Pork baby back and pork loin (back) ribs are the same thing, cut from the upper loin part of the rib cage, spares from the lower part.
Like Robert said, the best ones are the ones you like best.
No matter the name given them, or size, or weight, they're both the same cut.I thought Loin back ribs weighed more than 2lbs and baby backs weighed less, like 1 3/4 lbs?
I know when I see them side by side, baby backs are smaller, hence the name.

That is funny!Bob I've had some folks tell me they won't touch spare ribs but love St Louis ribs..

Touche Tim.
But I've seen small ones labeled loin ribs, and larger ones labeled baby backs.
Riddle me this, do St Louis spare ribs have to be from St Louis pigs?
