Tapster Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hi, and I hope you're all managing in these trying times! As a new hobby in lockdown, I've been trying to BBQ meat 'low and slow', as the Texans say. Results have been encouraging so far, with no cremated disasters. I think the key is that if you cook at a relatively low temperature, things don't go wrong too fast! Anyway, I cannot find a decent rack of ribs anywhere. I can now see why so few local bars and restaurants serve decent-size ribs; they all get theirs from Makro. The cut of 'ribs' that they sell in heaps at Makro, are technically ribs, because there are ribs in them, but they are not a rack, like a row of soldiers, and they're never more than a few inches long. There's plenty of meat, but no long ribs. I'm wondering: If I ask them, will the butchers/servers at Makro, butcher me some ribs to my specifications? If not, where can I go to get a proper rack of ribs: cheap, untrimmed, but actual long baby back or spare ribs?? Thanks for any advice. ????

Pilotman Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I am surprised at your post. Our local Big C Extra , Tesco Extra and Macro all have ribs for sale. Marinated correctly they are excellent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapster Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 Mr Moo had just what I was looking for. Their racks are approx 5-600g each, a reasonable serving for one. They can get you bigger ones if you ask. It's 250 THB/kg, but they are good ribs and don't need any trimming, just the removal of the thin membrane on the back. Makro 'ribs' are approx 160 THB/kg, so a lot cheaper. However, they're not really a rack of ribs, more a slab of meat/small rib/cartilage mixture (taste OK though), and you lose 20% weight after trimming, so let's say 200 THB/kilo after trimming. For a BBQ where the appearance of the ribs matters, it might be worth going to Mr Moo, but for everyday home BBQ, I'll be happy with Makro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
