Everyone has tried [[Pork spare ribs|pork spare ribs]], well this is the man-sized version - I have adapted Jamie Oliver's "Daisy Mays barbecue [[Ribs]]" from Jamie's great "America book" (ISBN 0718154762).  We had similar ribs to this at Bodean's [[Barbecue]] Restaurant, by The Tower of London, after a [http://www.walks.com/London_Walks_Home/Saturdays_Walks/default.aspx#12939 Jack The Ripper walk] with some great friends of ours.

Ask your butcher for '[[beef short ribs]] from the plate', or [[Argentine ribs]]. You don't want back ribs as these are not the same.  I understand from talking to a butcher that this particular cut of [[beef]] is also known as 'Jacob's ladder'.

I've found it difficult to obtain [[beef short ribs]] from anywhere but a specialist butchers and even then, they needed to be ordered in advance.  Today, I was delighted to discover [[F. Conisbee specialist butchers]] had them in stock. 4 [[Argentine ribs]] for £21.04.  Robert cut them in half with the bandsaw, we'll have one half for New Years Eve and freeze the other.  I suspect there will still be left-overs!
