Rib

Pork rib bones—after meat is trimmed for spare ribs or baby backs—still carry meat scraps, cartilage, and collagen for stock and for chewing snacks when roasted sticky. They are smaller than beef ribs and sweeten a broth quickly. Simmer for clear or cloudy stock, or glaze and roast as bar snacks. Smoke leftover bones to perfume beans. Strain carefully for fine sauces; leave cloudy for rustic soups. Once flavour is spent, compost or discard rather than endless reboiling.
