Ribs (food)

BBQ ribs, short for barbecued ribs, are a popular dish consisting of ribs, typically pork or beef, that are slow-cooked and seasoned with a variety of spices and sauces. The cooking process often involves smoking the ribs over low heat for several hours, resulting in tender, flavorful meat that easily falls off the bone. In Hebrew, BBQ ribs can be translated as צלעות ברבקיו (Tzalot Barbeque). In Spanish, the term is costillas a la parrilla, while in French, it is côtes de porc barbecue. The dish is a staple in many cuisines, particularly in the United States, where regional variations abound. For instance, Memphis-style ribs are known for their dry rub, while Kansas City-style ribs are famous for their sweet and tangy sauce. BBQ ribs are often served at gatherings and events, highlighting their role in social and cultural traditions.
