Pork ribs are much smaller in Europe

Continuing on my journey of market stories... I decided to buy some pork ribs to make some pork rib soup. I pointed at what was pork ribs, and asked the butcher to cut the ribs piece by piece. He obliged, but when he cut them each piece looked like a pork belly, so I asked him to stop and again asked for pork ribs. I realized that I was confused for two reasons. First, the rib was tiny and second, the cut included the belly too. I still bought it and made my soup.

I'm thankful I can find ginger at the local supermarket, without ginger my soup wouldn't taste right at all!

Also, I've mostly finished planning my trip to Portugal next week. We're gonna be on the move for pretty much the entire week, but I'm excited for all the places we're going. Our plans include seven cities in seven days and a cork farm tour!
