They look like meaty St. Louis cut, maybe?? What ever they are they need to be cooked and eaten Yum!!

Just what are we looking at in the first two shots? Anyhow, I'm pretty sure they started off at least as pork spares, but maybe GGross is right.

Dunno about 1 & 2 (maybe the 'meat' side of #3 from the sirloin end of Mr Piggy). #3 definitely spares.

I'm not sure but I'm thinking those may be "Country Style" ribs?

If a cow is a cow is a cow, and a pig is a pig is a pig, then how come European cuts look so much different than those stateside??

Very very meaty spares

Yep, spares with the rib-tips removed but the flap meat still intact.
Pic #1 is the rolled meaty side, #2 is a bottom shot with the flap meat, and #3 is a rolled bone side with the flap meat on the bottom. I get them cut like that occasionally from my local mexi-market.

That's what I thought, too, Chris.
