OT Weird meat thing at store

I don't know what it is and this description sure didn't help!  I thought it was funny. Pretty sure it's chicken.

And I thought my local meat markets played free-n-loose with names.  That is so wrong ... on so many levels.  At least they were honest about the "Previously Frozen" part.   What's the address for the Guinness Record book folks ... it's a shoe-in for placing.

im thinking they are ribtips(belly side of ribs), opposite end of the rib from the riblet  (loin side of the rib)

I've seen those before from time to time. Never been able to figure out exactly what they are or how to cook them. Did it come home with you?

I think the bone is what confuses me - Serious Eats describes pork brisket as a 'substantial part of a boned out picnic ham' - which makes me think a bone would be odd.

I wanted to bring it home but my wife said if I can't identify it I can't serve it for dinner.  So we made burgers instead.

It does make you wonder though...why is there only chicken breast?  Other animals have boobs too right??

Buy a skin on pork belly of any size and you'll find out for sure.

One time Bi-Lo had "thick beef" on sale for $2.99 a pound.  It was fillet mignon.  I scooped that up fast.  I really only shop at publix now and they are normally pretty accurate.

I've been told the part you cut off for spare ribs is sometimes called pork brisket, but the only way to find out is buy it and see.

 Then what's the breast bone part for?  I may have to go back, buy this darn thing and cook it.

Tripes great. I always get my Pho with tendon, tripe and rare beef. Delicious.

I don't know....seems a bit much for mystery meat.

You know, sometimes, you just have to say no. Buy the easily identifiable pork products, and move on to spice aisle.
