My task, as your principal instructor in pathology, will be to teach you (1) the common ways the body fails, (2) the common ways the body responds to injury, (3) the common diseases, and (4) how to reason about disease. Pathology's contribution to your grade-point average and licensure exam score is important.
Loin Back Ribs: This is the popular cut that is from the part of the ribs towards the piggyâs back (the top of the rib cage closest the loin of the pig). Baby Back Ribs: Baby Back Ribs are just loin back ribs that are from smaller market weight hogs, rather than sows. I have heard some suggest that only slabs less than 1 3/4 lbs are baby backs. Whatevs. Spare Ribs: Spare ribs are closer to the belly (mmm, pork belly).
Decide what kind of ribs you want to grill. The 2 most popular types are baby back ribs and spare ribs, but there are significant differences between the 2 cuts. Baby back ribs come from the top of the rib cage. They range in length from 3 inches (7.6 cm) to 6 inches (15.2 cm) and are meatier than spare ribs.
