Talk:Standing rib roast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
prime rib is not from the central cow rib called prime rib. It is a rib roast and the name "prime rib" comes from the grade "prime". To be a "prime rib" the cut use to have to be a "prime" grade, now days it just refers to the rib roast in a generic fashion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.91.116.127 (talk • contribs) .
- The reference I've cited in the article disagrees about the "prime" (grade) origin. MCB 22:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- The reference links to an unrelated page on barbecue. All references I find say prime rib must be prime. My butcher in Ohio, says he cannot legally sell prime rib that is choice. This controversy should be clarified.76.189.112.51 (talk) 05:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- The USDA Policy Book reference states, "PRIME RIB OF BEEF OR STANDING BEEF RIB ROAST FOR PRIME RIB: These products do not have to be derived from USDA prime grade beef." You might want to point your Ohio butcher to that document. The CBBQ source (which I didn' add) seems to have changed their URL scheme, so I have removed that reference; it's less authoritative in any case. --MCB (talk) 18:50, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup and page move
In response to the cleanup tag, I did a rewrite with sources, added a properly-licensed image, and cleaned up the external links.
I also moved the page to Standing rib roast in accordance with Wikipedia naming guidelines. "Prime rib" is a colloquial and regional usage, but since it is well known, the automatic redirect will serve people who are looking for this article under that name. MCB 22:13, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- That picture is more than unappealing. Maybe an uncooked pic would be better? (not that it really matters;) --24.205.251.41 02:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- I replaced the image with a somewhat better one of the same slice of prime rib. I'll look for an uncooked one of a whole roast as well. --MCB 04:30, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
- Better! Do you have bunch of pictures of steaks lying around or something? ;) I could go for some prime rib right about now... --24.205.251.41 05:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
