Seems like as good a place to ask about this as any. Growing up in the 80s my mom would sometimes make the fam Bib Ribs for dinner. They came frozen and actually had plastic bibs included. From what I remember they were almost identical to the McRib: boneless, pre-sauced, obviously processed texture. I can find exactly ZERO info about Bib Ribs online so I’m really starting to wonder if they weren’t part of some twisted dream. Anyone else remember them?

1pound boneless pork loin 1/2teaspoon cayenne pepper kosher salt and black pepper 1 cucumber, thinly sliced 3tablespoons cider vinegar 2tablespoons olive oil 2teaspoons brown sugar 1/3cup mayonnaise 4 Portuguese rolls, split

Heat oven to 450° F. Season the pork with the cayenne and ¼ teaspoon salt. Roast on a rimmed baking sheet until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center reaches 145° F, 20 to 25 minutes; thinly slice. Meanwhile, combine the cucumber, vinegar, oil, brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and black pepper in a medium bowl. Divide the mayonnaise, pork, and cucumber among the rolls.

Pizza just looked better in the 80s (and early 90s). The cheese was stretchier. The toppings more liberal. Pizza was a special occasion, a treat to indulge oneself before a trip to Blockbuster on a Friday night. There was no woodfired, artisinal, oblong-shaped margherita bullshit. Just simple, hot, gooey, cheesy, stick-to-your-ribs pies. Please come relive and pay homage to this golden era.

My mom wasn't a big fan of bread, pastas, rice, etc (not because she had any ideas about carbs she just thought that food group was sort of boring) so she tended not to give it to me. Instead I got a dollop of cottage cheese, and 2 or 3 slices of bologna. I would put some cottage cheese in the bologna, roll it up and eat it like that. Occasionally Fritos corn chips were on the menu so I'd toss those in as well.
