They are very open to new ideas - they started stocking beef ribs after my suggestion.
Good idea though. Although I guess you'd be back up to silly price by the time they add their bit.

H Smith only seem to have the meaty belly ribs on their web page - not the meaty baby backs which Meatpacks sell.

Ive only used the Booker ones
I was at Costco and noted they gave american pork now. I only saw loins, but maybe there are plans for different cuts.
Re: Fribin Ribs
Yep I ordered a box of T & G Breast ribs, picture showed a lovely trimmed rib and 2 choices. I went for the bigger box at 2.5KG and got 1 rack of ribs for 20 quid

Re: Fribin Ribs
Hi Kiska, I ordered these too the other week and was slightly disappointed at the fact it was one rack. However they left a lot of meat on top of the rib which was great. I cooked it on Saturday and started it at 1330 at 225f but it still wasn't ready at 2100. Will have to allow 12 hours for the next one.

Re: Fribin Ribs
No complaints about the meat but I could have bought a full belly, ribs included for that price. Had they been 3 or 4 ribs I would have been fine

Re: Fribin Ribs
Well you pay per kilo so you just get the weight in 1 rack surly? Just cut it up into 2 or 3 rib sections.
I have to say though I do like whole bellys and cut your own. I use the trim for beans. Mmmm.

Re: Fribin Ribs
Its Ok to cut up but when you have guests and you think you are getting 2.5 kilos of trimmed ribs its a bit disappointed to just get one.
