McDonald's lovers in South Africa, get ready! The iconic McRib is back on the menu for a limited time. This cult-classic sandwich, known for its unique barbecue flavour, is making a triumphant return to participating locations nationwide.
What is the McRib?
For those unfamiliar with this legendary sandwich, the McRib features a pork patty shaped to resemble a rack of ribs, slathered in tangy barbecue sauce, and topped with pickles and onions, all served on a soft, toasted bun. The patty itself is made from pork, water, salt, dextrose, and rosemary extract.
When Can You Get Your McRib Fix?
The McRib will be available starting November 11th. McDonald's hasn't announced yet how long it will stick around or which specific locations will be offering it, so keep an eye on their social media and website for updates.
A History of the McRib
The McRib first debuted in the United States in 1981 and has been a limited-time menu item ever since, disappearing and reappearing over the years. Its last appearance was in some US locations in 2023 and a full return in 2024, making its return this year even more exciting for fans.
Why is the McRib so Popular?
The McRib's appeal lies in its unique combination of flavours and textures. While the pork patty itself might be considered simple, the barbecue sauce, pickles, and onions elevate it to something special. It's a nostalgic treat that many associate with happy memories.
