If cooked slowly, you will get a lovely tender roasting joint.

Thats the recipe I was looking at. Should take around 3 hours.

Cost us £40, just got back from holiday and was fed up with eating poor dishes. House account was up due to us been away for a week so thought i'd treat us to a fore rib.

I'll post some picture when its cooked. Any other ideas on how best to prep/cook it would be appreciated

Just the top parts of the Rib otherwise it wouldn't fit in the oven! Bone still in the joint so all the goodness is still there

So annoying when it's been boned.

I do prefer it with the full bone on , but it simply wouldn't of fitted it the oven. Still the ribs etc left on.

Honey roasted carrots are been prepped as I type :cool:

How can a pint cost a tenner?

In Paris pretty easy trust me.

I've just dared to look in the oven and I can confirm it smells and looks awesome. I 'll chuck a picture up once it is out of the oven

It's the size of a child! How did it taste?

Superb, was cheap compared to online places. Had a nice lining of fat through it to keep it moist. No to much mind. Cooked perfectly for how we like it. Must a slight bit of pink. In the middle.

It worked out at about £4 per meal which isn't bad IMO

And pork isn't too far behind, with some nice crackling & apple sauce.

Pork is on the menu for this Sunday yum yum
