I am from the South, have lived in the North, now live in the Midlands and have never heard of bacon ribs. Are they just pork spare ribs or are they cured in some way?

I assume they are cured - they are like pork ribs, but taste like bacon.

OMG they are divine, slow cooked, meat just falls off the bone.

ooh, I'm not sure I've had dry cured ones - it says roast or bbq them, whereas I've always had them slowly simmered (as a bacon joint is). I like the sound of the dry cured ones though - might give them a try!
