The 1980’s classic, McRib last appeared in the UK back in 2015, but now the pork sandwich will return for a limited time.
The McRib is a boneless pork patty, shared like ribs, covered in BBQ sauce with onions and pickles all in a toasted bun.
In the UK, the McDonald’s item was launched back in 1981 but failed to impress and was discounted just four years later.

The message from the app said: “McRib_Test.notification _16.10.24 [TEST]” with an error message attached.
