The Quiz: What is NOT a type of pork rib for barbecue?
Baby back
Spare ribs
St. Louis-style
Flanken ribs
Flanken-style short ribs are beef, while the other, more popular types of ribs for barbecue are pork ribs. Baby back and spare ribs are two of the most-used styles for barbecue. The baby back cut gets its name not from a baby pig but from its size — they are shorter than spare ribs. St. Louis-style ribs are especially popular in the American South, and are a meatier cut of spare ribs that feature different trimming and preparation techniques.
The correct answer to this quiz is Flanken ribs.
