Supper was the main meal of each day. It was eaten near sunset. It consisted of vegetables, fruit, fish, and possibly honey cakes. Sugar was unknown to ancient Greeks, so natural honey was used as a sweetener. Fish was the main source of protein in the Greek diet. Beef was very expensive, so it was rarely eaten.
Also, the duration taken to boil pork ribs depends on their size. Small cuts of pork ribs would take only an hour to become tender, but larger pieces may take about three hours. The estimated time that pork ribs take to boil is about 50 minutes for around 6 pounds of pork ribs.
Place the ribs over medium heat. Cook bone-side down for about 30-40 minutes. The meat will be cooked almost through at the 30 minute mark (take a peek, you shouldn't see raw meat). Flip the slab over to brown the top.
