Pork ribs are a type of pork chop taken from a pig's ribcage. Together with barbecue sauce or another form of sauce, the meat and bones are sliced into manageable pieces and cooked by grilling, baking, or smoking.
The flesh itself has a rich taste, which is typical of muscles that receive greater workout. Although these muscles are harder, they become fall-off-the-bone tender when cooked gently.
