spare ribs are on top of the rib cage chest baby back r on the back and short ribs are cut against the grain. Duly noted. Additionally helpful information would be that back ribs, be them beef or pork baby back ribs, are called so because the literally come from the back of either the cow or pig. These can often have a plumper meat to bone ratio. As is my understanding, beef finger and pork spare ribs are physically more frontal. St. Louis are just trimmed pork spare ribs Beef short ribs are cut against the direction of the ribs so one length of them features evenly spaced cross sections of ribs that run it's width
Baby back ribs are pork- Baby back ribs (a.k.a. loin ribs, back ribs, or Canadian back ribs) are taken from the top of the rib cage between the spine and the spare ribs, below the loin muscle. The designation "baby" indicates the cuts are from market weight hogs, rather than sows. They have meat between the bones and on top of the bones, and are shorter, curved, and sometimes meatier than spare ribs. "Spareribs" or "side ribs", are taken from the belly side of the rib cage, below the section of back ribs and above the sternum (breast bone). Spare ribs are flatter and contain more bone than meat. Beef short ribs are similar to spare ribs but cut from the cow not the hog.
Not much. Short ribs are cut horizontally across the bottom of the beef rib cage, so a cut of short ribs will normally include 3 of 4 ribs in the meat. Flat ribs tend to be cut vertically along one of the front ribs. However, a thick cut of short ribs and a wide cut of flat ribs would essentially be the same thing.
I believe the Americans use the flat rib cut more and the British use the short ribs, though I'm not sure.
