In prepping for the game on Sunday, went to Sam's and got a pack of Smithfield Pork Loin Back Ribs- 7.92lbs for a pack of three racks. Pull them out to clean and remove membrane (yes I am an advocate) and much to my surprise- there was no membrane. In my 15 years of buying ribs, I have never seen any sold without the membrane. Not that I actually enjoy the process of removing but made me wonder- has anyone experienced this?
BTW- menu for the game: 3 racks of BBs, 8lb smoked beef rib roast sliced thin for sandwiches, 5lbs of chicken wings- grilled with various sauces, and a pork picnic- browned on the grill, stabbed with garlic and rubbed with adobo and then wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked in the oven for 9 hours. And oh yeah- some sides.
