The Pros and Cons of eating ribs.

This has always been something that annoys me. Who was the first fagwa who said, hey, lets go eat pig intercostal muscle?

Point 1: How are you supposed to eat it?
Namely, the whole rib is covered in sauce. There is no instruction manual, and you just end up with messy hands. If the inventors intend you to eat it, why coat it with a viscous brown sauce, whilst not providing an adequate method of consumption?

I did hear my friend Elliot say: 'I lick the sauce off then eat the meat'.

Ok, but i believe the effort required to eat the rib is too much and outweighs the taste.




Point 2: Risks involved in eating said rib.
I have also noticed, that not only are they physically difficult and challenging to eat, there is a risk that needs to be pointed out. Think about it, you hold the rib horizontally, (unless your a queer) and it is covered in sauce. Here is a diagram of a catastrophe that put me off ribs for good.

Thats right, i dropped the rib and because it was covered in sauce, it left a long rolled print down my shirt.

Point 3: Mass to edibility ratio

Face it, there is always a tonne of bone, and practically no meat. I rest my case.
