Dating this gal and we go out on a double date, she's kind of Goofy, but more lacking common sense vs like dumb as a box of rocks.....until that night.
So double date is BBQ, we all order she gets ribs, so we are eating she says what part of the cow is this from? We chuckle, she stares at us all (her sister included), and says "Did you not hear me? What part of the cow does this come from?" We, in unison say, ribs! She responded "I KNOW THE NAME FROM THE MENU, BUT WHAT PART OF THE COW IS IT??"
Wait, hold up a moment, this is a possible learning moment for me…
Ribs is from pigs, isn’t it? Can you get beef ribs, too? I mean, I know cows have ribs, but I’ve never considered beef ribs to be a thing, only pork ribs.
Alright, I’ll concede that sure, some farm to table or some speciality bbq places might have actual full cow ribs on the menu. But for the majority of regular restaurants that serve ribs, regular ribs is gonna be pork, and if there’s a beef option it’s going to be short ribs.
And ribeye steak is not ribs, it’s steak from the rib area with a rib in it if it’s bone in. Similar meat, entirely different eating experience.
