A Healthier (Vegan) McRib Sandwich

Though it tastes almost nothing like the original, this sandwich is healthier and very tasty in it’s own right.  And it’s vegan!  Always a plus in my book.  (I’m not a big fan of meat.) 

Morningstar Farms’ Hickory Barbecue Riblets are made from soy & wheat protein, have a meaty texture, and are smothered in yummy hickory barbecue sauce.  The wonderful flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the “riblet” totally tricks my mouth into thinking I’m eating meat while my mind can remain happy that I’m not.  I love these things, but I do know people who don’t so go out and buy a package for yourself to see if you will or not.  This sandwich is a good excuse to try it!
