The term ''ribs'' usually refers to the less meaty part of the [[meat chop|chop]]s, often cooked as a slab (not cut into separate ribs). They can be [[roast|roasted]], [[grilling|grilled]], or [[Smoker|smoked]]. A set of ribs served together (3-4 or more), is known as a rack (such as ''a rack of ribs''). In [[American cuisine]], ''ribs'' usually refers to [[barbecue]] [[pork ribs]], which are served with various barbecue sauces. They are served as a slab of meat which diners customarily tear apart by hand, then gnaw the meat from the bone. Slow roasting or barbecuing for as much as 10-12 hours creates a tender finished product. ==See also== *[[Pork ribs]] *[[Short ribs]] *[[Spare ribs]] *[[Galbi]] ==Gallery== <gallery> Image:CountryStyleRibs.JPG|Barbecue Country Style Ribs Image:LondonOntarioRibFest2006.JPG|A cook barbecues ribs at the 2006 Rib-Fest in London, Ontario </gallery> {{meat-stub}} [[Category:Cuts of meat]] [[Category:American cuisine]] [[ja:ばら肉]]
