Thanks for checking, Scott. So we're all agreed on where spare ribs come from? - as shown here: http://priccoli.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/446px-America...

hate to shoot myself in the foot...but I am now inclined to rescind my answer and agree with Maria, I chatted with a Czech butcher here in Zlin and his description of just where this cut of beef/pork is matches the simple "spare rib": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spare_ribs
p.s. @ Maria, I just planted about 20 Beros "Goat horn pepper plants"! I'll let you know what heat they reach :)

Thanks, everyone. There may be some problems of definition here... "Spare ribs" (as suggested by Maria) came to mind, though I tend to think of spare ribs as being separate ribs (separate rather than in a slab), because that's the way I've seen them in Chinese restaurants in the UK.
