Answers: What's the difference between the two?

I believe that country-style ribs come from closer to the spine of the pig where there's more meat and fat - closer to being a pork chop. Regular/short ribs come from farther down the rib where meat is thinner. A lot of people, myself included, think the 'spare' ribs closer to the tips are more flavorful.

Short Ribs, as the name implies, are the shortest ribs on the cow. Their pork counterpart are spare ribs. In relation, Country ribs are the longer, meatier ribs, closer to the breastplate. Although these thend to have more meat, they also tend to have more fat.

I always thought country style were the ones with no bones?
