Cook the Issue 2010: Cornmeal and Green Peppercorn Crusted Spareribs

Pielove writes: Wow, that is a lot for green peppercorns. Do you ever mail order spices? I really like The Spice House-- I go to the Chicago store, but they have an online presence (http://www.thespicehouse.com/). 1 oz green peppercorns for $2.89. If you are ever in Chicago, check out the store-- the smell is amazing!

Anyway, enough about that, thanks for trying the ribs-- I may give it a go, since I have the peppercorns already! Posted: 5:05 pm on June 29th

Needless to say that's all I used in the recipe! Overall I think people liked the chili-root beer recipe better. I don't eat pork (other than bacon) so can't offer a personal opinion.
