tried BBQ search....I tried google advanced on rbjb.com and biggreenegg.com. I know this has been discussed but I couldn't find it and the local store is advertising "Fresh Pork Riblets, Previously Frozen".
10 lbs for $11.
I'm thinking this is a Danish product.
I remember something about feather bones.
Darin I just remembered ask a buthcher so you'll see this question twice. Sorry darin mozilla blew up going to microsoft email.
Anyone else? Experience? How to cook?
Thanks

    <p />DTM,
    the butcher near me buys the country rib loin roast and cuts off part of the longer rib that is attached leaving about 2 inches with the roast, and 1.5 to 2 inch strips of riblets. this end of the loin has much more fat than whats sold on a typical loin roast and i think the flavor is better. he cuts these on tuesday and they go quickly, i have to ask for the riblets ahead of time

    thirdeye,
    old style butcher shop,well worn squeekey wooden floors hand made wooden shelves, 3 generations working the place from garandma in her 80's down to the 20 year old granddaughter. they make meat pies every morning which draws in the crowds. no real expensive cuts, just good quality day to day stuff. im a pork pie regular, and they treat me well, putting stuff aside for me during the week etc. there sausage makes the best fatties as well

    thirdeye,[p]If one were to go to the butcher what/how would he ask for these. My dad loves the Applebee's style riblets and I would really like to do that style for him.

    FSUScotsman,[p]I mean no disrespect to butchers and meat cutters in general, we have several meat shops/processors with excellent meat cutters, but in some of the stores where I shop, the only blade the meat department handles is a box cutter. So ....just to play it safe, I'd print out fishlessmans pictures and take them to your store.[p]~thirdeye~

    FSUScotsman,
    In case you need the Applebee's Riblet recipe, it is under "A" page 2. Hope you dad enjoys!

    Here's my favorite part.........[p]"Put ribs in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 hour or until ribs are fork tender."[p]Let's not forget this part either..........[p]"Heat broiler. Line broiler with foil for easy cleanup. Place ribs, meat side down, on broiler pan, brush with 1/2 the sauce and broil 4-5 inches from heat source for 6 to 7 minutes. Turn ribs over , brush with remaining sauce and broil 6 to 7 minutes longer or until edges are slightly charred."[p]But then again, this IS a recipe for APPLEBEE'S ribs, so if that is what you want, go for it.........[p]Lager,[p]Juggy[p][p]
