King Rib

King Rib is an item of food commonly served in fish and chips shops in Scotland and Northern England. Despite its name, it is actually a sweetened patty of minced pork that is fried or deep-fried [1] and often available as a "supper" combination meal, i.e. with chips. It is popular in Scotland to purchase a single king rib along with two buttered rolls, splitting the rib accordingly.
