I don't much care for baby back ribs, I prefer Spare Ribs, a $1.39/lb
here today. I like country ribs more than baby backs.... the boneless
county ribs are excellent, very meaty and not much fat. Of course it
all depends on how the butcher prepares them... the butchers here in
town do a much nicer job of trimming than the big chains. Whenever I
buy meat from other markets the crows luck out... from 3 pounds of
pork ribs the crows get near a pound of fat trimmings.
