BJ's in my area is now selling only trimmed, "ST. Louis cut spare ribs. NOT!!!
Seems they want to increase the bottom line on pork ribs so now what they have in the Swift Premium cryo pack is two "racks" of trimmed ribs. Unfortunately what they have done is to lightly trim off a small amount of rib tips and then simply cut the remainder in half. You end up with small bones and cartilage in one rack and a terribly cut pseudo rack for the other. For this they are charging a premium price too. $2.99 a pound. Local grocery store has full spares for 2.39. I bought the first package against my better judgement and will not make that mistake again. I did go to the store and complain and was told that I was not the first. Most likely not the last either! You have been warned!
