Indeed. What I will do with the remaining pieces is
heat them briefly in extra water.

 DS> I think I'll pick up some hocks and make my own.

Now that would be good. The gelatinous experience reminded
me that I might want to get some for Chinese-style red cooking.

 DS> You know what else I forgot?  The figs.

A couple of them were suitable for any weird treatment;
the bulk were fine. There are about 4 left.

H'm. All of mine tasted okay. What MFK Fisher recommended
after a bad piece of shellfish was to get a glass of the
rawest, nastiest wine available (not a hard thing, given
the rest of Woodman's) and bolt it down: the wee beasties
will flee from the cheap booze, and you supposedly won't
get sick.

The issue I have is not just that it would be easy to make the
things, but also that it would be incredibly cheap - much cheaper
than a real piece of spice. I can see it now - a chunk of
ordinary wood, perhaps aromatic if the Connecticuters had a bit
of mercy, a thousand nutmegs.

McRib
cat: tastealike, historic
servings: 1

1 JTM Brand "Grillin' Ribs" pork patty
6 in long sandwich bun
2 Tb McDonald's Barbecue sauce
- or Bullseye brand barbecue sauce (original flavor)
1 Tb chopped white onion
3 sour dill pickle slices

Note: J-T-M is the only brand of these pressed and formed pork
patties that I've seen. They are shaped like a rack of ribs,
just like at McDonald's. I get them at Wal-Mart. Look for them
in the frozen meat section, near the pre-formed hamburger patties.

Cooking your McRib

1. Preheat your griddle to 400F. Cook the pork patty just like a
1/4 lb beef patty. (consult the package directions for cooking
times and other cooking options)

2. Toast the faces of both halves of the bun, using the bun
toasting method described throughout this site.

3. On the toasted crown (top) half, apply the barbecue sauce
and follow that with the dill pickle slices, spread out evenly.

4. Put the cooked "rib" patty on next, then add the onions,
followed by the heel. (bottom)

5. Wrap this masterpiece in a 12x16" sheet of waxed paper, let
sit 5 min, then microwave on high about 15 sec, still wrapped.

6. Enjoy a wonderful McRib Sandwich!
