Jargon buster: ribs

Short ribs These are meaty beef ribs and are generally served as a single-boned portion.

Baby back These are the most tender of the pork ribs. They’re squatter than spare ribs and normally come as a rack or as more than a single-boned portion.

Spare ribs Cut from the bones attached to the pork belly. You’ll normally have a rack of these as one portion.
