Etymology
The term 'sparer' in the context of saving or economizing originates from the Old English word 'spearian', meaning 'to spare' or 'to save'. This relates to the idea of preserving resources. The use of 'sparer' transitioned into meal contexts, particularly involving meat during the 19th century when specific cuts of pork ribs were becoming popular in various culinary practices. The term 'sparer rib' suggests a more frugal cut of meat as compared to other, more premium cuts, reflecting both its name and the cooking methods associated with it. As cooks explored barbecue techniques, spareribs gained prominence, especially in American cuisine, where flavors and cooking styles blended different cultural influences.
