They are all much of a muchness.... so long as you like the type that a toothless pensioner could gum-off then you'll be fine.

We think Waitrose are the best so far, then Co-op and Morrison, then Asda, Lidl and Aldi bringing up the rear.
Haven't tried Sainsbury or M&S yet.

Aldi.

Wrap them fully in foil put them in the oven for the time on the packet.

Open the foil put the bbq sauce on them and back in the oven for another 5 or 10 mins.

Are they the pre-cooked type? Don't think I've seen any other than raw ribs in there.

As for the others, they've always seemed much of a muchness to me. I tend to go for the Aldi ones as they're the cheapest.

You put them in the oven for 45 mins then add the BBQ sauce for a further 10 mins.
They are in the fridge section.

We have also had the beef ribs from Costco and they are also nice, again in the fridge section.

in the fridge, nexto to the other fresh chilled meats/burgers. the ribs seem to be the same at every supermarket the only difference being price. you can get them with smoked bbq or sweet bbq sauces. the rarer one has no sauce but instead has a chili powder for dusting on. (which i prefer)

I know it’s beyond Council but farm foods do (certainly did) 3 for £10 ribs in assorted flavours and they were blooming delicious.

It was next door to the gym that’s why I went honest!

This was tail end of last year may have changed.

I would say Costco is as council as farmfoods.
Have you seen the state of some of the clientele?

Any particular reason you want that type? Just you could achieve similar results wrapping some normal ones in foil for a couple of hours, then uncover and based with sauce till it goes tacky.

That method works well in advance too, taken them down the beach next day to BBQ.

You are living in a different planet.

Costco food is excellent, Farmfoods is akin to Iceland.

These, without a doubt. I'm gutted I no longer live near a Waitrose so have tried other brands, none compare.
