Ok..so what's the answer to the question?

So, you know that leathery nuisance I'm talking about, don't you? It doesn't really bother me, but my guests might think I missed something in the preparation and not want to deal with it. Of course, I could serve Slawsa dogs to those folks.
Okay, I'll say we wait for Rummm to come back with another offer to see if he has an idea how to remove that Leather (I doubt it). Otherwise, I'll just pick up the bone and gnaw it off. That's another great thing about eating ribs - whether beef or pork.
Someone introduced an alternative plan, though. He said to take the meat off the ribs, chop it or pull it, and serve it on a bun. Kinda makes sense to do 'em that way if you aren't inclined to pick 'em up with your fingers.
