Ribs
Table manners for eating ribs. Spareribs are the thin end of pork ribs from which most of the meat is cut away.
- The meat that remains on the rib is difficult to cut from the bone, so the bone is held with the fingers of one hand while the meat is eaten.
- Because spareribs are served with sauce, they are messy to eat and are served only at informal meals (often with a bib).
