Riblets shouldn’t be confused with ‘rib tips’, which actually come from the boneless strip of meaty tips that are trimmed off St Louis-style ribs. Riblets are different in that they come from the round bone ends of the rib rack, which are often discarded by butchers when trimming pork ribs for the sake of presentation.

A boneless loin roast is cut by removing the side ribs and layer of back fat. Ham, tenderloin, and hock & trotter in addition are a few more ideas to think about.
