Nothing to do with mustard. Just the cut of the rib. The St Louis cut is the sparerib trimmed up nice and neat.

I like that bit they trim off for st louis style. Slow-cooked spare ribs for me. Don't like St Louis style.

Baby Back ribs are for people who don't know how to bbq.

Me neither. Haven't eaten at any fast food joint in 10 years and over 30 for McDees. Never had a McRib and my guts thank me for it.

"The McRib consists of a restructured boneless pork patty shaped like a miniature rack of ribs"

No thanks. I make my own sausage. Its not "restructured into a pork patty shaped like a miniature rack of ribs" so their food scientists have one up on me there.

The grocery equivalent were “pork patties” that were probably more than 50% grain filler. Together with a syrupy sauce, this was more candy than a square meal.

The casing is important. What do you use? (There is only really one good answer - Naturlamb condoms)

Jimmy Dean,

They add natural flavor? 5 bucks a pound.

Some call the lower section Picnic. I made a Picnic Ham once. It turned out OK.

They have bone in pork butt on sale down at Chef'Store. $1.49 lb. I should have grabbed some when I was there the other day. Now I'm thinking of going back.

The store brands led with cornmeal iirc.
