Williams RIBS - ehhh !.........
......I was chatting to a pal of mine last night who has just returned from the boat show. He asked me for my opinion on "Williams RIBS" and I had to admit, through gritted teeth, that I hadn't even heard of them !

Has anyone else or has he got his facts messed up ? I did a web search but could only find recipies for bbq ribs by Welsh butchers !
