Together we delighted in the joints in Lockhart, TX, and all by my lonesome, I have traveled the <a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/2013\/02\/lexington-nc-bbq-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NC BBQ trail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings us to the topic of the day. \u00a0Not even sure why this was in my freezer, I may have picked it up by accident from the $1 scratch and dent bin.<\/p>\n<p>In appearance (and concept, I guess) the pork and &#8216;mechanically separated chicken&#8217; patty resembles the infamous and mysterious McRib, that cult offering from McDonalds which only appears once or twice a year.<\/p>\n<p>As ingredients are listed on a package in the order of weight, the bbq sauce is the largest component of the meal, followed by the mash, and then the meat patty, with corn holding up the rear.<\/p>\n<p>Microwave instructions call for 3 minutes, stir potatoes, 2 minutes, then a 2 minute rest before consuming.<\/p>\n<p>The sauce wasn&#8217;t bad, the texture of the patty was pretty unappealing to me, it may have been better slapped on a quality bun with onions and\/or pickles.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d say it&#8217;s a quick and easy meal for kids, but it&#8217;s high in sodium and carbs. \u00a0If you don&#8217;t care, and you see them on sale, stock up! \u00a0Would I buy it again? \u00a0Hell, like I said, I don&#8217;t even remember buying it the first time, so no, HELL no.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11219\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11219\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_095910_Android.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11219  \" alt=\"Swanson Riblet Review\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_095910_Android-1024x755.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"317\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11219\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Frozen, out of the box<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11220\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_100454_Android.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11220  \" alt=\"Swanson Riblet Review\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_100454_Android-1024x752.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"316\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Out of the nuke box (butter added)<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11217\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_100658_Android.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11217  \" alt=\"Swanson Riblet Review\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_100658_Android-1024x845.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Plated, with butter &amp; pepper added<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11218\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11218\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_100739_Android.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11218  \" alt=\"Swanson Riblet Review\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140325_100739_Android-1024x961.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"404\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11218\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Close up of patty texture<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Banquet Boneless Pork Rib Review<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s file this one under two categories: 1) &#8220;things I&#8217;ve tried so you don&#8217;t have to&#8221;, and 2) &#8220;I don&#8217;t like ribs.&#8221; \u00a0 I just never have liked ribs, though some other barbecue treats are a delight to me. \u00a0 Funny, cause Mrs. Burgerdogboy can pack away multiple slabs at a time, and like a&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/?p=11222\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Banquet Boneless Pork Rib Review<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,16,34],"tags":[569,1494,1722],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11222"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11222\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.peterstromquist.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
