They didn't seem that bad to be honest. Not had them in years and must admit, I enjoyed them
I came across some Bacon Ribs in the cheap section tonight, I've never heard of bacon ribs before???
Anyway on the packet it suggests roasting which sounded a bit of a faff and I reckoned a scrawny rib wouldn't benefit from the experience.
So online I found a bunch of Liverpuddlians suggesting the correct way was to boil these things. Apparently this is a local dish.
So I chucked them into a casserole dish with some butter, added onions and let it sit for a bit.
In the fridge was a bag of carrots, baby potatoes, cabbage. Chucked all that in, added some green lentils and some scotch broth mix, bayleaf and random herbs.
Simmered for 2 hours.
I've now got a massive cassorle which looks good for at least 5 meals and I reckon it's cost me around £1.60 to make. Even by my standards that's a bit of a bargain. Tastes really nice too, so I'll be on the lookout for bacon ribs in the future.

Bacon ribs are FANTASTIC. My grandma's bacon ribs are my favourite thing ever. Yeah, she just boils them by themselves for about 2 hours. Water needs changing halfway through or they can be too salty.
Never heard of it being a liverpudlian thing. I'm sure my grandma would insist it was Irish

King prawns, scallops, shallots, lotus roots and noodles with ginger, coconut and lemongrass sauce.
I never had lotus root before, I'm glad I decided to try it out, the crunchiness of it really adds something.

Chicken wings with buffalo sauce, onion rings and corn with pepper and butter.
Charred corn tacos and taco seasoning - recipe here. Fool proof and a good veggie option.
weve got a local one called 'the beijing' that cooks the food fresh off the menu for around that price, not been myself as my mates reckon its not that great.
i tried Cosmo last year and that was quite interesting, all kinds of asian food under one roof. http://www.cosmo-restaurants.co.uk/our-menu.php
