Default rib type question



I see and hear of different types of ribs and wasn't sure if it was the cut
or the prep. Can someone please explain the different types. Memphis, KC,
St. Louis, baby back, country, spare etc.

Thanks, Mike

St. Louis are simply trimmed spare ribs. Baby back are a different cut
of meat, country ain't really ribs, the other's you mention are styles
of cooking/preparation.

Hormel, of all companies, used to have a great knowledge base on BBQ
and the different cuts/styles of meat, but I can't find it any more.
The links I posted here a few years ago are defunct, and I can't
find it by navigating their site normally.

Anybody know if that section of their site is still available
somewhere? If not, then I now have no reason to not hate them 100%.
Well, except maybe for their Herdez brand salsas...

I suppose I should read labels more carefully. I had no idea Hormel owned
Herdez.

That was another of the links I was looking for. The author posted
that here a few years ago and I thought it was pretty thorough back
then. I had a few disagreements, but...
