More Ribs

As I said before, the upside of living in a country that has excellent farmers and butchers but lacks a clue as to what to do with ribs is that you can get them really cheap (when you can get them at all). My butcher sells them for the equivalent of $2.50/lb, and these are from some of the highest-quality pigs anywhere. I started a run on them today at the shop. It was me, the butcher, and 3 guys behind me in line (no civilizing presence of women at the time). I got slightly enthusiastic on the rib issue. We all walked out with ribs, leaving none, the butcher threatening to raise prices.
