Although smoking does not always affect scores on smell-tests, it is widely believed to reduce sensitivity. A recent study at the University of Pennsylvania suggests that, contrary to popular belief, blind people do not necessarily have a keener sense of smell than sighted people.
In American cuisine, ribs usually refers to barbecue pork ribs, or sometimes beef ribs, which are served with various barbecue sauces. They are served as a rack of meat which diners customarily tear apart by hand, then eat the meat from the bone.
Beef Short Ribs. Beef short ribs are cut from the bottom end of the rib cage called the âplateâ or from the chuck area. The first area being the most tender. I do not recommend grilling beef short ribs since the meat is tough like brisket and can only be tenderized through a long, slow cooking process such as smoking. Be sure to trim all exterior fat before cooking. As an entree serve one pound of ribs per person.
