BTW, what are bacon ribs? ... someone mentioned them the other day too but I've not heard of them

They're usually already cooked C_Q (up North )

But they're delicious on their own, but better when they've been de-salted by boiling them again

Awwwwww .... I'm so going shopping soon

Curry_Queen,

I think bacon ribs are just another name for pork ribs........but I could be wrong.

Ahhh right, maybe people just call the same thing different names. I must admit I was a bit confused when the other thread came up which is why I didn't offer anything as I wasn't sure.

Well, thinking about it, ribs is ribs is ribs LOL! The bony bit under the belly pork

Thanks owey, but how small are they?

That's what bothers me. Sometimes the ones we get from the Chinese take-away are so small I wonder where they come from ..... as in which animal?

The smaller pieces come from the sternum (breast bone) and some places (the tight a$$ ones) will actually cut ribs in half too :rolleyes:

Imagine your own rib cage - longer ribs at bottom, getting shorter towards your collar bone and the pigs ribs are pretty similar




Edit: I got that a bit !!!!!! about face didn't I

The longer ribs on the pig would be nearer the shoulder end with the smaller ones toward the rear

We still have a good local butcher, and he get's them about 4-5ins long, and they are from a pig.

When my OH buys them from the take-away, they're sometimes less than 3" long ..... and a lot less that 1/2" thick.

Costs a fortune too .... the mad fool

Not quite the same, but very similar.....the one I have is taken from the complete illustrated cookery course. My copy is 16 years old so she may have updated the recipe. Come to think of it, my book is beginning to look very tired too, but I couldn't bear to update it.;) I think of it as an old friend.
