Why are spare ribs called spare ribs!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
According to Charles Perry of the Los Angeles Times, "In 17th century England, spareribs were also called spear-ribs or even ribspare, a clear tipoff that this wasn't a native English word!. It was borrowed from the German rippespeer, which is smoked pork loin!."Www@FoodAQ@Com
