No way! Ribs rock. And the best part is after I've gnawed one down I make a woman out of it, just like the Bible. They aren't too bad looking, but they root a lot, and those little curly tails kind of gross me out during the dogstyle sessions.

me too. although i have had some fantastic boneless barbequed ones that were to die for.

this, however, describes perfectly my feelings about buffalo wings.

oh, and just 400 more visits till i win the pub glasses!! JOY!!

Overrated. Like you said, can be extremely tasty, but too little payoff for all the work.

If you're firing up the grill, throw a steak or a chicken on there for me.

daman son eatin ribs should be no chore...for ceratain..

Did I take you to the whole hog...

next time just ribs...

I'll let others eat them. I'll be sitting pretty on a nice, tender prime rib.

We have a Texas BBQ out here (yes the owners are from Texas - wonderful people). I've tried the ribs, pulled pork, and chicken bbq... but their hands down best is the beef brisket... fork tender and outstanding. Not to mention - no bones to hassle with.

mmmmm ribs.

If you all don't like 'em, you ain't et the right kind, son.

The Straight White Dude makes a damn fine rib.

Now, ribs can be good or bad_it's all in the technique. Baumans Ribs in St. Louis? I'll vouch for.. The rest, I dunno...

Boneless is the way to go. If you must have the bone in, then the slab is usually better when part of the tenderloin is left on. Otherwise, a total waste of time.

Also, beef ribs are better in my opinion, and venison ribs are way too lean to enjoy. Backstraps are awesome, though.

Dang it, now I need to head for the kitchen! Thanks T1G!

I say gimme chicken. I don't eat many ribs. Although I do cook them for the family.

Put them in a bean pot with a jar of bbq sauce and cook them at 200' all day. Fall off the rib tender. And not as much work.

Dunno how you are planning to get to Heaven if you don't eat ribs.

I don't like eating them because they are too messy. Which explains why it's a good thing I'm not a guy or a lesbian.

Guess this means you don't eat crab or lobster either? So much work for such a little bit of food. Then again, I do eat ribs. I have found some I love with lots of meat on them... but those that are mostly fat... I can do without those.

T1G,
It's a bit like eating little shrimp. A lotta work with very little satisfaction. I think you gotta be in the right mood for ribs, and not in a hurry.

... you ungrateful cretin!.... have you not tasted fresh country-cut ribs direct from my holy grill?... did you not scarf them down with grunting noises and whinnies of approval?....

.. disliking ribs, indeed.... you just need to visit Tennessee again... your memory is fading...

Bingley has that very same opinion of shrimp.

major dad's dry rubbed smoked spare ribs, on the other hand, are a thing of inestimable beauty. And bring neighbors flocking from blocks away when the smoke wafts overhead.

MMMM, ribs. For sure, you aint et the right kind! Too much fat? Mercy! Definately not the right kind.

The ones I made Christmas - fresh off the hog a friend of mine butchered, mmmmmmmmm. Smoked for many hours - Scrumptious!

What Oddy said - smoked pork ribs are the best! Especially if they come from Baumann's Fine meats in St. Louis, MO. He uses a dry rub that's to die for! Yummy!

If you would just try my ribs you'd love them. Seriously - keep an open mind........

but babyback ribs? Yeah, have never had any that I thought were worth the trouble....

Ribs Rock. Rib tips are even better.
