Day 28: McMadrid

Yesterday I committed the cardinal sin of the European traveller: I had dinner at McDonald's. In my defense, I was hungry, it was late, and it was cheap. And most importantly, I've found out that Spanish McDonald's seem to have the McRib as a permanent menu item. As far as I know, McDonald's in Canada haven't had the McRib in several years (I seem to remember a tie-in with the last Flintstones movie), and I don't think I've had one since I was in Spain five years or so ago. So what's the verdict? Is the McRib worthy of all the hype? Not really, it's actually kind of not good. It is a pork patty mechanically shaped to look like a slab of ribs, after all. But still, I can sort of see why it has the cult following, and I bet if it ever came back to American I'd have another one.
