Did I Make a Butt Out of Myself at the Local Grocer Bout Ribs?

[silverwolf636]

[h3]Did I make a butt out of myself at the local grocer? I was checkin out the ribs when some lady came up to them and asked another lady bout gettin some ribs. The other lady said "That ribs are no good, they are all bones and they are tough." I just gave a grunt sniker. She looked at me and asked what's so funny. I just went on to tell her that she must be doin somethin wrong and that ribs are some of the most tender suculent tasting meat you can eat. I wasn't gettin rude with her. She went on saying, "What's a man doin tryin to tell me I don't know how to cook ribs?" With that she walked away. Oh well.[/h3]

Sounds like she can't handle the truth about how she tries to cook her ribs. Oh well she will get over it. The truth hurts sometimes.

 

[matts]

Sounds like a winner.  You better track her down and invite her over to your next rib fest to try some real rib cookin.

 

[flash]

LOL, she sounds like a boiler to me.

That's a good question.  My co-worker came back from the 4th of July talking about boiling his ribs in Hawaiian punch and finishing them on the grill. I started to say something, but then I decided I would just be quiet.  I could picture my mother saying "If you don't have anything nice to say.....

 

[richoso1]

next time around, tell her to put up or shut up by going for a throwdown...

I would have said your right I get these for the dogs.  Maybe the less people we can get to buy ribs the cheaper they will be for us.

That's the best answer yet!  Show and tell is the best way. But from experience there are always gonna be a few that know better. Personally I boil my hamburgers while in the bun. Keep up the good work..............

Maybe you should have said " You just need to know the secret, the secret grandma taught me".   Every woman has a phenomenal curiosity about secrets.  Her eyes would have gotten big, she would have pushed up against you and asked what grandma taught you.  She would have been happy knowing you love your grandma, and she couldn't have said that a man knows how to cook ribs better than a women.   You could have drawn it out as long as you want, driving her crazy the entire time.

You just got to learn how to mess with people.

You done good Ray.  I wouldn't worry about it.  She's clearly a sexist. Ha ha!  

 

[meateater]

Did she smell like smoke? I mean of the hardwood kind!

This is my kind of crowd.  She probably leaves the membrane on as well.

She does that because it will keep the ribs afloat in the boiling water... otherwise she might need need a man to bring them up from the bottom.

Poor lady never had any good ribs, she doesn't know any better. 

My ma (83) stopped over today, so I offered her some leftover pulled pork. As I was getting ready to heat it up, she tells me to put some water on it first. Poor lady, she thought all pork was dry.

Sounds like a very normal day in the life of a meat manager out managing his meatcase... lol!
 

 

[rio_grande]

That was funny Pops,,, I have actually seen stuff like that happen.

Regardless, I have people tell me all the time, brisket is tough and fatty, ribs are rubbery and ya gotta put alot of sauce on them, pulled pork comes out of a tub not a pork butt...

And we all know done properly none of that is true.
