I have to say, when I saw the photos in the cache for today’s Sunday Gravy, I knew the Commentists were in for a real treat. WineWife has a Gochujang recipe for short ribs that will make you slap your mama. When she announces it is upcoming I immediately put in the order at the local butcher – none of that Costco bulk meat for this – and do whatever she asks on the day in question.

She makes extra sauce, because the fattiness of the ribs makes for an excellent drizzle on , well, anything. As Brother Right says, using it on wings will just open you up to newer & better flavour combinations in your life. The rib sauce makes them more sweeter than hotter, which suits me fine because I can’t handle the spices much anymore.

It’s not just a getting old thing; I never really could handle the heat. So, not being a fan of the fire down below, I’ve tended to avoid most spice when dining. But dishes like these have at least given me a chance to advance my palate.
