Someone was trying to describe a cut of pork he saw at Best Stop last week. He said it was like the whole back of the big including part of the ribs.

what cut would this be? And if you had one, how would you cook it?

Rib roast most likely. Just like on a cow.

it's called a rib rack. not a "rack of ribs". it's what us Cajuns put in a Cajun microwave when we want some meat/ribs/and cracklins all at once.

Maybe a saddle of pork.

Until you posted the pic I had a totally different idea of what you meant it to be. What your pic shows is a saddle of the pig.


ETA the next time confronted with this cut the use a knife to cut the external fat diagonally to end up with diamonds on the cap. The fat will come out very much like cracklins(use the knife to separate the little morsels from the product) and baste the meat underneath it quite well too.

I smoked a pork rib roast Saturday and thought of this thread. Smoked 3 hours over some pecan, then put in a broiler pan, covered and slow rolled for another 2. I didn't take pics, but this is pretty much how the finished product looked. Turned out awesome.

I've gotten that same cut from there. They have also called it the pork backbone. I cooked it in a gravy. Not bad.
