaurants, not against the best gourmet sandwiches you can get at some local bistro that serves free range chicken served on bread baked at the bakery across the street that same morning. It's fast food and should be judged as such. If you've never eaten or have hardly ever eaten fast food chicken sandwiches then you will likely not appreciate the fact that the Chick-Fil-A sandwich is far and away the best one you can get anywhere.
