Baby Backs Vs Spares

[meat magician]

Whenever I buy the St. loius style they are pre-cut and packed at the grocery store and always have about an inch of cartalige left on the bone ends, thats the part I do not care for. I've never bought the entire spare and trimmed it myself but probably would prefer to do it that way from now on.

I am in the camp of liking Spares better, trimmed or not. I prefer to trim them so I have the trimmings to use for other recipes. Just my .02 ...

Do you have a Sam's Club close by? If so, get a friend to take you there (one with a membership) and get a pack of thier Spares. Three in a pack and good and meaty,IBP product I think . Anyway if no Sam's Try Super K-mart,Kroger or the other major supermarkets. The out-of-the-way Meat Mkts. are good too.
Hope this helps.
