And look at the size of that bun!
“Remember the best and forget the rest” are words I try to live by in this ever-changing merry-go-round we call life. I try.

McRib - the Other White Meat on the McDonald’s menu -
Haven’t had one in decades. They were a change of pace from the usual fast food items and welcome. Yes, I knew there were better options for bbq’d pork, but they were much farther away and didn’t have a drive through or an option that wasn’t going to be as messy in the car or office.
Today there is a joint offering a pulled pork sandwich that is pretty good almost as close as the nearest McD’s. And there’s a drive through. And I’m retired, anyway, so not always in such a hurry for eats.

Does remind me that a certain Italian maker of farm tractors makes some pretty nice cars these days.

True, but that’s also why I like this space. Most have decent manners and come across as genuinely nice people. I used to be on a forum called Food Banter where people , taking advantage of anonymity, would just be jerks. I’m all Onion now.
I just read Retorspeak and Sunshine’s interaction. I prefer to post among adults like that.
Thank you , good people, for acting like fellow human beings. Sadly rare, of late.
I don’t understand why seeking peace with others has become so unpopular.

Ya betcha’! The ‘Golden Rule’ is tarnished.
I noticed that when I retired 9-1/2 years ago (where did the time go?) the outside workd was becoming so hostile and UNfriendly. People stopped making eye contact, waving or muttering
"mornin’ ", in passing. It was a time when I would mention (and I still do) positive feedback to whoever was deserving of it. I thought it helped me maybe understand the world outside the public service ‘office’ I had just left. Two years later the US political climate changed and three years after that, the pandemic started and I then saw a world so full of hurt and anger. No barriers, no holds barred, no filters. I’ll stop now. Peace be with you and all of us everywhere.

I also remember getting into a fight over baklava on Chowhound around 2006. That was my first online discourse turned disagreement.

He isn’t here. He liked drier Middle Eastern -style Baklava and was trash-talking more syrupy and typically sweeter Greek-style Baklava.
I can find love for all styles of baklava. I’ve tried baklavas from a dozen different countries. Different nuts, different syrups, different shapes.
He touched a nerve.
He taught me Your Mileage May Vary.

It never ceases to amaze how personal people take other people’s personal preferences. I get yelled at or called a snob all the time for preferring not to dine at chains, even tho it has absolutely zero impact on anyone else’s enjoyment of their food - at least it shouldn’t.
Although my statement calling McD’s “baby food for adults” may have come off as just a tad bit judgmental

That is only bad if you think “baby food” is a negative.
LOL!

After having wiped enough baby food off of baby faces, hands, clothes, furniture, its hard to not have a negative feeling about baby food.

It is a pity that baba ganoush and hummus were not a thing in Montana when i was a toddler. They are probably healthier than Gerber pureed vegies.
