Did you know that spareribs are not actually made from spare ribs? In fact, the term "spareribs" refers to the cut of meat from the belly section of a pig. So the next time someone says they're serving spare ribs, you can impress them with your newfound knowledge!
The term 'sparerib' originates from the combining of two words: 'spare' and 'rib'. Spare refers to the idea that these ribs were considered spare, or extra, as they were not used as part of the main cuts of meat. Rib, of course, refers to the bone structure that these cuts of meat come from. It is said that the term 'sparerib' was first used in 1769.
In the 1800s, barbecue culture began to rise in popularity, particularly in the Southern United States. Spareribs quickly became a staple of this barbecue culture, as they were affordable and could feed a large number of people. The slow-cooked, smoky flavor of the spareribs made them a favorite among barbecue enthusiasts.
During the 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age, spareribs gained even more popularity. Jazz clubs and speakeasies became the gathering places of the time, and spareribs were often served as a delicious finger food to accompany the lively music and socializing. Spareribs became synonymous with the fun and indulgence of the era.
In the 1950s, spareribs solidified their place in American culture. Backyard barbecues and family gatherings often featured spareribs as a centerpiece, cooked low and slow to tender perfection. Spareribs became a symbol of American comfort food and a favorite dish for many families across the country.
Today, spareribs are enjoyed around the world in various culinary traditions. From the flavorful Chinese-style char siu spareribs to the smoky and spicy Korean-style galbi spareribs, these delectable ribs have found their way into a wide range of international cuisines. Spareribs continue to be a beloved dish that brings people together to enjoy good food and good company.
