King Rib

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

King Rib is a popular fast food item, particularly in the United Kingdom and Scotland. It is a type of sausage that is breaded and deep-fried, often served in a hot dog bun. The King Rib is not made from rib meat, but from pork trimmings, which are shaped to resemble a rib.

History[edit | edit source]

The King Rib has its roots in the Scottish tradition of deep-frying food. It is a staple in many chip shops across the country, and is often served with chips and mushy peas. The exact origin of the King Rib is unclear, but it has been a popular fast food item in Scotland for many decades.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The King Rib is made from pork trimmings, which are ground and shaped to resemble a rib. The meat is then breaded and deep-fried until it is golden brown. It is typically served in a hot dog bun, and may be topped with various condiments such as ketchup, mustard, or brown sauce.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are several variations of the King Rib, including the Spice King Rib, which is seasoned with a blend of spices before being breaded and fried. Some chip shops also offer a BBQ King Rib, which is topped with barbecue sauce.
