Pork Rib- When you debone a pork loin, the ribs that come off of that are the baby back ribs. They are a more tender rib option: The meat in between the ribs is loin meat instead of belly meat. When a few chops are kept together in one piece, they make a rib roast.
Pork Chop- Thick or thin, bone-in or boneless pork chops are cut from meat perpendicular to the spine, often from the loin. It is a really meaty chop, cut from the rump of the pig. It can be bought either on or off the bone.
Pork Leg- Most people eat the rear leg as ham – cured, smoked, and processed in some kind of way. A leg is usually roasted whole, but it can also be deboned and cut into smaller roasting cuts, or thinly sliced to make steaks.
