So if McDonalds only releases the McRib when pork is cheap, and takes it back off of the menu after pork prices rise, does this mean that you could use the McRib as an indicator?

When I was younger I recoiled at the idea of a fish sandwich from McDonald's but I still remember the first time I had it circa 2002 on a Friday when I decided to throw caution in the wind and get the Filet-O-Fish McDeal. Was it life changing? I wouldn't go quite this far but it certainly was an eye opener.

No, it might not be my usual or even a frequent companion in my car, but the Filet-O-Fish holds a special place in my heart. The soft steamed bun is like a heavenly pillow that holds a perfectly crisp and flaky patty of sustainable Alaskan pollock. The tartar sauce is impeccable with just the right amount of tanginess and the perfect creamy companion to the patty; it really does tie everything together. Cheese on fish? I wasn't a believer either but that slice of processed cheddar cheese, invariably perfectly melted like you see in the ads, is a magnificient addition. Possibly superfluous, I can't say for sure because I've only had one with cheese, but I have faith that the McDonald's creators knew what they were doing when they added it; they tend to perceive the gestalt of each menu item in a way that most of us simply cannot.

I am a fan of juxtaposing textures and I concede that the Filet-O-Fish does not have a contrasting crunch to balance the impossibly soft steamed bun and generous helping of tartar sauce. But you know what? It works. God knows why but it works, it really does. I sometimes alternate bites with their world famous fries, refreshing every so often with an ice cold Diet Coke that cleanses my palate and readies me for the next delightful bite.

For me,it will always be the McChicken. But when I'm feeling adventuresome or just want a change from the usual perfect sandwich, I go for the Filet-O-Fish.

Never understood why mc fish never expanded the options.
I suppose you can do it now seeing robots run the place.
Add Toasted bun, lettuce and onions.

Either way their best burgers were pre 90s cheeseburgers, made and seasoned on a grill, and served straight up. Fuck those things were tasty after a few beers.

I've heard it sells so well in the US that it actually increases the market price of pork but it could just be a seasonal thing that would happen regardless

this is obviously an actual mcdonalds "meme" ad, like 3-for-free and god knows how many other """""IRONIC""""" long ass descriptions of mcdonalds food written in an exaggerated praise-laden way, just hyperbolic enough to appear as though it was only intended as a funny piece but actually lacking in anything that's actually funny

aka, it's a fucking ad

and it works because now I want one of these gay fish burgers

Some company did this with turkeys and wound up shipping them back and forth on train cars to keep them refrigerated, then they invented the TV dinner with the excess supply.
