back ribs
Curved meat portions
Back ribs are a cut of pork from the upper portion of the ribcage, where the ribs meet the spine.
They're meatier and more tender than spare ribs, making them popular for grilling and barbecue.
The term distinguishes them from spare ribs, which come from the belly side: I'll smoke these baby back ribs low and slow.
