this is silly. ive been a cook since i was about 15 or so. ive met people of all colors that can cook or cant. no one group of humans are the ultimate masters of culinary arts. how you like your pig or cow done is ultimately up to you.

that said, those ribs look fine. i like pork ribs more than beef ribs personally

I've been barbecuing for 20 years at this point. The way I learned was that if the meat falls off the bone like that, it's overcooked. Ribs should have a bit of pull to it. Not too much because then it's undercooked and too tough. In my experience, when ribs, both pork and beef, are cooked like old breh in the video, the meat tends to be mushy. And ribs are supposed to have a slight bite to them. But again, this is how I learned and these are lessons going back to my grandfather, who learned from his people. I can't speak what's being taught and experienced elsewhere.

The fall off the bone is a good catch phrase and looks good on social media but I’ve never really cared for them. Also don’t care much for the big Dino ribs either.

Perfect.
Can't undercook swine.

What we really need to understand is why some prefer bloody meat :mjpls:
Those are beef ribs in the video. And cooking it less than fall off the bone doesn't mean it's bloody. Do you know how long you have to cook beef ribs to get it like those in the video? There is no way you are approaching undercooked status.

Yup, there's a sweet spot of cook time for ribs, ideally before they start falling off the bone. Ribs supposed to have a little bite to them, cook them until they "fall off the bone" and you start to get that pot roast texture. You shouldn't be struggling to pull the meat, but they shouldn't be falling off with zero effort either.

That said, I'm still smashing a plate of these ribs if they were in front of me. No point getting angry over how someone else likes their food, I'm just cooking mine to a different texture than these.
