Full Fledged Farker
Hi there
I am in an education process trying to get butcher's down this way to provide decent spares - lots and lots of challenges, the fundamental one being that they can get 20% more for pork belly than for decent spare ribs.
Anyway, can you give me your experience in the % reduction in weight when trimming regular 'spare' ribs to 'St Louis cut' ribs? Would there, on average, be a 20% reduction in weight (not saying loss, because you can use the trimmings)?
TIA.
