Do you enjoy eating spare ribs?

[lurkingdirk]

I made ribs yesterday for dinner guests. I smoked them for a short while with apple/hickory wood mixes, then I slow cooked them in a homemade BBQ sauce for hours. They were, as far as ribs go, delicious.

But it was a lot of work, and you get so messy eating them, and there's not so much meat on them. I just don't think it is worth it.

How do you feel about ribs?

Discuss.

They are absolutely, 100%, with a doubt, my favorite meal of all-time. My ****** makes the best ribs on the planet. Fact. It's almost a given, that every time she's in town, she has to make ribs for me. She cooks them for the better part of a day, and they pretty much fall off the bone. Then add grilled sweet corn, pineapple ham, steamed broccoli, and homemade mashed potatoes and you have my favorite meal. I know for a fact that she's making them on the the 4th of July, so I'm already salivating just thinking about it.

I've tried to make them a few times, but they just never turn out as well as hers do. They aren't messy at all because the meat comes off the bone so easily that you can pick them dry.

I don't believe ribs have ever had the pleasure of passing through my lips whilst journeying into the great beyond.

I like to eat them yes. I just **** the whole messy hands process, which is the reason I never ever eat them anywhere else then in my own home lol

I suck, I know.

I only eat them in restaurants. Too long of a process to make at home.

This is totally true - they're so messy. Definitely not first date food. You need a certain comfort level with people before you can all enjoy ribs together.

I only eat them in private.

Too messy and too carnal for public view.

I loooove me some ribs! They're messy, there's not much meat on them, and they're hard to cook, but, when they're made properly, they're one of the most perfect foods on Dawg's green earth! :yummie:

By the way, Dirk, how do you like to fuck watermelons? Do you heat it first, or do you just do it at room temperature?

 

[busenbust]

[TheOrangeCat]

Ah lurves me sum ribz!

I steam them over ****, then add dry rub, smoke in my offset cast iron smoker (cherry wood, or mesquite/apple), then leave overnight marinating in BBQ sauce, then finish off over charcoal.

People have wept with joy eating my ribs. Not MY ribs, but my ribs ... ahh, fuck it

Ribs are good. Especially human ribs.

Yes, they sound delicious, but...

Depends on where you get them from, and if you have access to the whole pig, the quality of that pig, and do your own butchering.

I have the best meat man ever (shut up), I do, I get the best, I do.:hatsoff:

 

[busenbust]

lurk and orange added to ignore ! -- for not inviting me!

The only ribs I've known are "King Ribs" see link below. Is this the same as the "Spare Ribs" thing you guys are on about?.

If it is then no I don't like them at all. No in the least bit do I like them. I prefer a steak or something.

Why have you never made ribs for me?

Well give me your ribs and I will. Start by making a vertical incision along the midline of the sternum ... PM me when you've done that and I'll talk you through the rest of the disarticulation.

 

[Vanilla Bear]

I never had ribs to be honest. :o

I'm not liking BBQ sauce and I thought they taste like it. But I would love to try some.

 

[squallumz]

occasionally i make beef ribs. i dont dig on the swine but people are always really surprised when i make the beef ones. and they go over nice.

i always braise em for a few hours then smoke em over mesquite outside.

the braising liquid makes an incredible sauce for em too.

 

[gunslingingbird]

i dont dig on the swine

But bacon tastes good! Pork chops taste good!

Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs ***** and root in ****. That's a filthy ******. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own *****.
