What is the origin of the term "Baby Back Ribs"?

Question

Details of why Baby Back Ribs are called this name and where did it come from?

Answer 1

Baby back ribs is a play on words. Baby meaning that the ribs are a smaller size and of course back is because of the position of where the ribs come from. When I was stationed in Germany I found out that Europeans don't eat ribs, they find it barbaric. Which was great for us Americans because their butchers would sell us a whole bag of ribs really cheap or even free.

The best thing that ever happened to a baby back.
Ingredients:
• 3 fat garlic cloves, peeled • 3 Tbs cider vinegar
• 1 Tbs kosher salt • 3 Tbs peanut oil
• 1 Tbs black mustard seeds* • 2 tsp ground hot pepper (I use chipotle*) - this will make the ribs spicy; add more or less to taste
• 12 juniper berries* • 3 slabs baby back ribs (1.5 to 2 lbs. each), membrane removed
• 1 Tbs coarsely ground black peppercorns
• 3 Tbs brown sugar

Preparation Directions:
• The rub is best made with a stone mortar & pestle, but a small food processor can be used.
• Mash the garlic and salt into a paste in the mortar. (The salt helps the garlic break down.)
• Add the juniper berries and mustard seeds, crushing them as thoroughly as possible with the pestle.
• Add remaining ingredients and stir well to blend.

*Available through spice catalogs such as Penzeys.

Cooking Directions:
• Work the rub into the ribs at least an hour before cooking. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate. These don't need to sit overnight, but can be rubbed 3-4 hours in advance.
• About 45 minutes before you plan to start cooking, place the ribs in the freezer (for maximum smoke penetration).
• Cook according to your desired method. I do them over direct heat (with hickory and apple for smoke), dome temp of around 250, in a rib rack.
• They usually take 3 to 3.5 hours. Midway through I rotate the rack, and flip the ribs if the end toward the coals is getting brown.
• Let them sit for 10 minutes before slicing.

Hope you enjoy these yummy ribs.
