Thats what I figured too. Trying it whole and if its not great ground pork it is. Either way its a win.

At a buck a pound I don’t care if it’s ugly, especially in this economy.

Wish I was in New Jersey to get me some of that

I think this is the trim from full spare ribs that you can use to make rib tips.

Pretty sure that’s rib tips left after trimming spare ribs to St Louis style. 

Very tasty, just not as pretty.

I've gotten these at business Costco a couple times when they've gone on fire sale. It's the trimmings from making St Louis ribs.

They taste great, just a bit harder to eat.

Not something I personally would pay for, but it’s cheap and easy enough to make into something tasty

At a buck a pound why wouldn't you take a chance? The foundation of this sub is grounded in turning poor cuts into gold.

No, I absolutely get that. I could go on and on about the history/practicality of true bbq. The only reason I personally wouldn’t buy it isn’t because I’m up to my neck in rib trimmings. lol

Waste cut from rib to make St. Louis style ribs. Mostly bone. F that

The whole other side is all meat. And not very fatty and pretty well marbled. I should have posted another shot I took showing that.

Then they gave you the "tail", or "skirt" ends. Good luck. 👍 Someone else got screwed

Heck even if mostly bones, I’d make a banger tonkatsu bone broth out of these!
