actually it takes 2 racks
Yes it is possible to get arthritic inflammation in the ribs.
the lungs are anterior to the ribs
You don't have to hit that hard at all. Ribs are fairly fragile, but it also depends on which rib and where you hit the rib. The bottom ribs are obviously easier to break than the top ribs. I broke my older sisters ribs when I was 12 years old( I'm the younger sister, not brother). That was before I had any Martial Arts training. Now that I know how, I try to avoid hitting people. You can do a surprising amount of damage to another person with just your hands. Peoples ribs are broken all the time just doing CPR. And that's pressure not impact.
The sternum, ribs 3-6 (3 on each side) and vertebra T 3-6 for a total of 10.
The breastbone (sternum) and the ribs are connected by cartilage to form the "thoracic cage" that covers the heart and lungs. It is not unusual for ribs to be fractured when using exterior compression on the heart, as is done in CPR.
12 whole racks of ribs
Figure that half a rack of baby back or St. Louis pork ribs per person is not enough, but a full rack is too much (well -- for some people). If you're using beef ribs, figure 3-4 large ribs per serving and you'll be safe. Id' go got 75 racks of baby backs, 60 racks of St. Louis. For beef, talk to the butcher -- I can't translate this into sides.
Racks of ribs are one of my favorite foods, so I eat them ( and compare) at many restaurants. I have seen the size vary from about 12 ounces to 2 pounds. This makes it difficult to answer your specific question and also I am confused by "minty people" . I guess this would better be asked of whomever is supplying these ribs.
15 pounds
All together you would need about 7.5 lbs. So it would not matter how many rump roast as long as they weighed 7.5 lbs in total.As to proper portions per person. 8 1/2 to 9lbs would be best should some people want seconds.Also you have to expect shrinkage during the cooking process.Hope this info helps ;)
That much food would feed at least 102 people.
You really cant answer that question it all depend on how big the slabs are and how hungry the people are
The number of slabs of ribs needed to feed 75 people depends on portion sizes and appetites, but a general guideline is about half a slab per person. This means you would need approximately 38 to 40 slabs of ribs to adequately feed 75 people, taking into account that some may eat less and others more. Additionally, serving side dishes can help stretch the meal further.
To feed 100 people with small short ribs, you'll typically need about 1/2 to 3/4 pound per person, depending on whether the short ribs are the main dish or part of a larger meal. This would translate to approximately 50 to 75 pounds of small short ribs. It's a good idea to consider sides and other dishes being served to adjust the quantity accordingly.
About 30 lbs of prime rib can feed 19 people. 1 lb of ribs doesn't have much meat on it. That's why you would give more than 1 lb to each person.
To feed 150 people, you typically need about 1/2 to 1 slab of ribs per person, depending on the serving size and whether other dishes are being served. This means you would need approximately 75 to 150 slabs of ribs. If serving other sides or proteins, you can lean towards the lower end of that range. Always consider the appetite of your guests and adjust accordingly.
To feed 12 people, you typically need about 1 to 1.5 pounds of spare ribs per person, depending on appetite and whether other dishes are served. This means you should aim for 12 to 18 pounds of spare ribs in total. It's always a good idea to have a little extra, especially if ribs are the main attraction of the meal. Consider the cooking method as well, as some shrinkage can occur during cooking.
