I don't think I've ever actually eaten a rib, myself, but I happily
claim to have eaten some damn fine ribs in my time.

Presumably, it's the intercostal muscles, which are the ones we are
eating when we say we're having ribs.

(Also: the diagrams of the intercostals in my anatomy textbook are
disturbingly appetizing.)
