McDonald's has announced that an item missing for 10 years is finally returning to menus in the UK.
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.

McDonald's confirms McRib will return to menus
Costing £4.49 on its own or £6.19 as part of a medium meal, the McRib will be available in the UK starting from October 16, however, it will only be in restaurants for a limited time.
Discussing the McRib's return, Thomas O’Neill, Head of Menu at McDonald's UK said: “It is more than just a sandwich; it’s a phenomenon.
"We have heard our fans loud and clear – the fan petitions and pleas on social - and after almost a decade of anticipation, we are thrilled to bring back this iconic menu item.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
