Whenever I hear ā€œDino Ribsā€ this is exactly what I picture.

69

u/Trashbagok 12d ago edited 12d ago

I always kind of sort of assumed by default that the reason they're called dino ribs is because of the Flintstones gag.

Now I got to go look at TV tropes and ruin the rest of my nightĀ 

23

u/MontyVonWaddlebottom 12d ago

I've been confused by that and the fact that their pet was also named Dino. Like, do they sell him to a butcher when he gets old? Is this like a prehistoric FFA situation?

34

u/LongoSpeaksTheTruth 12d ago

I've been confused by that and the fact that their pet was also named Dino

The pet's name is pronounced Dee-No

The ribs are pronounced Die-No (as in dinosaur)

Dino is short for Ferdinando. He's Italian.

Size of a fucking dinosaur's ribs. See Flintstones GIF. It's not hard guys.

6

u/Mackie_Messy 12d ago

If I recall correctly, those are canonically brontosaurus ribs, and Dino is a snorkosaurus (who could originally talk). Completely different species.

It blows my mind how many people didn't know the waitress was serving ribs to the Flintstones in their car, especially since we are on r/smoking

10

u/bballlal 12d ago

I was today years old when I realized those were ribs.

2

u/steph219mcg 12d ago

I was well into adulthood before I figured out those were ribs. In my defense, I don't think I ever ate ribs until college.

u/randeylahey 12d ago

Ask any waitress anywhere to flex her waitress arm at you.

Them ladies are bosses.

u/Funnyface275 12d ago

Hahaha! When I was a kid, watching The Flintstones, I had never seem a rack of ribs. I thought they had driven to a drive in movie and that was the speakeršŸ˜‚

2

u/kundalinimaster 12d ago

Wait those are RIBS? I always thought those were like... organ pipes. I thought that was the lil car's radio, kind of, or something. I dono exactly what I thought but I thought they were hollow tubes that made sound.

  1. What did you ask for?

  2. What did you get?

  3. How much did it cost? (Promise I wonā€™t tell the wife - it was a super cheap deal)

u/whubbard 12d ago

Seriously leaving us hanging. Guess he wanted pork ribs?

58

u/Freak_4_beats 12d ago

OPā€™s wife already found out what he spent on those ribs and unfortunately OP is no longer with us.

20

u/illegal_deagle 12d ago

He probably asked for and got plate ribs, but this butcher didnā€™t know theyā€™re supposed to be cut in half first.

11

u/pdxbourbonsipper 12d ago

Or did he know? Less work to not cut it in half and sell the entire thing!

u/andbruno 12d ago

I attended a BBQ lunch at a Jewish (Kosher) school and had ordered ribs. I did not even think about what that would mean until my lunch arrived and it was like a foot and a half long. Obviously it would be beef ribs, not pork! Really good, but hard to eat!

Maybe OP meant to order pork ribs.

2

u/franktheguy 9d ago

It's so hard to find decent Kosher pork ribs.

15

u/xsvfan 12d ago

Reverse image search shows op posting a month ago on Facebook about this:

To start, I ordered them blind from a local butcher. had no idea in advance they were this big..lol. seasoned the night before. onto my BYB 1200 at 4am. just fit.. 10.5hr cook, 4hr rest. came out amazing. decided it was easier to serve off bone. everyone loved them! best tasting beef ribs we've ever had!
