bookers ribs

[keith157]

The best Cash & Carry I've seen was when my mate in Wales took me to Castell Howell. The only downsides I could see were:
1. It's a looooonnnnggggggg drive.
2. It took him 6 weeks while they checked he really was a member of the NFU & had a proper farm/small holding apparantly a flock of 70 isn't proper farming. (you can be a B&B, pub etc. but they still do the checks)
3. Very little in the way of processed foods but I have NEVER seen such good quality meat at such low prices. Oh and there's an abbatoir almost in spitting distance.

sounds just like Booker's

Made some of the baby backs from booker tonight (in the oven). Very nice indeed and tender. A decent amount of meat, and tasty. The fact that they were individually frozen made it easy to make a few racks with no hassle.

Just put some rub on them, cooked at 140c covered for about 2.5 hours, then put some sauce on and cooked uncovered.

Slatts, thanks for all the info and work you have put into sharing this with us, I am going to give it a go myself this weekend!

Hey Sethh1970

No worries just glad I could help somebody out for a change.
Good luck.

Got some German meaty ribs at the weekend. Not that impressed with them and was a bit of a pain that they were all stuck together, but working out at £3.40 seem to be on a par with my butchers.

I've never bought the 'meaty' ones - what is the different between those and the german ribs?

Where is the extra meat?

Where is the extra meat?

That’s what I thought. I presumed the extra meat would have been between the ribs!! This would have allowed for easier cutting and better presentation in competitions boxes.
