Thanks Eddie, that was cool to watch.

Oh and if anyone has cutting specs for pork that would be amazing. Lamb, mutton, veal and beef can be found there.

If you are having trouble explaining to your butcher exactly what you are after get them to watch Toby's videos which shows exactly what you are after.

Great information guys, I appreciate it immensely. What about beef ribs? Do you all have short ribs and back ribs and are they referred to as such?

Thanks in advance
