The membrane theory

[DarqMan]

I'm with you Hal, it doesn't bother me either, but it comes off so easily when you take them off you can still remove it for a better presentation.

I'm with Hal, until recently, I had never heard of removing the membrane.  It was just that mighty tasty papery thang on the inside of them ribs.  Put a piece of that between your cheek and gum and it would put a smile on my face!
