I got heavy ribs at the IGA on Wed

[Marthe48]

Put them on to slow cook at 8:30 this morning. They got tender already. I got them out of the broth, onto a broiler rack, and boil the broth down to a saucy consistency, used as the finishing coat. Early lunch Such a treat!

I don't measure, but I use molasses, salt, liquid smoke, hot sauce, garlic and some msg.

The ribs were 1.28/lb, probably locally sourced. Last time I bought some, they were either .78/lb or .98lb

1. I'm jealous

My husband doesn’t like ribs (how can anyone not like ribs??) so there’s no point in making them. Sounds truly yummy.

3. My husband didn't like them

Since he passed away, and I'm on my own, I'll make things that I like, but he didn't care for. I like about everything, and he liked almost everything

2. What are "heavy ribs"?.

Are they beef or pork??

[Marthe48]

4. I think they are what my Dad called spare ribs

The big bones, from a mature pig. I got enough in the pack for 4 meals. If I had 2 meals, or 1 meal, I'd regret my feast

5. Ahhhhh

In Ohio...often called Country Spare ribs/ pork

7. This IGA has country ribs

They are really meaty, and not much bone or fat. The heavy ribs I got have less meat, and the bones are 6-8" long, kind of graduate in size. I think you can Google images to see the different rib types. I hadn't heard these called heavy ribs until about 3 years ago. Meatcutters and stores are renaming some cuts to make them sell better. I like cottage ham. I was looking for one, and none of the stores sell it now. It used to be cheap. It didn't sell like butt ham did, so they used the shoulder for other meat products. My daughter found a meat store up north that sells small cottage hams for 8.99/lb. Crazy.

6. IGA has the best deals on meat

Beating even the big mega-stores.

8. Someone elsed posted they thought prices

didn't go up as much in local or regional stores. Our IGA has good quality meat that is affordable.

9. I love ribs. The best ribs I ever had were cooked on a

grill by a Cuban in a trailer court in Opa Locka, Florida.

10. MY Mom and Dad did ribs nice

My Mom precooked them with spices in the house. My parents had a building they'd made over into 'the lodge' for parties and entertaining. Had a huge stone fireplace my Dad and his friends built. When Mom had them cooked, one of us kids would take a roaster full back to my dad and he'd finish them on an open fire. Usually several roasters full. So good

11. Delicious enjoy

Here these guys don’t like bone in Ribs they want boneless I’m like fellas that’s just pork chops, yet they’ll eat bone in pork chops.
I enjoy pork chops for breakfast at times with eggs and this BBQ bourbon glaze.
