Which rib

Today's HEB ad. I'll take the one in the middle. You?

Heck I like them all.

I usually end up with st louis as well. They don't stock spares very well or often at my heb's and I prefer them over baby backs.

I'm with ya Bill, middle

whichever is meatier ... usually middle

I usually buy spare ribs and cut em down to St. Louis style.
I cook the extra pieces for snacking.

I'm with Bill , St Louis style .

Middle; although it is very hard to find good, “small”, ribs. Pigs, like beef are being taken to market much larger. Larger means more waste and tougher.

You nailed it.

I really like their dino ribs. They are beef, not pork.

Cooked the dino ribs the first time this year, they were great, but I think I like pork ribs better.

Usually get BB don't really know why. Heard St. Louis are juicer.

I was the same way about baby backs until I tried both side by side. Preferred the Saint Louis ribs. TGIF brought us baby backs years ago. Most of the barbecue joints including 407 stuck with the Saint Louis ribs.

These are ribs from 407.

Baby backs are my preferred. More juicy and meaty. But I will cook and eat them all! I do need to find some good beef ribs somewhere.

Baby Backs were not availed when I was growing up. That part of the rib went into the bone in pork chops.

Middle, I'll be smoking 2 racks on Sunday for the Superbowl.

Baby Backs on the right for me....less trimming and work, more beer drinking and eating.

I may be wrong but I think St Louis is just trimmed Spares. I personally like the thin part of boneless meat on the Spares so I buy Spares. Never cared for Baby Back ribs.

Sometimes they throw a piece of gristle from the sternum in there. Don't care for that.

Never met a rib I didn’t like.

I have to agree I like them all!

spare rib for me.

SOMEBODY GET BILL TO WIPE THE VASELINE OFF HIS CAMERA LENS!!!!! or get a new one jeezzzzz. looks like i got cataracts

Looks more like Saint Louis to me. Where is the sternum?

Still spare ribs, just trimmed.

We prefer the country style ribs, although some consider them not being ribs they work for us.

No they're not ribs, but I like them too. I like them a lot.

I think it's more about using pictures that aren't older than a year.

Ribs look good, even though they aren't baby backs.

From someone who has never posted a food picture in his life. Show us, don't tell us. That's a picture of an ad that was in the Houston Chronicle posted on the day the ad broke.. I'm sure the Chronicle would love to you've your expertise. Join me in the Bunker to view a picture that will knock your socks off.

I prefer country style ribs from a pork butt. Although it is technically not a rib, it taste great , has way more meat, and pork butts are on sale almost every other week for .99 cents per lb. somewhere. You can make your own if you have a sharp knife.

That was my favorite campfire cut.

IDK where the oink is in a hog, but I'd eat it.
