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.
This is for the Beef Ribs. For Pork SpareRibs do the same way, for Pork Back Ribs cut back on the first cooking to about 1 hour, then proceed with the recipe. They will not take that 1 1/2 hour time to cook before you add the sauce. 1 hour add the sauce, then 30 min more.
