Smithfield ribs from walmart

[jtshoe]

Do not ever buy smithfield ribs from walmart, or anywhere else.. worst ribs ever. Saw on sale, didnt realize had solution in them .. tadte like ham on a stick. Terrible. Even though i like ham.. just ordered some cheshire pork from heritage farms.. my guesdd is itll be so good compared to anything ive had yet.

That's all my local SAMs sells. I'm ok with Smithfield's pork butts.

Butts maybe. Is there added solution. Brined like ham.. ribs were not good

If you know anyone - or buy a lot of meat- Costco is hands down the best meat supplier I've found in any grocery store. Quality meats- even prime steaks from
Time to time.

Pork is great- (tho not heritage)

The yearly membership pays for itself in $ saved buying protein their IMO.

funny i see this as im getting ready to do two season racks of smithfield baby backs to cook tomorrow. We dont ever ever ( did i mention ever) buy meat from walmart but the wife came home with the ribs tonight because they were mis priced at 80 cents each. So she figured what to hell lol

Any thoughts on how I can maybe make them at least edible lol

Hormel does exactly the same thing as Smithfield.  If you like dry ribs (no sauce), you have to go REAL light on the rub, or you end up with a mouthful of salty meat.  Thankfully my wife and kids like wet ribs, so a sweet sauce helps counter the salty enhancements.

I always buy Swifts Premium baby loin back ribs at Costco. They have some of the loin still attached, so they're very meaty. They already have the membrane removed, three racks in a Cryovac, very good taste and inexpensive. I've been using them for over five years and have never had a bad rib.

Give 'em a try, Joe. :grilling_smilie:
