Saw these at the grocery store today and I was intrigued.
Bought a small pack and coated them in rub and threw them in the oven low and slow. They are not ready yet so no report as to how they taste.

I wish I would have taken a before one. It is a small slab with cross hatching on the top.

Boneless ribs like boneless wings…or actual ribs with the bones taken out?

I don't know that is why I was asking

at $3.99 a pound it is not an expensive experiment

Is it chopped/pressed like a McRib?

It did not look pressed or formed. It was definitely a slab of pork. Could be shoulder maybe

Certainly looked like a mcrib when cooked

Tastes like pork chop or maybe ribs. I did not cook as low and slow as I usually do ribs since it was a small piece/experiment so hard to tell.

We are actually having gumbo for dinner.

I feel like as a general rule, when given the option between a bone in version of something and a boneless version, you should always choose bone in.

If they're anything like the ones we sell in the market I work at, they'll be from the pork loin. Essentially, just a loin that's been cut in half horizontal (ending with a top half and bottom half), then just sliced across making sure not to cut through.

Yeah I was thinking this is along the line of “country style ribs”

Tasted like loin so that would make perfect sense. It was a slab not individual like country style boneless ribs.

Give me bones. They’re a flavor enhancement.

My local Brookshires sells these. But they’re packaged cut up like country style ribs. I’ve always wondered what they are. I’ve always thought loin, but they seem to have a little more fat on them. I buy them to put in my pastalaya.

I know. I just call them country style ribs instead of “cut up Boston butt”

Agreed

Some exceptions would be chicken breast if you aren't going to deep fry and I prefer salmon to have the bones removed

But for something like ribs give me the bones. It's something to hold it by and it gives more flavor.
