Yep, pork ribs. These are baby back ribs. I've still never bought beef
short ribs. I saw some at Publix last week. I forget the price but it
seemed exhorbitant. There was nothing to them. Three beef short ribs,
mosty fat and bone from what I could see.

I do like beef ribs. Had them (dry rub) along with some pork ribs with
sauce at The Rendezvous in Memphis in the 1980's; it was a company paid
luncheon. I noticed on the menu they also served lamb ribs (dry rub)
that sounded interesting. I sure as heck wouldn't want to try lamb ribs
slathered in any kind of BBQ sauce.

Anyway, BBQ (the sauced ribs variety) really is a rare occurence for me.
I like it, just don't think about it very often. Odd for someone who
has lived in the South for quite a while.
